I got a press release from Amazon.com this morning that says they're dramatically lowering prices on some of their most wished for gifts, including the 16GB iPod Touch. How do you show invisible speakers [1] on a video podcast? The Tux Droid [2] is a wireless communications penguin for Linux lovers. Our cellphones are demanding their own beanbag chairs [3], and Chris Pirillo [4] points us to someone's
Christmas light display [5] that we can control over the Web. Dec 05, 2007 22:07

Amazon Customers Set Gift Expectations High This Holiday Season

Leading Online Retailer Responds by Discounting High-Quality, High-Demand Products
SEATTLE --(Business Wire)-- Dec. 5, 2007 At the halfway point of this year's holiday shopping season, results show that Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) customers have high expectations for gifts and are
seeking primarily high-quality, brand-name items. In response, Amazon.com is discounting many of the site's most desired products, offering customers great value for their shopping dollar.

According to Amazon's Most Wished For items (products that appear most frequently on customer Wish Lists), customers are seeking consumer electronics, toys, kitchenware, and watches from high-quality, well-known brands. Across all categories offered on Amazon.com, customers are using product ratings and customer reviews to determine the highest-quality items that fit their shopping budget.

"It is no coincidence that the Most Wished For items on Amazon.com also happen to be very high-quality items," said Craig Berman, Amazon.com spokesperson. "Customers want products that are stylish,
durable and perform exceptionally well, and we are pleased to offer many of these popular and desirable products at greatly discounted prices as we head into our busiest time of the year."

The Most Wished For list is available at:
