He said "failed in brown" not just "failed". What were the sales numbers of the original Zune? I don't believe they were all that good. I never would have considered a brown Zune although I do like the looks and colors of the newer models and I would consider Zune for my next player.

Just one iPod user opinion.]]>Aug 7th 2008 6:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/I like this new version... shiny... good idea for this new Acer Aspire One... ooops, Asus EEE... :-)

however, 699usd is not cheap... these new netbooks aren't as those of some months ago... now they're larger (in dimensions) and much more expensive... imho in the next months we'll have a newer family of netbook... uh, we need a new name for those... found! "notebooks"!! ;D]]>Sep 14th 2008 4:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/]]>Aug 7th 2008 7:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/

I like brown.

Oh, and orange is pretty cool too...]]>Aug 7th 2008 12:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/Aug 8th 2008 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/
....but the brown just kills it]]>Aug 7th 2008 3:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/Aug 11th 2008 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/
I hate being screwed over in this country...]]>Aug 7th 2008 4:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/
What if the dollar suddenly increase in value becoming more powerful than the pound? Would that mean that the Americans would be screwed? No. All manufacturers follow a price setting model set several decades back and never change their prices because of changes in currency.]]>Aug 7th 2008 5:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/
Finally, someone realises that the dollar is being devalued daily.

Won't it be amazing when the economy implodes and brings us in the UK along with it.

Damn criminal Federal Reserve with their fiat currency.]]>Aug 7th 2008 5:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/
I see your point, but ASUS (and most electronic manufacturers) are still getting more money for the same production costs by charging more in the UK, irrespective of the cost of living

if they can sell at $699 in the US and make a profit, then they should sell at the exchange rate across the world]]>Aug 7th 2008 5:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/
The dollar id not being devalued, it's depreciating. There's a big difference. But your point is valid nonetheless, it's all about the PPP (Purchasing Power Parity, for those of you who weren't lucky enough to do economics in high school).]]>Aug 7th 2008 5:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/
Everywhere i've seen the 901 it's £299 (the RRP) or less. I got my 1000H for £349 but you can get that for less in other places (the extra few bob was worth not having to wait for delivery as I picked it up 5 minutes away from home).

]]>Aug 7th 2008 7:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/
Besides that Asus is a Taiwan company and the Dollar has dropped against almost every single currency on the planet. And with Asus returning all overseas profits to Taiwan they are actually making less money on their sales in the US then what they are in the home country or Europe. In that sense, Asus should really increase their prices int he US so that they at the current exchange rate matches the price of their products in Taiwan.

You guys need to understand that economics are much more complex to keep changing price structures because of one single country. The ones benefiting from all of this are American companies selling products overseas. ]]>Aug 7th 2008 7:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/

The UK does get ripped off in general but mainly by american companies, like M$, Apple etc, the GBP has been up on the US dollar since the birth of the tech age and still we get a price in GBP that is the same as US dollars even though US dollars are worth roughly half of a GBP]]>Aug 7th 2008 8:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/Aug 7th 2008 9:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/07/asus-eee-pc-ultimate-s101-revealed-and-its-brown/
