Windows Phone Thoughts: REDFLY Mobile Companion for $199

"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."

Now this is more like it. Remember the Redfly? It's a wireless smartphone terminal with a large screen and full keyboard with no OS, no CPU, and no storage. The Redfly wirelessly attaches to your smartphone and lets you read and write email, read attachments, view web sites, and use applications that reside on your smartphone. It is normally priced at around $500.00 which I thought was a bit expensive considering I purchased my 20 gig Asus EEE for $349 with an 8.9" screen. But I have to admit for $199 the Redfly is an attractive option for those who want to turn their PDA into more of a laptop. Do any of you use the Redfly? If so, do you like it? If you're in the market to buy one, do it by October 31st.
