Here's my general recollection. Those with better memories are welcome to correct me.
I started looking in July of 2009. Most devices cost about $250.
This time last year Sony offered at new model at $199. Astak introduced its Pocket Pro at $199 which included a cover and ear buds.
The Aluratek Libre went for about $170. For Thanksgiving weekend, Newegg dropped the price to $135.
The jetBook Lite went for $150. For the middle week of December, Newegg dropped the price to $117.
Not only can we expect devices to go on sale for Christmas, but we may still learn of new models to be introduced for Christmas. If you can wait a couple of months, your selection will probably be wider.
