Are you planning to postpone buying an iPad because Apple, looking at their history, may soon drop the price once the early adapters and fanboys have purchased the product? It looks like a distant possibility this time:
Much of this “wait for the price drop” sentiment stems from the original iPhone 4 GB and 8GB models, which debuted in late June of 2007 for $499 and $599, respectively. By September of that same year, the 4 GB model was scrapped and the 8 GB unit dropped $200 to $399..
The entire event tarnished Apple’s luster in the eyes of consumers and this isn’t a company that repeats mistakes often… Apple won’t tread this path again with the iPad. link.
