Gadgets that will be less expensive in 2012 can attribute those lower prices to the release of newer products, more affordable technology, product marketing campaigns and competitive developments in the gadget marketplace. All these changes, improvements, and events help retailers increase revenue because the lower price makes them more market accessible. Moreover, when gadgets such as high end computers price out consumers, more people can buy them after they are marked down. 1. E-readers and tablets E-readers such as the Nook Color used to be $249.00, but are now $199.00. Although this is due in part to the marketing and release of the Nook Tablet, this also reflects a broader market trend because additional tablets have been forecasted to lower in price during 2012 per CNN and USA Today. A 2012 price cut to the Sony Tablet also highlights this pattern of cheaper tablets and e-readers according to Tech Walls. 2. RAM memory RAM memory is getting cheaper according to PC Perspective. It can be used to upgrade computing capacity. By adding RAM the chances of having to use slower alternate information processing is avoided potentially improving the performance of an operating system. Memory has become cheaper over time and allows computer owners to update older computers instead of purchasing new ones. 3. Soda makers At home soda makers such as the Soda stream was a popular gift of 2011. However, prices have already dropped in 2012. Moreover, in 2011 Soda Streams retailed for well above $100.00, now they can be acquired for closer to $90.00. Additionally, analysts believe this was just a fad according to the Motley Fool. If this is the case, retailers may be encouraged to keep prices lower or lower the price on the gadgets further. 4. 3D Glasses In 2012 the price of expensive three dimensional glasses for 3D-televisions will drop according to Geek Tips. This is due to a product released by Toshiba called the FTP-AGO2G per Geek Tips. Moreover, these new glasses raise the bar on quality and cost which makes competition for even cheaper and better 3D-glasses a greater possibility. 5. Craft cutters Both new and earlier generation craft cutters have had price reductions in 2012. For example, craft cutting machines such as the Cricut have been marked down from $299.00 to $249.00 at some retailers such as AC Moore. Meanwhile, previous or outdated versions of the Cricut are cheaper than the new models according to Cricut. Similar patterns of lower price for previous generation products also affects gadgets across a broad range of industries and markets such as cell phones and computer operating systems.
