According to a recent Wall Street Journal article, Apple was noted as wanting to remain “nimble” when it comes to iPad pricing. In other words, despite the seemingly nice starting price of $499, if sales are poor that could possibly be lowered.

“While it remains to be seen how much traction the iPad gets initially, management noted that it will remain nimble (pricing could change if the company is not attracting as many customers as anticipated),” Shope wrote.

Sounds shocking, it may even cause some people to hold tight and wait for a price drop. But if you think back, this is not all that new of a concept. After all, the original iPhone was launched and then pretty quickly given a $200 price cut.

Is anyone planning to buy an iPad? Will this little tidbit be enough to convince you to wait a while, or are you willing to pay the early-adopter tax? Me, I would like to say that I will wait, but I am an early-adopter.
