  11. @superste53 I really don't think you could replace a laptop with this, unless all you do is email & internet. Internet is free on your own WiFi. Outside the house 3G costs different depending on your country and data plan.

    apart from a huge difference in hard drive/ memory is there much else different?
    whats the internet like on this also, do you have to pay? if so how much

  15. 1. How much would you pay for a single issue of a magazine? If it was just to browse through, it would need to be $2 or $3. Subscription magazines are competing against free web content so it has to be cheap!
    2. How much would you pay for an annual subscription of a magazine?
    be happy to pay $20-25 for an annual sub.
    3. How much extra would you pay ADDITIONALLY for an optimized edition?
    Would need to see it first - need to evaluate the type of content before deciding definitively.

  19. 1. I would prefer to pay no more that $1.99 per issue. Or the regular subscription price instead of the regular cover price.
    2. I would expect to save 25% to 30% over the regular annual subscription price.
    3. I would pay up to 50% more for an optimized edition.

    ReplyDelete
  20. 1. I would expect to pay 20-35% less than the printed cover price.
    2. I would expect to pay 20-30 dollars for an annual subscription of a magazine.
    3. I would pay an extra 2$ for an optimized edition.

    1- I would pay up to $1.99 for one issue. Although at $0.99 I would buy more.
    2- I would pay up to $9.99 for an annual subscription. Although at $4.99 I would buy more.
    3- I probably would not pay additional for the extra stuff.
