Looks like the consumers is about to get some good deals for a change with the possibility of a pricing war being whispered. Needham Research analyst Charlie Wolf is saying Apple can afford to drop the price of the Apple iPhone 3G to just $99.00 if necessary.
If Apple were to drop the price of the Apple iPhone 3G, the high price structure of RIM and their BlackBerry Bold at $299.99 and their new BlackBerry Storm, the lowering of the Apple iPhone 3G’s price would hurt them some.
As for the latest smartphone out there, the Google Android T-Mobile G1, well if rumour is correct, they have no qualms whatsoever in dropping the price down to $148.88 for such big names as Wal-Mart.
