MSFT and iFruit Announcements

The former Big Two of the tech world, MSFT and the iFruit company both announced new products this week that they hope will be big money makers for them. Both of the announcements are new and innovative, they are just incremental “upgrades” to existing products.

The iFruit company announced a new version of the iPad with 128GB of storage and a starting price of $799. There are no other changes to the latest version of the iPad, it just has more storage. If you’re one of the legion of Fan Boyz and Gurlz who love iStuff then maybe you’ll be willing to shell out big bucks for one.

MSFT announced the latest incarnation of Office with heavy emphasis on “the cloud”. There is a slew of various price options but MSFT clearly hopes everyone subscribes to the online version for $9.99 a month. To MSFT, if selling a product once is good, selling every month is even better! Personally I’ll stick with Google Docs, which is what I’m using to write this post right now.
