Today in a country like ours, it is so easy to get what you want.
'Click', a map of wherever you are, whenever you wish. A genie in
your pocket says, 'Hey your buddy's calling, wanna talk?'
Breakthrough. But being amazed by something we take for granted is
not what I'm here to talk about. I have one point, if things like
these are available, why are they so out of reach to those who need
them. The man trying to make a few coins, raising corn, is the one
who needs the information on harvest. The man trying to get off the
street is the one who needs to know where help is. The man blowing
his nose on twenties isn't the one who needs the car with the electric
map, or the brick that plays 80,000 songs. So what I'm trying to say,
if you're targeting an audience with a product, make it in their price
range! For example, I've been saving up since my birth to make a
purchase of my dreams, a simple laptop. It's the cheapest of their
line, the smallest of their hard drives. I'm not saying I'm the man
on the street, or the farmer in the field. I'm saying I'm the kid on
his parent's computer, knowing that he wants to build something that
will change the world forever. But that can't happen if week after
week, 'amazing improvements' are being made that raise the price by
50$ increments.
I just want to know, if anyone is where I am, and if I'm ever going to
get where I want to be. I know that you need to 'bring yourself past
obstacles.' But I'm impatient, I know this. I want the wait to end.
I want the rich companies to think about what's best for its customers
and the future of their business with them.

Good luck with that mate!

Seriously though I am notoriously uncaring about other people who ive never even met
for example... erm we are running a business, its a nationwide competition in schools, we were buying roses for valentines day but a cheaper deal was found... we were buying them from a teachers daughters friend (the teacher was the one running the comp for our school) No money was exchanged, no contract had be drawn out so I suggested "screw her, lets go for the cheaper ones" the rest of my team said "We cant do that she'll make a loss" the truth is I care about a lot of people but random people in business dont matter. As for your problems Im in business to make a profit, not impress customers. It just so happens that customers are needed for a profit so thats why there are services in place for custermers and wth prices its all to do with inflation and the stock market but with laptops the price should come down as newer technology is made!

What you have said is true, but it is putting a large portion of our country out of the reach of things that are becoming more and more used. In some cases this ends up with theft to get things that are out of reach financially. In some cases the lack of opportunities to get the newer technology has left people with the lack of knowledge needed for many jobs. Most of the money is ending up in foreign countries anyway, a lot of the parts are being manufactured elsewhere. In the end we are paying large amounts amount of money that will supporting other countries and not putting it into American businesses.

Thats all for my rave.

That is so true! All cars, and other little pieces of super chip and ultimate system stuff are way too over priced! It's no wonder not many people buy anything except the really popular things, like iPods. I mean, get a life! Buy your fav CD and get a player! What is an iPod for except for music? Seriously,

Companies: Lower your prices on these, and quite so possible you will get many more sales!

But ALL the companies have high prices, and practically everybody has a mobile phone, and if mobile phones were all 100$ more expensive, vereybody would still have one. We just cannot control it.

every electronic thing, have a high proce for the first launch, isnt it?
then for me., I usually wait for about one year to buy electronics,
so the price already down for a usefull things.,

Yeah, but after a year, theres something new anyways and then you want something else six months later lol. Best to buy the electronics when they come out, and when the next thing that u want comes out, jump onto Trademe (or ebay) and sell your current electronic b4 it becomes worthless. Then use that o money ti to buy to next 1
