What HP's TouchPad fire sale tells iPad rivals - Telegraph - 0 views

  • What HP's TouchPad fire sale tells iPad rivals For a short time this week, the TouchPad was the world’s most wanted gadget. Now with stocks sold out, HP is left to wonder what might have been.
  • Hundreds of thousands of TouchPads have been sold in days, after HP announced it would stop manufacturing its would-be iPad competitor.
  • The sudden desirability of the device was of course due to heavy discounting. Currys and PC World were selling their stocks off for just £89, down from the original RRP of £399.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • each of the gadgets cost HP at least £180 just to build, so selling the Touchpad for £89 would never have been considered until the firm decided to abandon it.
  • others hoping to loosen Apple’s stranglehold on the tablet computing market.
  • The main Google Android tablets, made by Samsung and Motorola, are pitched at around the same £400-ish price point as the iPad. But, put together with all the other Android tablets, it’s estimated they are outsold by Apple’s devices eight to one.
  • Amazon, which is rumoured to be preparing to release an Android tablet this autumn. Like Apple with the iPad, it has built and dominated a market for itself with the Kindle, its hugely successful e-reader.
  • Kindle’s success is its relatively low price of £111

Firefox 6 already sees bump in traffic soon after debut | ZDNet - 0 views

  • Firefox 6 already sees bump in traffic soon after debut
  • Firefox 6 just launched last week, and new research already sees the latest version of Mozilla’s browser accounting for a significant fraction of traffic.
  • After Chitika took a look at all U.S. and Canadian traffic between August 16 and 22, the survey found that Firefox 6 has already garnered at least eight percent of the total traffic from browsers and approximately 45 percent of all Firefox-stemming traffic.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • However, don’t get too excited for Firefox 6 just yet. Chitika found that the growth rate for Firefox 6 is starting to taper off, likely due to the fact that all of the early adopters have already downloaded and started using Firefox 6.
  • Chitika also found that Firefox 6 usage peaks during the morning and at the end of the day, but very early morning hours tend to belong to Internet Explorer. Yet, this phenomenon is only relevant to Firefox 6 and not previous editions of the software. It’s not clear what Mozilla could try to do to make up for this gap — except maybe start some kind of advertising campaign targeted at night owls and graveyard shift employees.
