Redfly now only $199
I’m not sure what this means for Celio but they now have the Redfly Smartphone Companion on sale for just $199. The Redfly is a mini-laptop that isn’t, with all processing power and connectivity coming from your Windows Mobile smartphone. See our video review of the Redfly to determine if you think it’s worth this new low price. I guess now Celio can say the Redfly is "cheaper than a netbook".

Now the Redfly should make sense to all those people who did not get it before.
If this translates into £100 on this side of the pond then I’ll order one now.
I “didn’t get it” before. I still won’t buy it. This is going the way of the Foleo.
heh, if i owned a winmob i would have ordered myself one on the spot ;)
btw, any idea if they will get it working with symbian or android any time soon?
This is more like it. If I traveled frequently, I’d pick one of these up.
Finally. This is looking good. It still doesn’t make any sense, especially since an eee pc is only slightly bigger in size (but more expensive I guess). But if I can find a used one for 150 on ebay I would probably buy one. Makes browsing the internet a bit easier too.
It def makes sense for me now. Around £110 and Duty free. Will def pick one up when I am going to US next week.
I feel sorry for those who purchased 2 months ago. This must be one of those products promoting too aggresively. Madness. $300 reduction since first launch.
now if they just release some iphone drivers, i’d buy one.
I found this on Amazon:
“Celio has found that a REDFLY device in the hands of media, developers or mobile enthusiasts has tremendous viral marketing benefit. Therefore, we have budgeted a limited amount* of REDFLY devices for placement at $199 until October 31, 2008.”
“*Offer subject to limited quantity. Limit 3 per customer. Program may end at any time.”
This reminds me of the Vulcan FlipStart firesale. Which is not a good sign…
