Jolla prices first Sailfish OS smartphone at €399 for a 2013 launch
Author: Tiffany Shoman
Jolla has just unveiled its first smartphone, which will go on sale this year for €399 (roughly $ 510). Running the company’s MeeGo-derived Sailfish OS, it features a 4.5-inch display, a dual-core processor, an 8-megapixel camera, LTE (in selected markets), removable back covers, 16GB of onboard storage, and a microSD slot. According to Jolla, the handset will be “compliant” with Android apps, although it’s not sure how many apps will be supported, nor is it clear where users will download the apps from.

HP redesigns its ProBook laptops for small businesses, prices start at $499
Author: Rod Sutherland
Last fall, HP took a small step toward refreshing its ProBook business notebooks when it started offering some of them with AMD Trinity chips. Eight months later, it’s time for a real makeover: the company just announced a handful of new models with a thinner, lighter design and a fresh look. The ProBook 430, 440, 455 and 470 range in size from 13.3 inches to 17.3, and are made of aluminum, with spill-resistant keyboards and a soft-touch paint job. With the exception of the 430, which ships in July with Haswell, they’ll arrive this month with a mix of Ivy Bridge CPUs and AMD Richland chips. (Specifically, only the 14- and 15-inch models will be offered with AMD.)
Other particulars: they all have 1,366 x 768 matte displays (non-touch), with the 17-inch model stepping up to 1,600 x 900. All but the 430 can be had with an optional optical drive; if you skip it, there’s a weighted placeholder sitting where the DVD burner would be. Additionally, the 440, 450 and 470 can be used with a six- or nine-cell user-replaceable battery. Everything comes standard with a hybrid hard drive, but the 430 also has an SSD option. Again, all but the 13-incher will be available this month, for $ 499 and up. So, you can bide your time until then, or you can tide yourself over with that handful of photos below.

Sony prices and dates its 2013 home and shelf audio lineups
Author: Rod Sutherland
Given Sony’s heritage, it’s no surprise that the company loves its audio — but we can imagine that some might be overwhelmed when the company has priced and dated the cores of its 2013 home and shelf audio lineups in one sitting. Don’t worry, we’ll break it all down. On the home audio side, both the BDV-N7100W and BDV-7100W home-theaters-in-a-box (N8100W shown above) are already shipping at respective $ 599 and $ 699 prices with 1,000W 5.1-channel output, internet-linked Blu-ray players and both Bluetooth as well as OneTouch NFC pairing. TV watchers who can wait until June will also see the STR-DN1040, a $ 599 7.2-channel receiver with 4K upscaling, Bluetooth, WiFi and 165W per channel; the $ 449 STR-DN840 receiver, which scales back to 4K passthrough and 150W per channel; and the $ 399 HT-C660 soundbar, which adds NFC pairing to the same wireless mix as the receivers.
Shelf audio is simpler, with every new entry arriving May 27th. Both the LBT-GPX55 (below) and LBT-GPX77 mini stereos offer a respective 1,600W and 1,800W of output alongside Bluetooth, NFC, a CD player (!) and dual USB ports at a $ 499 starting price. Those who don’t need their walls rattled quite so thoroughly can spring for the $ 349 RDH-GTK37iP boombox, which puts out a still-substantial 420W on top of Bluetooth, NFC, an iOS dock and attention-getting strobe lights. That’s a lot information to process, we know. If you’re not satisfied even after that deluge of information, however, Sony’s pressers await after the break.

Intel promises Atom-based touchscreen laptop prices will drop to just $200
Author: Charity Woods
Intel, AMD, and ARM are all contending to offer a compelling Windows 8 experience at a low rate point, however Intel might be poised to shoot ahead. For the time being, you need to pay upwards of $ 400 for a tablet with Intel’s dual-core “Clover Path” Atom processor, but company CEO Paul Otellini claims that prices will drop significantly when the brand-new Bay Trail chip arrives later on this year. Not just will Bay Path presumably offer a quad-core chip without consuming added power, but Otellini declares that “prices are visiting be down to as reduced as $ 200″ for Windows 8 touchscreen laptop computers.
“The touch price points today are still relatively high and they’re coming down extremely quickly over the following couple of quarters,” Otellini stated today, on a quarterly …

Seiki officially prices its 50-inch 4K TV at $1,500 with a late April launch
Author: Mark Jeffries
When Seiki’s 4K TV set popped up on retail listings with a price that’s just a fraction of what we’ve seen from its more expensive rivals, we were almost convinced it was a site glitch — that couldn’t be real, could it? The company would like to reassure us that it’s quite serious. The 50-inch Ultra HD set is officially shipping to the US later in April, and it will still carry that regular $ 1,500 price tag when sales expand from TigerDirect (which claims to have stock today) to include Amazon and QVC, among others. We’d remain cautious about leaping in when Seiki is trying to skip a year or three of the usual commoditization process, but those who insist on their 4K bragging rights won’t have long to wait before they can start boasting.

Australian Parliament summons Apple, Microsoft, Adobe to justify higher prices
Author: JohnnyBells
Had we been wild and spontaneous sufficient to purchase a MacBook Air in Australia in 2011, we ‘d have been looking at a 15 percent premium over the US cost. According to MacRumors, throwing some Adobe software into our antipodean buying cart would have pushed that disparity even greater– to as much as to 75 percent. Which is why the Australian Parliament has actually been examining the way tech giants price their goods in that country, and why it has now officially summoned Apple, Microsoft and Adobe to come over and account for themselves in Canberra on March 22nd. Whether price differences are due greater costs of taxes and warranties, as Apple has independently recommended in the past (see More Insurance coverage), or whether there are more suspicious reasons, this stack of laundry will get aired.

No Comments »Samsung outs Garnet Red Edition Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 in the US, prices it at $220
Author: Antonio Pierce
Just as we saw with AT&T’s Garnet Red Galaxy S III, Samsung has now introduced yet another device that’s wrapped in a similar color scheme — and, hey, with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, what better time, right? The difference here, however, is the South Korean company’s including a matching case as part of this special edition Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, with the newfangled bundle set to be available for $ 220 when it goes on sale this week. Additionally, Samsung’s 7-inch Garnet Red Tab 2 will be shipping with Jelly Bean already onboard, while other internal specs won’t be any different that the ones we became familiar with last year — ones such as the 1,024 x 600 TFT display, 1GHz, dual-core TI OMAP CPU, 8GB of internal storage and, of course, that handy IR blaster. You’ll have to snag one quick if you’re interested, though, as Samsung has told us the blooming Tab 2 7.0 will — much like other peculiar sets — only be available for a limited time at shops like Amazon, Walmart, Office Depot, Tiger Direct, Fry’s Electronics and Toys R Us.

Thunderbolt’s slow start and high prices may be due to Intel ‘working closely’ with select vendors
Author: Janet Odell
Thunderbolt is a little more than a month from its two-year anniversary, and it’s hard to say that the connector is anything more than an expensive, niche product. Things have picked up a bit, but there’s clearly something holding back manufacturers. Intel may be the culprit: according to Ars Technica, the chipmaker’s director of Thunderbolt Marketing & Planning, Jason Ziller, said Intel “‘worked closely’ with vendors it felt could ‘offer the best products’ and could meet its stringent ‘certification requirements.’” We’ve heard rumblings before that Intel’s licensing process was part of the holdup behind getting more (and cheaper) Thunderbolt products out there, but this is the first time we’ve heard Intel suggest it is cherry-picking…

Gameloft cuts many game prices to 99 cents, wants screen time on your gift phone
Author: Mark Jeffries
Even more than a few of us are getting phones and tablets as presents this year, and Gameloft wishes to exist the minute we’re hunting for brand-new apps to feed our gadgets. Accordingly, the developer has slashed the price on many of its current games to 99 cents during the holidays, even including better-known titles like Asphalt 7 and Dark Knight Rises. Not surprisingly, the discounting doesn’t consist of Modern Fight 4 and a few other releases– there have to be profit-makers left someplace, after all– but it’s a significant break for those who wish a couple of starter titles and aren’t concerned about constantly having the current and biggest. Both Android and iOS gamers could splurge at the source links.

Penguin joins publishers settling with the DOJ over e-book prices
Author: Mark Jeffries
The US Division of Justice may have just reached settlements with three of the five significant publishers it had actually demanded presumably correcting e-book costs, but it’s improving its track record through a brand-new offer with Penguin. Like its peers, the company has accepted end any pacts that avoid it from decreasing e-book prices, whether the plans are with Apple or other shop operator. While Penguin hasn’t right away commented on its change of heart, a company spokesperson made clear to The Guardian that an EU settlement was for “clearing the decks” ahead of a joint venture with Random House– Penguin didn’t want government analysis towering above its union. The truce leaves Macmillan as the last publication giant still slated to go to court in the US, and it could not get much support when Apple belonged to the European arrangement.
