Yowza! What a deal…

You may not have ever visited www.woot.com (w00t is an internet-ism which originally was the victory cry “we owned other team”, but has morphed a bit into a general purpose triumphant exclamation).

If you haven’t check out this deal.

If you’ve followed the blog, you know we look at evidence of the transformation of internet computing in a lot of different areas.

$5.99 for 2GB of data (in a memory card format)? That’s pretty darn amazing from our perspective, not just because it is a deal, but as a sign to come. When storage is this cheap at the consumer level, it is orders of magnitude less expensive in other applications…that brings down all sorts of costs affected by storage prices.

Perhaps the pricing behind the latest iPhone is a sign of things to come? Device price drops…service prices go up. It will be an interesting issue to watch, that’s for sure.
