[QUOTE="_Stormin, post: 1365898, member: 216138"] Welcome to the forum. The iPad to cost of materials alone is about $300 for the 16GB version. I understand that in much of consumer electronics the end retail markup is ridiculous. With the iPad it really isn't. Apple makes a lot less on the device because they control the back end market for media/apps/movies/etc... I will admit that the 64GB version costs less than $100 dollars more to produce, but they aren't making 400% on anything in the iPad line up... The extras (docks/cases/covers) may have that kind of margin built in, but the iPad doesn't. [/QUOTE]
