Is $9.99 the New Price of Software for iPad?

With most pay apps in the App Store running at $0.99 could most apps for the iPad be $9.99?

iWork for iPad will be $9.99 per app. That means you can have at Pages, Keynote, and Numbers for under $35.

With developers delivering quality content at such a low price point, can we see the same low prices if this low priced iPad becomes widely adopted?

I say it’s $10 for an app and $30 for a Grand Theft Auto Irish Mafia.

    $10 would be much too expensive for many of the one trick ponies we see on the iPhone right now. So if that’s the price point, we’ll never see the volumes we’ve gotten used to on the app store.
    But, as many developers know how to develop for iPhone/iPod touch by now, I think there’ll be many simple $2.99 and $4.99 titles (if iPad sales take off, that is).

    I only need Pages, and it almost makes up for the device not running OSX. The ability to create a doc on this device is the clincher for me. Very pleased.

    They should have just started pricing at $599 and included camera and iWork (and some accessories).

    I can’t wait until we can buy ALL our software this way, be it on the iPod, iPad, or my MacBook.
