Looking to rebound from its unsuccessful foray into tablet computing with its 5-inch Streak, Dell Inc. is selling a 3G/4G-capable model of the 16GB Streak with two months of free service on T-Mobile on QVC at a price point of $319.  “The QVC deal, which is being made available online ahead of TV, beats Dell’s own price and is competitive with others found on the Web.  The offer includes free, standard shipping and the QVC’s “easy pay” plan of five monthly payments of $63.80 each plus tax.  The prices above reflect the product page on QVC’s website; the source article in TabTimes linked below mentions a price of $299.  In any event, as of this morning the product is not available through QVC.

Get ready for a slew of Tablet deals on “Black Friday.”  TabTimes  Nov. 11. 2011

A Sony representative opines about the value of the bedside real estate its Dream Machine, model 8FC-59 commanded in the years after its 1968 release.  But clock radios fell from favor in the 80s and 90s — only to get a boost from MP3/iPod player connectivity.  Now manufacturers hope that internet-capable clock radios will boost sales yet again.  The Chumby, DreamScreen and Dash are three of the offerings from major manufacturers in recent years that enable the Facebook-obcessed to check for status updates the moment they wake up.  Of course, there is a threat to this clock radio renaissance — the smartphone.  The New York Times Jun. 9, 2010
