Then I wouldn't expect it to sell very well.
Sure, some people can afford the premium price of the iLiad but many people cannot.
With mobile devices of all sorts being pushed to get cheaper (e.g. the 3G iPhone, netbooks, e-reading devices), manufacturers are going to have to either conceed their products to the smaller niche group of customers with higher disposable incomes or lower their prices to grab volume sales by appealing to the mass market.
They won't continue to be able to have it both ways.
