FlipStart announces $500 price reduction
Wow. And you thought that $200 iPhone price drop was hurtful. After roughly 3-4 years of vaporware jokes and only a few months of actual sales time (March ’07) the fine folks at FlipStart have announced a $500 price drop on the v1.0 model. Somehow I don’t think we’ll be seeing any “early adopter” rebates… On a plus side however you do get the choice of XP Pro or Vista Business for the same price!
Effective September 25, the FlipStart super compact PC will be available for $1,499 USD. The first commercial product from FlipStart Labs, the super compact PC is designed to provide mobile professionals with everything they expect from their laptops, including full Windows® operating system, communications, entertainment and flexible wireless connectivity in a convenient clamshell design. Since launching the FlipStart on April 3, 2007, the company has received an enthusiastic response from consumers and, as a result, has expanded product availability through the resale channel.
I remember waiting and waiting for this thing … only to have it show up as an ugly brick. Too bad too – I had such big hopes!
