News analysis: Price cuts tablet makers recently announced are nice. But the cuts are unlikely to increase sales of competing tablet models versus the Apple iPad 2. To gain ground against the iPad, competitors must find some way to offer a superior product. Price is vastly important in today’s technology industry. With the economy the way it is and a growing number of people thinking more about saving than spending, companies must determine the right price point that will induce consumers to buy their products. As of late, several tablet makers, including HP and Vizio, have made that abundantly clear. Vizio’s 8-inch tablet retails for $299, and HP was recently forced to drop the price of its TouchPad to $399 and $499 for the 16GB and 32GB models, respectively.
