People will simply refuse to pay the same cost per ad showing. Therefore, the cost of the ad showings should reduce if the purchase rate goes down .. if it doesn't - people won't use their service.  You should be able to invest the same amount of money, your ad will be displayed more often, and ultimately you will get the same amount of return.<br><br>I think there'll be demand for more intelligent demographic based targetted ad showing, that way google can earn even more money. These laptops aren't going to be used by totally broke people after all.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Johan S]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 5th 2007 10:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on OLPC expected to dip to $50 by 2009, get WiMAX someday]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/05/olpc-expected-to-dip-to-50-by-2009-get-wimax-someday/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/05/olpc-expected-to-dip-to-50-by-2009-get-wimax-someday/</guid><description><![CDATA[The OLPC is a bit of a joke, as was the Foleo, to start. I have to be honest, I would buy one to put in my kitchen, where I wouldn't buy an internet-enabled device. I would spend $100 to have in different parts of my home -- I have a wireless router. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Burgemolisher]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 23rd 2007 12:09PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
