Struggling with sales, non-Apple tablet makers reportedly slashing prices

Having a tough time competing with the iPad and unable to move inventory, Apple’s contenders are expected to significantly reduce the prices of their tablets in the coming months, according to a report by DigiTimes.

Citing sources within the companies involved, the publication states that we can expect to see companies like Acer, Asus, HTC, Motorola, RIM, and Samsung follow the example of HP and start lowering their prices by the end of September. Even though the cheapest tablet among these makers is already priced at just a shade over $370, the average prices of these tablets is expected to fall to around $350 for the holiday quarter, with prices as low as $300 also being a possibility. thenextweb.com
