iPad 2 do not reduce the price

After Fire and Nook Kindle Tablet appears corresponding retail price is 199 USD and 249 USD, many argue that it was time to discount Apple iPad 2 to battle with rivals. But not so!
Apple does not necessarily reduce the price of new products were successfully maintained for iPad 2 price reduction, if it occurs, will not greatly affect the tablet market for the following reasons.

Discounts are still more expensive

Surely if Apple iPad 2, the discount can not be as low as 199 USD. iPad 2 will still be more expensive than the other tablet form and is preparing to appear on the market. In that case, Apple is still the high-end product lines, Amazon and Barnes & Noble is a company offering cheaper option, the market does not fluctuate much.

The opponents also discounts

Assuming Apple iPad 2 discount options to attract more customers. Just days later, a series of competitors such as Samsung, RIM and Barnes & Noble will also reduce the price of their products. Market situation shows that manufacturers are still decent profit, and thus still capable of further reducing the price further to keep the level of competitive gap with Apple products.

Kindle Fire will certainly not succeed

Reason it is thought that Apple would have to reduce prices or face iPad 2 hard on the tablet market comes from the assumption Kindle Fire success. However, this is by no means certain. Considering the history of the tablet market, has not had many "killer" iPad appear and then quickly faded.
Although Apple iPad 2 is off or not, the manufacturers other tablets have not been successful in recording the mass market.

Other devices do not change

Everyone must acknowledge the high price of the iPad, but also can not deny this is the product provides the best experience for users with good performance, storage rich applications. Besides the iPad, various tablets are described in the papers quite attractive, but in reality is not so. RIM BlackBerry PlayBook's an example with 7 inch screen and built-in email applications and Messeger; Kindle Fire only 8 GB of memory and no camera.
Although there is no discount, iPad 2 is the one offering the most attractive to the majority of customers.

Android has not proved itself

The strength of the brand Apple

Even if the price increases added iPad hundred dollars, this device is still capable of a blockbuster. The reason is simple: because it is a product of Apple. For years, Apple was considered the leading manufacturer of hardware for the enterprise, and both users are also willing to pay high prices to own their product. The fact is no different with iPad 2.

Sales of high capital

With prices from 499 USD or more, iPad 2 has very good retail sales. Apple which has the majority market share and tablets discount firms need iPad

iPad 3 is still a mystery

Even if Apple decided to reduce the price iPad 2, iPad 3 is capable of rich dense released in the near future. In other words, if Apple has discounted iPad 2 is probably just to "make way" for the iPad 3 more expensive. iPad 2 "step back" is back with iPad third place, the market has not changed much.

Current price acceptable to the enterprise

Although businesses are not ready computer applications in the work table, this idea is becoming increasingly heated. Another important thing is if they decide to apply, most companies will choose whether prices are high iPad, which is a product most votes.

Price does not make all

Prices do not affect customer choice so much as some people think. In addition to price, the tablet form is a success in the market depends on a variety of factors such as features, branding, advertising effectiveness, marketing.
