BestBuy will chop the price of HTC’s Flyer to $299 from $499 October 1, CrunchGear reported Friday. The move comes after many retailers chopped the price for RIM’s PlayBook and Motorola’s Xoom to just $299. And, of course, HP has outdone them all, slashing the price of its TouchPad to just $99 on its way out of the business it entered just a few months ago. The punchline: none of these prices match the $199 price Amazon put on the 7-inch tablet computer it introduced Wednesday. And the Kindle Fire won’t even be released until November 15. That makes Apple the only company moving tablet computers to consumers in serious volume. The starting price for an iPad 2 remains $499. forbes.com
