There’s finally official news from Plastic Logic that the rumored $299 price, as Forbes and Times Online had stated, is incorrect. The actual email itself says that there have been some reports that implied Plastic Logic had announced their price, but Plastic Logic has not announced pricing for the product and does not plan to until launch in January 2010. They plan to be competitive in the eReader category, where prices now range from $199 to $800. But they won’t be at the low end of the market. That’s because Plastic Logic is providing business professionals with some of the industry’s most advanced technologies, including large plastic screen, ultra-thin and lightweight form factor that offers users a digital reading experience unlike any other.
The confusion over $299 probably occurred because by saying ‘competitive price’ Plastic Logic meant ‘competitive with current eReaders, such as the Kindle DX’. Most people made the mistake of assuming they meant the Kindle 2 and Sony 600.
Since the lower end is excluded, we can rule out $199 and $299. Their re-emphasis that the PL eReader is focused on business professionals is pretty telling.
Based on current trends it seems that:
- Kindle DX 2 perhaps comes in at around $400 to $450 early next year
- The subsidized Apple iNetbook comes in at around $300-$400 in September or October ($800 without contract)
- The 9″ Sony Reader 900 comes in at either $399 or $449 just before Christmas
