CES 2009: Coby Does Have Netbooks

Posted by | 01/09/2009 | 2 Comments

Coby, Coby, Coby. Well, it doesn’t ring like that famous Cary Grant line but the exasperation is the same. First we hear that Coby is going to be marketing a sub $200 Netbook. Then we get a strong denial. Then here at CES 2009, Coby pops out a display of Netbooks. But catch this, according to this report from Engadget the rep at the Coby booth says that this is a ““market research project.” Hmmm? At under $200 a pop? Not sure there’s lots of room in those profit margins for a lot of ““market research.”
