Fujitsu puts the kibosh on possible sale to Western Digital

Posted in: business, deal, hard drive, HardDrive, industry, storage, Today's Chili

It seemed nearly imminent that Fujitsu would be selling off its hard disk division to rival Western Digital, but apparently something has gone awry. According to Fujitsu President Kuniaki Nozoe, there is currently “zero chance” of a deal being done, though he did confess that the two had sat down and contemplated changing their statuses to “it’s complicated.” Unfortunately, that’s about all we have to go on for the moment, especially when you consider that WD’s take on the whole ordeal is a concise “no comment.” Who knows, maybe this is just cold feet or something, or maybe Fujitsu simply realized that it was better off saving itself for the one.

iriver’s 8GB E100 PMP cleared out for $59

Posted in: deal, PMP, sale, Today's Chili, walmart

The E100 was a little weak for the iriver name, but at $59 for 8GB of PMP deliciousness, it’s hard to resist. Walmart is clearing out the black iteration for $40 off the original price, and while we’d hate to presume and be wrong, we’re hoping this is just a sign that iriver’s gonna go all out at CES ’09. Bring the heat, baby.

AT&T letting go of 8GB refurb iPhone 3Gs for $99 on contract

Posted in: Apple, att, deal, iPhone, iphone 3g, Iphone3g, sale, Today's Chili

Ha, you or someone you love just paid full retail for an iPhone 3G a few days ago, didn’t you? We’ve always heard that the best deals come after Christmas, but people just never learn. All smack talk aside, those who didn’t get a new cellie under the tree, but did acquire a Benjamin or so courtesy of cash-stuffed holiday cards, can certainly score a big deal today. AT&T is now offering the 8GB iPhone 3G in refurbished form for just $99 with a two-year agreement, while the 16GB refurb is $199 on contract in either black or white. Call us crazy, but we don’t foresee these hanging around in stock for too awfully long.

[Thanks, Brenson]
