Why Netbooks Will Soon Cost $99

November 01st, 2008 | Category: Gadget News

Netbooks like the Asus Eee PC, the Dell Mini 9 and the HP 2133 Mini-Note will soon cost $99. The catch? You’ll need to commit to a two-year mobile broadband contract, just like your cell phone. Why so low? 1) the economy; 2)

the cell phone sales crash; 3) the netebook explosion; 4) the netbook glut; 5) the netbook’s World Wide Web dependency; 6) the backlash against 3G; and 7) MOORE’S LAW! NOTE: that story has been SLASHDOTTED!
