The Grid 10 tablet is originally priced starting at $499 for the Wi-Fi only version while the 3G-capable slate got a retail price of $599. This time however, those located in the US and UK can get the tablet at $299 (£259) and $399 (£359) for the 16GB Wi-Fi only and Wi-Fi + 3G models, respectively. Pre-order is available here (US) and here (UK).
The price drop is obviously due to the tight competition against other tablet makers. And despite the Grid 10 tablet donning decent hardware specs on top of its unique Grid OS, Fusion Garage really has to do something strategically to win consumers and that could be by playing with the prices.
