They *all* launched at the exact same prices St Jobs demanded. Classic horizontal price fixing.

The internal emails about the price points are part of the public record.
As are the ones about forcing Random House to support ibooks or be blocked from the appstore and the ones about using indigo/kobo as coordinator in Canada.

Those aren't blog posts, they are validated court evidence.
