Apple Could Skim The iPad's Price

February 9, 2010

Credit Suisse's analysts met with some Apple executives this Sunday, and according to what they heard, $499 isn't the lowest Apple can go on the iPad.

Apparently,

Apple intends to stay “nimble” on pricing of the iPad, possibly lowering prices if the newly unveiled tablet device fails to gain traction among consumers.

Some are claiming that this isn't much of a surprise because after all the iPhone did start at $600, it still raises an important question: should we hold off?

Well, if you were to look at it according to economists' game theory or history, we'd be better off holding off. On the other hand, I don't believe Apple would go through with this and it might very well just be a way of addressing their negative stock price, but I might be biased.

Feeling early adopter or laggard on this one?
