I don't think it costs $275.00 to create one iPad but manufacturing in bulk does bring the cost down considerably below the market value.

As you stated, Apple makes money off iTunes, peripherals and software. Now. Factor these in. Manufacturing the iPad and the cost of software for it vs. Price of the merchandise. It is all contingent on people that they BUY them.

And I'm saying people won't buy them.

So revenue may increase but (I am now skeptical) IF they make a profit off the iPad it will be slim.
