They don't have to compete on price. The Apple aficionados would buy it for the regular price, but if they needed an excuse, they could just say they didn't expect to have the same volume for the 7" product.

(I hope "Apple aficionado" isn't considered name calling.)
$499 for a 7" locked-down fondleslab would be highway robbery (you can buy a 10" Transformer 300 for $379, with 1GB RAM and Quad-core Tegra III), but it would probably still sell to a select few. Even the Sammy 7.7 Tab Plus is "only" $449, but comes with a modem.
