So, Gizmodo is running a contest: Guess the features of the upcoming Apple tablet correctly, and they’ll give you one. (I assume there are some engineers in Cupertino who’ll have a couple of extra tablets to sell on eBay, soon.)
Fortunately, Gizmodo has its own predictions. Here’s what they say about the price:
People are guesstimating a wild range. Mine: $600, and they will still make money out of it. My gut feeling is that Steve Jobs and Co. believe this will be their biggest contribution to computing since the original Apple Macintosh. And they will want it to be cheap, so it can spread quick, like wildfire.
Excuse me a moment: Hahahahahahahahahahaha. Ahem.
There are a few things that Apple never does:
- Compete on price.
- Charge anything less than the absolute maximum that the market will support
- Do anything for altruistic reasons (not necessarily relevant here, just bears mentioning).
