<<WHO CARES?
Here is what you should care about:
How many will be sold? 2? 20? What is the market for digital cameras at that price point? Will people be willing to shell out $200 additional for the drive? >>
man, you and rocky must be as paranoid as I am. very quick to answer the past post. you are correct technically speaking but, well, right now I don't care since I don't own it. but if there's a change in accumulation pattern... its anticipation of potential sales. not sales. depends partly on who is backing the clik, quality of the pictures, and what the marketing blitz will look like. 2 million digital cameras were sold this year at an average price of $550. they expect to sell 3 million digitals next year. if clik can tap the right vein, the right quality, the right price, the right backer, the right marketing... if cliks a hit, maybe total digitals sold will be 4.5 million with IOM commanding 1 million or more of those. then, what else?
$250/$350 toys are being developed by hasbro in conjunction with MIT coming this christmas. what do you call those toys that change shapes? these toys will supposedly change its shape electronically before your eyes, speak to you, understand some commands. what will be the futre memory exchange medium (other than expensive flash) if these toys are a hit? you want the toy to speak Russian? you slip in the Russian language disk, etc. |
