Who is the target audience for the iPad?

The target audience is anyone who wants a device to run office apps on (excel, powerpoint, word, etc) browse the web on a large screen, or generally do stuff on it that isnt possible on a small screen but without needing to carry around a larger heavier netbook or laptop. In the words of Apple, its not meant to replace the iPhone or netbooks, but is in it's own class of product between these two. The price defined? Well considering it's "in it's own class", you can't really compare it to products currently around today although similar tablet offerings with windows on it can easily go for over $1000 though you could get a cheaper alternative in a knockoff Android tablet (probably an aPad out there somewhere) for around $100 but severely lacking in usability, user friendly ness, grammar and hardware structual stability.

target audience is rich kids and business people that can easily carry basically a 'mini computer' around. its very helpful target audience is middle class people or people that are good at saving lol. its not very cheap
