What about competition with the iPod touch? At $250 it would be $50 than the new iPod touch. If I had to guess I would say $300-$350, not $250-$300. Plus a price that low would cut into Apple's extremely high profit margin.

Meh. Price-wise, I suspect you will see the iPod Touch XL slot in between the non-XL iPod Touch models and the iPad models. There is a gap that presently exists that can be nicely filled by the iPod Touch XL.
As far as the cannibalization argument goes, there may be some, but I suspect the extent to be minimal. A million iPads traded for 10 million incremental iPod Touch XL sales would be an acceptable trade, IMO.

My guess is the models will range 249-349 maybe even more solely on available features.
If they release a low cost ipad mini with worse connectivity than the ipod touch, or even less memory, less competition will occur.
Ex. 32 gig ipod touch and 8 gig ipad mini being same price.
I wouldn't put it passed Apple.

Apple's spoilage on costumer with high cost is ending now...Apple is falling in favor of the competition...if they wont drop down their price at competitive price,they'll lose the battle

I said right away that mini will take a big chunk off the big iPad.
And I say Munster is actually off in his prediction, the cannibalism rate will be much higher - people will buy either the mini either the classic iPad. There's really no point in buying both

take 1 million from the full sized ipad and 10 million from android tablets. Not bad.

With phones getting bigger, I am still not getting the appeal of the 7" tablet. My iPad 2 basically is a stay at home device and my Galaxy S3 goes where I go.
Where does the 7" tablet fit into this equation? (outside of lower price points)
