Unfortunately, that's one of the things that tends to be true of all new product offerings.
Mostly-screen multi-touch smartphones? They were only for the rich when they first launched too. As demand grows, scale enables other businesses to build cheaper options.
Given how quickly competitors copy anything vaguely new or novel coming out of Apple, it seems reasonable that someone will come up with a similar competing service before long.
If they don't, maybe it's also worth focusing some attention on those who directly try to exploit the poor and/or less knowledgeable?
