The rumour is that it's aimed at "emerging markets" where it may be
more popular. It may also do well in schools. 

Apple probably made it available for everyopne to stop the whiners
complaining that they couldn't get get one (as has happened with

complaining that they don't want one. Apple simply can't win with these
