Dell to Dive into Consumer Electronics Market
"Dell is unveiling plans Thursday to make a major push into consumer electronics, selling flat-panel TVs and MP3 players on its popular Web site and � in a remarkable departure for Dell � opening an online music-downloading store. In exclusive interviews with USA TODAY, Dell laid out its strategy.
"The question is, how much and how far Dell can go with it?" says Dell President Kevin Rollins. "How many new products can Dell add to its portfolio? Where does it end? We think there's a somewhat limitless number of products and services we could get into."
That's a small picture of the X3, and I'll be posting more in the next few minutes - stories are popping up all over about the new X3.

I already posted this, but I think the basic will go for a minimum of $150 and a max of $175. I'm leaning towards $150 though. Any takers????? :lol:

I wonder what Gateway thinks of all this (not to mention established consumer electronics powerhouses) :wink:

If integrated with WiFi and still below $200, that would be another major breakthrough in price for Dell. I bet the price is more like sub-$200 for the non wireless version and $250+ for the wireless version. I hope I am wrong.

If Dell can push the price of consumer electronics down like it says in the article, then I say "Go Dell Go"

$400, :roll: that doesn't seem right. I hope you are wrong, this doesn't seem low enough for dell to have any sort of edge with it's newer models.

$400 for the wi-fi model? No, it is not the correct price, considering
1. the rumored h4150 priced at $449 with both wi-fi and bluetooth
2 Toshiba e750 $399 with both CF and SD and 3.8inch LCD.

BOOM! I was right! Dell is introducing its own music store. Too bad we don't yet know the pricing on the MP3 player.
