I don't know if this analogy is safe to draw, but compare the Mac price of iWork ($80) to Mac Office Home ($150). Both are quite successful. Maybe pro apps will be able to take off at $20 or more on the iPad.
On one hand, it is much less than the corresponding PC software titles, but at the same time many of the variable costs (especially testing & support) are reduced due to the cohesiveness of the platform.
