I'm also going to stick with my iPad Air 2 for the time being. It works as a nice tablet and part time laptop well enough right now and still supports the latest versions of iOS and all of the software that I use. If I get any sort of upgrade for the iPad in the future it will almost certainly be one of the Pro models... but the Air 2 is plenty of iPad for me right now so even that is not going to happen for quite some time.
But that new $329 price point for the basic 9.7 inch iPad is a very tempting price for anyone who has been holding on to their iPad for a very long time or who have been wanting one in this size class but just can't stomach the typical iPad 9.7 price tag. But we will have to see what the market for tablets does... because for the last 12 quarters or so people have been indicating that they are either content with their current iPads or just don't give a darn about them anymore.
