Cheap Netbooks Inspire More Wireless Gadgets

Cheap Netbooks Inspire More Wireless Gadgets - Business Center - PC World: "Look out for a deluge of wireless devices, including netbooks, sold at heavily discounted rates by the wireless carriers, as the operators battle to win customers during the economic downturn.

AT&T Wireless confirmed last week it has been selling two netbooks from Dell Inc. and Acer Inc. for US$99 apiece after rebates, but customers must commit to a two-year data service contract for $60 a month.

An AT&T spokesman said the carrier eventually wants to sell all kinds of embedded wireless devices that will work over its networks, including e-book readers, wireless cameras and in-car navigation devices."
