No great holiday computer sales

I was pretty disappointed with the lack of good computer sales for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Prices for computer have been pretty low since mid-summer, but I was hoping to see some 2GB RAM laptops under $450 and desktops with 2GB of RAM for less than that. Maybe we will see some lower prices before Christmas Eve.

Adam didn't post any outstanding deals on digital cameras either, so I'm assuming that the camera market was equally as flat as PC's.

Large, widescreen monitors did surprise me with some low prices, however. One 22" widescreen LCD monitor was advertised for $149, and I also saw a 19" for around $100. On the other hand, Palm is still selling their nearly four year old Palm E2 for a ridiculous $199. How they can justify this price when they just announced the Palm Centro (a Palm AND phone with 10X the functionality and power than the E2) for $99 is beyond me.

Overall, it looks like a dismal tech shopping season to me.

Did you find any great tech deals over the weekend that I didn't see? Let me know by leaving a comment below.

If this helped, consider buying me a beer or an Americano!

Using A Big Screen TV As A Computer Monitor

Our large LCD HDTV has an input that's compatible with a PC. What are the issues involved in using a PC as a media player. Do any PCs have wireless remote control capability?
