I think the idea is awesome in terms of accessibility and apple will certainly get praises for that which they deserve, however I think the product itself is a rip off. sure, it's $499, but then they plan to rape you at the app counter, so yeah it's accessible alright, but is it worth a place i

And do you have evidence that Apple will "rape" you at the App Counter? I think offering the iWork suite for the iPad at $10 per app is a very fair price. I am not sure what developers will charge for their apps exactly, but I gather the prices will not be substantially different than what is c

I think that what Cody is referring too is the price of the apps and games for the IPad.. They arre outrageous compared to the IPhone and IPod apps and could easily shrink the pocketbook making the prospect of having an IPad with all of the apps you want quite expensive. On Apr 6, 2010, at 12

As they say, what the market will support is the price you can charge. It's only outrageous if they price it such that nobody buys the stuff. As early adopters the appStore devs are probably trying to milk things a bit, but that can't last as cheaper competitors will come online. CB carlene k
