No, most people thought the ipad at $500-$750 was overpriced at the time. They thought it would be comparable to the prices of netbooks ($300 range). And I defended the price knowing now what we know (other android tablets are expensive too). But as this first article indicates, the main reason why people AREN'T buying the ipad is because they think it is overpriced still, along with the apps: http://www.thinq.co.uk/2010/12/7/apples-ipad-faces-pricing-challenge/ http://www.thinq.co.uk/2010/12/7/apples-ipad-faces-pricing-c... http://www.bnet.com/blog/new-media/note-to-magazine-industry-your-ipad-apps-are-too-expensive/2932 http://www.bnet.com/blog/new-media/note-to-magazine-industry... http://www.businessinsider.com/john-squires-ipad-is-big-and-beautiful-but-too-expensive-2010-2 http://www.businessinsider.com/john-squires-ipad-is-big-and-... http://darrenbeckett.com/20100129_Does_the_iPad_Cost_Too_Much http://darrenbeckett.com/20100129_Does_the_iPad_Cost_Too_Muc... http://tamebay.com/2010/05/is-the-ipad-too-expensive-as-a-toy.html http://tamebay.com/2010/05/is-the-ipad-too-expensive-as-a-to... Search for ipad too expensive or ipad over-priced and you'll see tons of examples. Again though, my argument was that we thought it was overpriced when it was announced a year ago. I think now we can see that it wasn't so bad or unreasonable a price. And by the way your response below indicates you are against even a hint of criticism of the ipad, even though I'm not criticizing it at all in either of my responses. Don't know why I bother feeding trolls though.
