SSD-based 8.9" netbooks seeing sharp price drops

From Digitimes -

Per industry reports, netbook vendors are dropping prices of their 8.9" netbooks to clear inventory, and SSD-based models are seeing the sharpest drops because of lower demands. The decrease in demand is due to the increase in hard drive capacity from 80GB to 160GB, in addition to the higher cost of SSDs.

The 8GB SSD 8.9" Acer Aspire One has dropped to NT$6,999 (US$202.27) in the Taiwan market, while the 7-inch Asus Eee PC now costs around NT$6,500-7,500 and the 20GB SSD 8.9" Asus Eee PC is around NT$8,999.
