Gadgets for Dad or the Grad
Time flies and before you know it that little kid in diapers is graduating from school and it’s time to reward him or her with a gift. It’s also that time of the year to show Dad how much you appreciate everything he does for the family. Retrevo’s gadget experts have some great gift recommendations for today’s tech-savvy students and gadget loving Dads.
Laptops for Grads
Whether you’re sending your high school grad off to college or your college grad into the real world, a laptop computer is required gear. Today’s laptops are as much internet terminals and entertainment centers as they are portable typewriters. Good laptops will have lots of built-in wireless connectivity like WiFi, Bluetooth, and 3G along with multimedia capabilities like high resolution widescreen displays. They should offer all flavors of WiFi (802.11a,b,g, plus the latest super fast n), Bluetooth and in some cases 3G cards (or at least slots) to be used with cell phone carriers’ high speed internet access. A new generation of laptops just came on the market that incorporate the latest Intel chip code named Santa Rosa. Boasting a faster front side bus, longer battery life, support for the latest WiFi standard, 802.11n, and better graphics and video support. The Latitude D630 is the latest Santa Rosa based laptop from Dell. The D630 has a 14.1 inch display while the Latitude 830 has a larger 15.4 inch display. They cost between $ 1,000 and $ 2,000 fully configured.
On the Mac side, Apple just announced some new and improved Macbooks with faster processors and more memory. Unfortunately if you want one of the latest and greatest Santa Rosa-based notebooks you’ll have to stay in the Windows camp for now. The new Macbooks come in black or white and sell for around $ 1500.
GPS for Dads
Give any gadget loving Dad a GPS and he will immediately start collecting statistics from car trips like distance traveled or altitude attained. Today’s GPS devices are loaded with features and contain lots of information about points of interest. Many will receive real time traffic data and even play MP3 files. The Garmin Nuvi 360 weighs in at around 6 ounces, fits in your hand, is a full featured GPS, and even plays MP3 audio files for around $ 400. You can use the built in Bluetooth to turn it into a handsfree device to use along with your Bluetooth phone. If you want even more in a GPS than the highly rated 360, you can spend close to $ 700 for the Garmin Nuvi 660. You get a larger unit with a larger display along with Bluetooth technology.
MP3 players for Everybody
It’s hard to imagine any student not having at least one MP3 player but just in case you want to make a gift of one, here are some to make any kid the envy of all their friends.
The iPod shuffle is pretty cool but now there’s a new kid on the small and cheap MP3 player block. The Sansa Express holds as much as a shuffle and has a built in FM tuner and FM and voice recorders. You can expand the capacity with a micro SD card and the best news is that it only costs around $ 60. We suggest you also check out these other non-Apple players. You can get some important features that Apple left out of iPods like FM radio/recorder and voice recorder. You can also use some of the alternative (less expensive) music libraries like Napster and Rhapsody. Oh, you want to be able to use iTunes? Oh well, in that case you’re going to want to get an iPod and that would be a Shuffle, a Nano, or one of the big capacity ones. You’ll need to decide between the $ 240 30GB iPod video, the $ 340 80GB version, the $ 190 4GB Nano, the 8GB, $ 240 8GB Nano, or the $ 75 1GB Shuffle.
More Gift Ideas
Slingbox Pro
In case you haven’t heard about Slingbox, here’s the concept; take a signal from a TV source like your cable box put it into a Slingbox, connect the Slingbox to a wired or wireless network, run some software on your PC and voila, you can send whatever is on the TV to a remote computer or handheld device running the Slingbox Player. Say the big game is on the TV at home but Dad is sitting at the airport waiting for his flight. A Slingbox and a Windows Mobile device with WiFi or 3G will let Dad watch the game on his new Samsung Blackjack.
Nintendo’s Wii
Dads or Grads will jump for joy when you give them a brand new Wii game machine. It’s the wireless controller or Wii Remote that really sets it apart from the other consoles. Dad will love the tennis and golf games and the kid will spend way too much time playing adventure games and the best news is it only costs about $ 250.
The Perfect Digital Camera for Someone
Here’s a great little camera for anyone looking for a reasonably priced camera with all the latest features. The recently announced Nikon Coolpix S500 is a $ 250, full featured, point and shoot camera. The 7.1 MP camera incorporates optical image stabilization (carried over from Nikon SLRs), face detection, and an ISO rating of 2000 that should give you better pictures in all kinds of lighting conditions.

Concord, MA (PRWEB) February 19, 2008
Pricing blunders abound when the economy is down. The first response to the problem is price discounts. At the start, discounting seems to work, but over time, both revenue and profits decline. What’s a manager to do? Learn from best practices. Some companies get pricing right and others do it wrong. Introducing the Pricing with Confidence “Pricing Jeers and Cheers”, the finalists of the year’s most bone-headed and inspired pricing decisions. The list is compiled by Reed Holden and Mark Burton, authors of Pricing with Confidence: 10 Rules to Stop Leaving Money on the Table (John Wiley, 2008).
Jeers to Motorola
For allowing competitors with lower-priced phones to move ahead of the lead Motorola enjoyed with the Razor. To make matters worse, when Motorola fell behind in technology, it tried to buy market share by dropping prices on its high value phones. It didn’t work because Motorola phones weren’t cheap enough for the low value segment and it lost profits in the high value segments. A company which once commanded more than half of the handset market now enjoys less than 10 percent.
Cheers to Nokia
For its decision to offer phones at both the high- and low- price points. Nokia registered an 85 percent increase in net profits by being able to sell less expensive phones to tap the explosive India and China markets. At the same time, it offered fuller featured phones to go after the higher priced PDA segment. The result? Over a 40 percent global share of a very competitive market. Cheers to Nokia for knowing how to price for profits – even with low-margin phones.
Jeers to Dell
Dell used price discounting far too long in a declining market. It was clear to just about everyone that PC purchases were slowing in the primary markets of Europe, Asia, and the US. Since Dell has been slow to introduce dramatically lower priced products to go after the high growth markets in China, India, and Russia, it had to rely on its regular stable of products and markets for growth. Price wasn’t the way to get there and Dell found out after losing revenue share and profits. Their reactions of adding new products for growth have been a day late and a dollar short–many days and many dollars.
Cheers to Hewlett-Packard
For its strategy to leverage its strengths in distribution and retail instead of pouring all of its resources to go head-to-head with Dell. HP’s timing was perfect. It recognized that as PC buyers buy more notebook computers than desktops, they will want to touch the product before buying. The retail channel is the only place to do that. HP dropped its corporate advertising programs and poured those resources into channel programs. Prices are steady and revenue, profits and market share are up.
Jeers to United Airlines
For pricing policies that are alienating its most loyal business travelers. United yield management and price sensitivity studies, no doubt, show that a loyal group of customers will in the short-term pay more for a product. But if you overcharge your loyal customers by more than 100 percent without a corresponding increase in value, customers will desert in droves, which is what United will experience until it smartens up.
Cheers to Southwest Airlines
Unlike United, Southwest continues to focus on being an efficient airline that serves its customers with fair prices, on time departures and arrivals, and a reasonable box of snacks on each flight. Seats are roomy and comfortable. No assigned seats as yet, but customers who want to pay a little more can board first. The result? More business travelers are using Southwest. It’s no surprise that both revenues and profits are up.
Jeers to Oracle
Oracle is growing primarily through large acquisitions and aggressive price discounting. Several years ago, they acquired PeopleSoft. Oracle continues its growth through acquisitions of over thirty companies. The question is whether Oracle will be able to successfully integrate those companies and extract synergies. Preliminary results are promising, but the integration will need to speed up to really be successful. Our guess is that Oracle will continue to use price to close deals just like it had to report prior to acquiring PeopleSoft. Acquisitions can only plug the leak in profits and revenue so long.
Cheers to SAP
SAP, on the other hand, is choosing to grow “organically” by adding services that customers say they value. Yes, Oracle is also acquiring some companies, but they are generally small ones that are being bought for their skill sets rather than their revenue. SAP has consistently tried to leverage and grow its value proposition with existing customers. SAP currently holds a 21 percent share of the global market against Oracle’s 11 percent. This is a close game but we think that SAP is pulling ahead.
Jeers to Toyota
Toyota continues to have among the highest quality automobiles available. It has grown share with that quality. Yet we give them jeers for Toyota’s continued focus on price incentives to move inventory. That might be reasonable in a growing market, but in a downturn, all it does is reward price-buying by customers. That undermines the image of a quality product. To make matters worse, Toyota dealers continue to be lousy representatives of such a high quality company, placing among the worst in the industry. Toyota needs to begin flexing its muscle and put better standards in its price discounting and dealer networks.
Cheers to Ford Motor Company
For the first time in history, Ford has reacted to an economic downturn not by increasing dealer incentives and customer rebates but by reducing production to match the shrinking demand. The result? Ford is the only one of the Big Six carmakers that did not increase the use of price incentives. Yes, it is still losing money but the losses are peanuts compared to GM’s record losses.
