And it's so inexpensive, too. Just a paltry $799.

there is a nice story about one maker of a high end audio cables. it started with some decent prices. no one is buying them. on the verge of desperation maker decided to do one last move, the very same cables started to sell for quadruple price...the end result: customers went crazy, he can't make enough of them...

I guess they had to try something to stop the market bleeding and narrowing of margins.

It makes sense that some power users might need the bump in capacity, and these businesses these people work for would be the ones paying for it:

Each bump in memory is $100: iPad 4 16GB - $499 iPad 4 32GB - $599 iPad 4 64GB - $699 iPad 4 128GB - $799 (Which actually means this is the most reasonable (as in $/MB) of all of the bumps.) The prices are about what people will pay, not what it costs. In the UK, it costs £40 to go from 8GB to 16GB for a Nexus 4 or 7, but £70 for the same increase for a Nexus 10. Is that because it costs so much more? No, it is because that is what they think people will pay. Last edited by murraypaul; 01-29-2013 at 04:56 PM. |

It would make even more sense to have a memory card reader built in but don't hold your breath.
