Two months after the ipad, the Kindle price declined sharply and a WiFi model came out. Cioncidence? Doubt it.(Most biz analysts doubt it too).

You're forgetting Kobo. They popped onto the scene on 01 May 2010 at $149. I didn't have an ereader at that time and had previously considered the Nook until Kobo came along. That's when B&N dropped its price and Amazon immediately countered. The iPad had nothing to do with this.
