Your are right, the lower price would have reception of the people that couldn't afford the high price ones and want to use iPad. They shouldn't expect much features though it still an iPad from Apple, then they belong to the class of iPad user.
Device with cheaper price usually come with low configurations like memory size, processor speed, storage size, etc. For instance, there are laptop computers that are below $500 and some are far above this price, it all depend on the features. If I don't mind the storage capacity, the screen size, and the other features attached, I can buy a lower cost iPad.
Well, I heard and read it one time that when some devices start to come out in a lower price compared to when it first came out, there is a kind of reduction in the features in the cheaper versions
@electronyx: I would think the less expensive version would have less storage as well. But there are a lot efficiencies that can be gained in screen production--smaller screen mean bigger yield per glass panel. Since the display is the biggest component of the iPad--at the biggest cost--the savings are considerable.
The cheaper would be definitely a very good option since this is just an leisure device for the entertainment. How much does the price will be reduce with the screen size reduction. Will there be any other feature reduction?
I start thinking about the apps on appstore. How would Apple maintain compatability in terms of display ? Currently there are apps designed for iPhone screen and iPad screens (HD),

Peter Drucker famously said "Trying to predict the future is like trying to drive down a country road at night with no lights while looking out the back window." Yet in the razor's-edge world of electronics—with a lean supply chain and just-in-time demands—the need to know the future is vital.
While no one really can accurately predict the future, we can take guidance from another Drucker saying which is the best way to predict the future is to create it.
You've heard the saying "the No. 1 supply chain risk is your people." That hasn't always been the case. But today's complex global supply chain requires a new type of multitalented employee.

Brian Fuller, editor-in-chief of EBN, will lead a 60-minute Avnet Velocity panel discussion that will ask and answer these and other questions swirling around today's supply-chain talent challenges.
