I suspect entry level pricing has maybe one more drop (to $49) before the market plateaus. But current growth rates likely won't last more than another year, if that much.
There has been some speculation that households once they own their first device are buying additional devices. Certainly I wouldn't expect gameboy type devices to remain popular when a media tablet can provide games, movies, music, books, web surfing and email in one device. Those kid restriction apps are going to sell like crazy.
