"The iPad is too expensive and there is no iPad lite" - this is were the Android people go off the rails. Comparing the iPad to the Mac for pricing is off base, compare it to the iPod. The original iPod was $399 and has spawned other, lower cost models. The $499 price on the iPad doesn't leave a whole lot of room for competitors to make a profit and Apple is now set to buy parts in large quantities with cheaper, custom silicon.
