  • HP’s $1.2 billion investment in webOS persuaded me that it was in the tablet race for the long haul. I defended the company’s move to sell the TouchPad at a discount and even bought one, only to find out days later that I was wrong: HP wasn’t selling the tablet at low prices to expand the user base quickly and help attract developers. HP apparently gave the TouchPad only a brief chance to gain an audience.

  • And getting the right price could make all the difference for Samsung. "They don't want to be more expensive than the iPhone," Segan said.
  • But that 4G network connection may prove a major difference between the two. 
  • Unless Apple has made some sort of secret breakthrough, [the faster LTE network] might make a Verizon iPhone too thick and power-hungry for Apple's demands this year. Apple may skip it for now and wait for smaller and cooler chipsets," Segan noted.
  • That faster connection really pays off for anyone surfing a lot of complicated websites or viewing movies over Netflix, he said. 
  • But in the end, pricing, a final feature set and the design is all up to the carriers. "The mainstream price for a smartphone is $199 with contract," Segan noted. "We're all hoping for $199."

  • Best Buy, the electronics retailer, cut the price of the TouchPad to $99 in an attempt to clear its stock. Best Buy was last week reported to have more than 200,000 of the tablets. The low price brought queues outside its stores and, according to one staff employee, a “stampede” from customers hoping to land a bargain.
  • HP's decision to discontinue its TouchPad product, Best Buy will now provide clearance pricing for all TouchPad 16GB and 32GB models regardless of previously advertised prices or promotions," Best Buy said. The company said that anyone who had bought a TouchPad after June 19 would be entitled to a refund.
  • Though Amazon.com has not discounted the TouchPad, the device still went to the top of Amazon’s bestselling electronics chart. The HP tablet took the top two places in the chart, ahead of Amazon’s Kindle ebook reader, which is usually a fixture at number one.

  • Every car should be this fun to drive. And easy.
  • ing a manumatic (no clutch), the third-generation SLK was easy on my left knee. And with 302 horsepower available from the 3.5-litre V6, my right foot did not need to floor it to reach hair-whipping speeds. The SLK goes from zero to 100 kilometres an hour in a mere 5.6 seconds and on to a top speed of 210 km

  • Inside the roadster, the opulent leather seats are fit for a queen. The adjustable driver's seat provided a soft and comfortable but snug perch behind the adjustable steering wheel. Snug in a good way - the seats envelop you until they feel like part of your body. No matter how fast I drove or how curvy the road was, neither I nor the car experienced the slightest hint of body roll, thanks in large part to the standard Dynamic Handling Package.
