Sony Electronics rang in 2012 with a surprising discount that may foreshadow much about the tablet market this year. Overnight I received email from a Sony spokeswoman saying the company “has permanently dropped the price of the Sony Tablet S by $100 starting today”. This follows what seemed like a temporary $50 discount right before Christmas. If you paid $499.99 or $599.99 before Santa’s sleigh ride, 16GB Sony S is now $399.99 and 32GB 499.99.
So what did you think of the Windows Mobile 7 sneak preview that Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer slipped into his CES keynote last night?
