If you remember back a few months I wrote an article (CLICK HERE) about the Celio Redfly which is basically an extension of your Mobile Device that clones your devices screen on a large 8″ screen (800×480), 8.3 inch 80 key QWERTY Keyboard, and Touchpad for easy interfacing with your mobile device. What I like about it is that with Browsers like Skyfire and Opera, surfing the web would be almost as good as using your laptop. But my only hang up has been the price. At $499.99 is was way over priced in my opinion for what is only at the end of the day, a “clone” laptop. What really hurts is the full Operating System Netbooks that you can get for the same or even  a little less money! Just a quick search turned this up on Amazon, (CLICK HERE)

The Netbooks come with 1.6GHz processor, 120 GB hard drives, and Windows operating systems! All that for the same amount of money. Celio obviously did not count on this when they were developing the Redfly. That is why Celio has cut the price of the Redfly by $100.00 to $399.95. I still don’t think that $399.95 is low enough to catch consumers attention though.

I still am a fan of the Celio Redfly, don’t get me wrong. I would love to own one of these, but the value for the money is still not close. Let us know what you think and how much you would pay (retail) for the Redfly!
