But don't hold your breath waiting for the price to fall. Apple tends to establish price points and increase features at that price. The iPhone price drop was a rare exception.
The reward for waiting will be a faster, lighter iPad. But not a cheaper one.

I wouldn't be surprised if the dropped the 16GB model and moved to $500 for 32GB and $600 for 64GB. They've done similar with iPods in the past etc. Memory isn't that expensive so that's one way to make the products more attractive price wise without really dropping price/lowering their profit per sale much.
