So consuming media means buying media and that’s where Apple/Jobs wants you to purchase the device itself. It’s nothing new will you say, but it is what they want you to do.

It’s actually the same for the Kindle, where the prices will probably lower or the functionality will increase to compete with the iPad versatility. The objective is to sell YOU the device so that they can get deals with publishers/producers. So, of course they are going to try and sell you the darn thing…

First, the iPad can do no more than my iPhone other than increase the space between the icons on the screen. My fingers are not that fat, so that’s not going to be a big sell point for me. My iPhone, in fact, can do more than the iPad since, among other things, my iPhone has a camera and built in 3G and GPS capability. Why would I pay more for a device and more for monthly service to do exactly what my iPhone can do (minus the camera)?

Second, I was one of those people who had to have the original iPhone for $600 when it first came out. I’m not complaining about that because it was a totally revolutionary device that was unlike anything I had ever experienced, and I was totally cool because I was one of the first ones to have it (Or at least I thought I was cool, and that’s all that matters, right?)… There is a price to be at the front of cutting-edge technology. What I am saying is that I am not going to pay for something now that has the potential of decreasing in price later, especially when it doesn’t do anything extraordinarily better (or worse) than something I already have.

Get ready to lower the price, Apple execs. I’m pretty sure you’re not going to sell too many of these over-sized, reduced-capability iPhones. And you may want to think about firing Steve Jobs again… I think his mojo may have left with his old liver.

Clearly this is a stunning launch failure!

But the $100 upgrade path is pointless. I know apple has always had the $100 double your storage on iPods for years but making it $50 to go to 32GB would be much better.

It will induce potential buyers to wait until the price cut actually happens, lowering current sales. A self-fulfilling prophecy as it were.

Didn’t Apple pretty much raise the price of everything a few years back? Only recently have they tried to be competitive price wise. So overall I could see how historically Apple does not lower prices to compete, but recently they have.
