We can’t really say we’re surprised, but Microsoft has announced a 64GB version of Zune HD. This one is arriving on April 12th in the Zune online store, it will hit other retailers later.

It comes on the scene with a few different color options and a $349.99 price tag. The 16GB and 32GB versions will each get a $20 price cut, to $200 and $270. Does this make all of your Zune hopes and dreams come true?

We all love a bargain, and with the prices of Apple gear being what they are, you would love to save some money right? According to Credit Suisse analyst Bill Shope, Apple executives have said that the pricing will be “nimble” on the iPad. It depends on the demand.

Now that’s not the same as an official confirmation that there will be a price drop, but it makes a lot of sense. If they lower the $499 price point they might actually have competitors worried. A lower price would certainly help any fence-sitters make up their minds to buy.

The Apple iPad’s price has just been officially announced, complete with handy-dandy chart for those who love charts. Full pricing is as follows:

The 16GB, Wi-Fi-only version costs $500, while the 32GB version is $600. Lastly, the 64GB version will cost you $700. If you want to add 3G, the pricing increases by $130 on top of that. The Wi-Fi-only models will ship in 60 days, while 3G models will be shipping in 90 days.

Well, it may not have gotten a 2009 release, but ASUS has just confirmed that the Eee Keyboard PC will go on sale next month for between $500 – $600. The price is about what we expected, but really we’re just glad it is finally arriving after such a long wait.

To refresh your memory, it runs on a previous generation Intel Atom N270 1.6 GHz processor, has a single DIMM slot, with 1 gigabyte of DDR2 memory and no accessible way to upgrade to 2 GB. A 16-GB SSD comes standard, with an option to go to 32 GB. It also has a built-in battery which lasts up to 4 hours.

Archos’s 4.8-inch A5 series has already passed the FCC, and now we have price and capacity info on the device which will launch on September 15th. The A5 will come in two flash and two hard drive capacities, featuring a 16/32GB SSD or a 160/500GB HDD.

It will cost you $294 for the 16GB version, $370 for the 32GB, $320 for the 160GB and $420 for the 500GB version. Rumor is that the A5 will have 720p video output, but like the Zune HD, you’ll need to buy a dock. The dock for the A5 with DVR functionality is $130.

The Dell Adamo is an impressive laptop. If it has one major problem, it’s the price. We hear ya. Times are tough Dell. How about a little stimulous plan or something? Well, Dell may not feel your pain, but it does want your money so they’ve lowered the price in order to get it.

The starting price for the 1.2GHz Adamo has been reduced from $1,999 to $1,499, while the high-end model with an SSD and a 1.4GHz processor is down to $2,299.

The Nokia N86 had already been announced for the U.S., but an update on their bulletin board has dropped the pricetag to $558 unlocked from their flagship store. To refresh your memory, the N86 has the same two-way slide of its N85 predecessor and features Nokia’s first 8 megapixel camera.

Sure, it’s still pretty expensive, but at least you are getting that 8-megapixel camera. We are wondering just how many will be swayed at this price point. Let us know what you think. Does this ell you on it?

How time flies. It’s been about five months since Amazon introduced the Kindle 2 e-reader. To celebrate, or maybe just to move more units, the company has slashed $60 off of the price tag, giving it a US price of $299.

Now that it’s under $300, they should be able to move more of the devices. The e-reader market is getting more competitive, so it’s a good move. Question of the day. Now that the Kindle 2 is under $300, does it make up your mind to get one?

Looks like Dell has made a rather costly mistake in Taiwan. Apparently a promotional deal went online with the wrong price of $15 for some monitors. Within eight hours, 26000 customers had ordered 140000 monitors. Ouch!

The Taiwanese regulators are making Dell fulfill the order. It’s not the customer’s fault after all. The original price of the monitors was supposed to be about $150. After Dell changed the price, 471 complaints were filed and Dell will have to use the $15 price for clients who have ordered those monitors. Dell will try to apply a deep discount to some others.

One of Ars Technica’s sources says that the Xbox 360 lineup will see price shifts this fall. They also confirm that the PS3 Slim is still on the way. In September the Xbox 360 Pro (Priced at 60GB, $299) will be replaced by the Elite (Priced at 120GB for $399). On one hand, the Xbox is getting a price cut. On the other, the 360 doesn’t sound like it’s getting cheaper with a lower entry level price.

You’ll also be happy to know that ars has also restated their claim that a PS3 Slim will arrive this fall along with price drops “on the hardware that’s out now.”

WowWee’s Cinemin Swivel pico projector first showed up back at CES, when it was announced along with the Stick and Station models. This DLP is the first of Wowwee’s iPod-compatible multimedia pico projectors powered by Texas Instruments’ DLP Technology. It boasts 480 x 360 resolution, an adjustable 90-degree hinge so you can do things like project onto the ceiling easily, and a three-hour battery life to boot.

We now have official release and pricing information. Well, for the UK. It will be making it’s debut in the UK this September, where it will retail for £349 or around $571.

This rumor, if true, may be a sign that Apple wants to compete with netbooks or that in this economy, they don’t think that consumers will continue to pay a premium for the Apple name in the longterm. Either way, Apple may push the cost of the MacBook Air down while extending its feature set. Unnamed sources for SiliconRumors claim that an entry-level model will push the price down to between $1,300 and $1,500, or at least $300 less than the current model. Whether this would be a smaller model or just a price cut isn’t clear.

The same tips say that Apple will add at least an option for built-in 3G for wide-area wireless and may make solid-state drives standard on all models instead of a high-end option. GPS to locate the Mac is an option but “less likely.”

It’s official. Starting tomorrow you can get the aged Playstation 2 for just $99.99. Just like we told you yesterday. So stop denying yourself and go play some of those old games you’ve been missing out on.

Good news. Unless it’s Sony’s idea of an April Fools prank. Probably their way of bolstering the numbers this fiscal year. Who cares, we all win.

There’s not much to go on here. Just some guy’s word, but there’s talk that the permanent retail price of the PlayStation 2 console will soon fall below $100. It would certainly be long overdue. The console currently retails for $129.99.

It was in April of 2006 when Sony adjusted the price of the PS2 last time. Will April of 2009 be the month they get it below $99.99? The images above are from a Kmart pricing system. We’ll have to wait and see what happens, but a price shift at this point would make sense.

You might have heard. What with the whacked economy and all, Hyundai is not only making cars, but cell phones as well.

To refresh, the MB-910 timepiece is a tri-band GSM/GPRS mobile phone with around three hours of talk time, 70 hours on standby and polyphonic ringtones. No video calls, but it does have a 132 x 176 touchscreen able to display WAP-captured content, SMS and MMS messages, and videos.
