Fusion Garage Grid10 gets a 200 USD price drop, launch date pushed back to October 1

It seems these days if you are a tablet manufacturer other than Apple, the only way to get your device noticed and start flying off the shelves is to give ridiculous discounts on the price.

After the HP TouchPad fire sale a few weeks back, Fusion Garage, who were planning on announcing their Android-based Grid 10 tablet this month has decided that their original $499 and $599 price tags for the Wi-Fi and the Wi-Fi + 3G model was perhaps a bit too ambitious. Fearing they may have another JooJoo on their hands, they have announced a rather generous price-drop.

$299 makes the 10-inch, 16GB Android tablet with Tegra 2 processor.Unfortunately, the launch date of the device has been pushed back by a couple of weeks, and it will now be coming out on October,1.
