A remarkable cut off in android tablet prices

Its not the first when non-Apple tablets are slashing down their rates in the market.RIM is probably the most recent extreme example of tablet price deflation as it cut down its rate by 300$.

But now the second most popular Android tablets are experiencing price cuts right after SONY, wield off its ax on the tablets price reducing the end user cost by 100$. The 16GB Tablet S is now $400, reduced from $500, while the 32GB model got cut to $500 from $600. If you are interested in buying out the same then here you can have the brief specifications of Sony tablets : 
  • 9.4-inch 1280x800 display
  • Front and rear cameras
  • Android Honeycomb
  • 1GB system memory
  • Eight hours of rated battery life. 
Good news is Sony is not the only one cutting down the android tablets price in recent history. Other popular companies including Lenovo, Acer, Toshiba and Asus have already reduced their popular android tablet prices significantly soon after their release.

There is no doubt the motive behind these price cutting is to boost up their sales and this is probably the reason why it has become a trend among popular tablet manufacturers. Now the most important question is, are these slash-downs good enough to trigger significant consumer demand for these tablets? I guess tablet manufacturers could answer this better.
