NYT offers $100 rebate off Samsung Go for first time subscribers
With the inevitable fall of print media eminent, newspaper companies are treading water and figuring out how to still keep customers and make the money they once did.
New York Times is offering a deal to first time subscribers until March 2010. In the deal, new subscribers to the Times Reader 2.0 will get $100 of a new Samsung Go netbook. The netbook will come preloaded with the Times Reader Adobe Air-based application which will push content from the newspaper company to subscribers laptops. The machine will be sold exclusively through J&R Music and Computer World.
As for the cost of subscription, its pegged at $179.40 for one year, so you’re not exactly saving here unless you were going to buy a netbook and subscribe to NYT before.
But its nice to see a newspaper taking a bold step to stay in business instead of crying for bailout funds.
