Well, if lots of people are willing to pay for it, how can it be overpriced?

You are missing the point. They will pay whatever apple charges and won't even think twice because it is apple. Doesn't matter what it is worth to them. Thats just the fanbase. Imagine the sales they would have for this if they would have just priced it for what it is actually worth.

JFC you know thats not what I meant. Most everything that apple sells is priced way over the competition and is on a closed system to boot. I'm not saying the ipad isn't a good product. I have messed around with one and I like it. But it isn't worth $500. Especially for a base model.

My example was just an extreme one where they would obviously be overpriced and units sold would clearly prove it. It almost seems as if what you're really saying is not that they're overpriced, but that Apple is making too much profit on them... |

You have to admit anything with an i in front of it is sold for more than any of its competition. IMO the only thing they have that is almost worth the price is the ipod touch and even that is $30 more than it needs to be.

Several emulators available for iPad.... jailbreak only apps. But you can get emulators for NES, SNES, Genesis, Gameboy, 64, etc.
And you can use a Wiimote as a controller...

The goal that companies have when setting a price is to choose the price that will generate the highest net profit. Apple appears to do a good job at setting their prices. I wonder if the have an internal app for that?

Just imagine the profits they could make if they would just tap into the in-between market of buyers that think it is over-priced.

It's also a good product. If it was a shit product, people wouldn't buy it.
