>>Wall Street seems to agree with you, John
Not easy to satisfy an existing loyal user base that likes brand exclusivity achieved by high prices and premium reputation, while also grabbing a share of the growth/low price market. Will be interesting to see how it goes- if the price is too high for emerging markets then for Western customers I can't imagine who would want to save maybe $100 by taking the el cheapo plastic version rather than the prestige model.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
