In accordance to a survey initiated by electronics shopping site Retrevo, consumers have lost interest after the product's launch less than two weeks ago.
More than 50% respondents claimed that they were not interested after the iPad, which was announced, compared to a week prior. Of course, there are lies, damned lies, and statistics—three times as many said they were confident they would buy one after finding out the product's details.
Also it is reported that 26 percent of those surveyed posted they knew about the device but weren't interested. While, another 21 percent of those surveyed revealed they were still interested but wanted to know more about the iPad.
Apple is not the first company to have a product launch experience a tad sour. A $50-$100 price cut would send the giant Apple’s fans over the edge with iPad excitement.
A final survey question post-announcement questioned consumers about whether they felt the $130 upgrade to 3G data was needed took out a glaring result with 59 percent saying no, while just 12 percent agreeing with it. The rest were still undecided.
It seems clear that a sudden, unexpected, even last-second price cut could turn so-so first week sales into a blockbuster, generating momentum to carry the iPad forcefully into the marketplace.
