Well, I guess I did imply that they would drop the price accordingly, but my main point was that pricing strategies have little to do with altruism as well.
The cost was absorbed by the manufacturers of these devices, and if it drops, good for them... but do you really think they'll pass that directly on to consumers?
You really think they were absorbing the cost before? Still, I agree that any price drops will not exactly be through the floor.
