Apple products have always been overpriced. Its been accepted for iPods since relatively they are cheap, and subsidized by providers for iPhones, yet hasn't worked for Macs that are overpriced laptops and don't sell well (~5% market share).
The iPad is competing with laptops, not phones. Stop comparing it to iPhone pricing. Apple's success record is dismal in the PC/laptop world, and I don't predict the iPad will change that.

I use a laptop in the real world, and SD cards are cheap to buy and use.
Business will charge whatever they can get, and time will tell if people are willing to pay $700 for another toy that does everything they can currently do.
