Apple in denial?
I've been watching Apple's refurb page and I've been surprised there haven't been price cuts. Maybe it is just too soon after the Kindle Fire's release, but I've begun to wonder if Apple is in denial about the impact the Fire will have on iPad sales. For many people that 7-inch form factor is a plus. Steve Jobs made a major mistake when he left that hole open, a hole in the market, Amazon is now set to exploit.
