Tablets Will Get Cheaper

By RD Bentley on August 28, 2011 in

It looks like the HP TouchPad sweetheart deals are almost over. Are there any other alternatives? The Velocity Tablets at Amazon are priced fairly reasonable. They may not be the same quality as the iPad, but the price isn’t $500 either. It just depends on what you are looking for.

The HP Tablets are just above the $200 mark and to be honest, this is a pretty good bargain. There’s probably not many left though. That’s the problem. HP will probably sell more of them for $99, but supplies may be limited.

I personally agree with the New York Post piece, which argues that consumers want a cheap tablet. The evidence speaks for itself. There is a big demand for the tablet computer, it’s just that buyer’s can’t see paying higher prices for them.

And if the New York Post gets this one right, Amazon may offer an Android tablet in late September or October, which will be much, much cheaper than the iPad. Cheap enough to open wallets?

It’s inevitable that tablet prices drop in the near future. The HP TouchPad Tablet episode has launched a buying frenzy and may have possibly provoked buyers into posturing for a cheaper product. This is bound to affect retail prices, especially when computer sales have not been so keen in the past several months. Computer tablets do not necessarily have to get cheaper, but there sure are a lot of geeks that are predicting that they will.
