Pegasos sales restarting : Comment 76 of 156 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Don Cox on 29-Jan-2004 14:58 GMT | In reply to Comment 70 (Christophe Decanini): "The problem for this low end market is that you have to produce a huge volume of units (so taking huge investment risks) to get real low margins/profit."
Yes. Sony could possibly do it, or some other mass producer such as Samsung.
"Of course there is the problem of the OS. To offer a good browsing experience, several applications, mem protected system, etc at a low price (free software) I think that you have to go the linux / bsd route."
I suppose MorphOS is "free" for Genesi, but it lacks a complete browser. Linux is indeed the answer.
"At this point it looks that the more featured solution at high price is preffered. If for example selling 10 guardian systems makes as much profit as selling 1000 pegasos light I can not blame Genesi to start with the high end."
IMO the approach of selling a CHRP board for industrial applications is the best bet - I think Genesi are going the right way.
Selling as a minority desktop computer will only be possible when the applications are somewhere near the range available for the Mac. Otherwise, why would anyone prefer an Amiga or Pegasos to a Mac? (Apart from the small band of existing and returning Amiga users).
Long hard slog ahead. |
