Notebooks Tempt as Prices Drop
08/02/2004 04:29 AMNot long ago, notebook computers were expensive accessories for
traveling executives. Now, it's not a surprise to find many choices
priced under $1000. A recent check of Web stores found major vendors
offering notebooks on the cheap (aka "inexpensive," as the
companies that sell them would prefer). IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and Dell
are all offering portable models for under $750.
Forrester Research analyst Simon Yates isn't surprised.
"Notebooks between $800 and $1000 are becoming prevalent,"
he says, which makes the $750 price not entirely out of line. Yates
sees this as "the result of a willingness--or lack thereof--[by
consumers] to pay more than $1200 for a PC." If you really hunt
for bargains, they can get even better. Last year, Gartner Group
analyst Martin Reynolds bought a new notebook for his father that,
after rebates, cost less than $500.

06/22/2004 10:24 PMMacCentral:
Sony
gaming exec: Broadband prices need to drop. "With the average
monthly cost of broadband, about US$40, a customer could buy a new
PlayStation 2 game every month." Translation: Stop competing with us
for the public's disposable income. Please make less money so we can
make more money. "Future versions of gaming consoles will be able to
provide HDTV-ready games." This seems to confirm my hunch that the PS3
will have HD resolution. If it can play high definition Blu-ray
movies, people will sort of expect the games to be HD, too.

manufacturers to lower prices on their products to help gaming grow on
the Internet, said Kazuo Hirai, president and chief executive officer
of Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. Hirai, speaking at a
Congressional Internet Caucus event in Washington, D.C., Tuesday,
called on broadband providers to reduce prices as a way to drive more
U.S. residents to broadband and drive more interest in console gaming
through the Internet. Television manufacturers can help spur interest
in console gaming, he added, by pricing high-definition television
(HDTV) sets in a range that's affordable for average U.S. residents.

Cell Carriers Quietly Drop Data Plan
Prices
04/23/2004 09:52 PMThe Feature notes that cell data prices have dropped, quietly: A few
weeks ago, it was $80 per month for unlimited data from those who
offered unlimited plans, with lower fees only for metered services.
Cingular offered no unlimited service. In the face of faster national
networks and Verizon Wireless's commitment coupled with T-Mobile
($20/month) and Sprint PCS ($15/month) pricing, The Feature's Eric Lin
notes a host of small changes. Verizon Wireless is now down to
$50/month for 1xRTT, but still charges $80/month for PC Card-based
1xEvDO. Cingular plummeted its GRPS and limited EDGE to $20 per month
(but it's not listed as such on their site yet). AT&T Wireless is
offering GPRS/EDGE at $45/month. To quote Mike Masnick of TechDirt,
So, now it seems that the entry point for the highest speed is $80,
then you drop to $50 when there's a bit of competition, and down to
about $20 when your service doesn't have much to distinguish itself
any more....
