Raising price on the Jetbook Color?
Just got a promotional email, basically saying the following (after some cutting):
Buy now, save when buying from our new Las Vegas dealer; Quote:
You think they'd ramp up the price? I was hoping to get it at $399! |

Yep. We all paid that. They raised the price before they started taking orders.

I paid £380 (including delivery) here in the UK which surprisingly is roughly the equivalent of $500 plus VAT (sales tax). Normally I'd expect to see $500 = £500.

I thought the British pound was like 2USD, or '1.something' EUR?
Anyway,I surely hope they would not increase the price, because that would work in my disadvantage. I'm waiting for the black version to become available. |

That is what I am doing to. For now what they have is not very convincing. The fact that the price is high is also sending me toward M92. I will have to buy a second 10" eInk anyway so that second one might be a color one if JBC does not disappoint on March 1st or April 1st

That is just a marketing trick to rush the buyers in now!
My feeling is that the sales are not getting the expected steam |
