Not really. That's why I mentioned laser printers. Inkjet, I agree
with you. I don't see anything like those dynamics working in the
laser printer area.

Perhaps, perhaps not. But if you look at some of the SOHO laser
printers and look at the pagecount/$ of those cartridges vs the business
line of laser printers, there is often a difference.
Worse, the numbers are even harder to compare because of RET, %
coverage, draft vs normal defaults which are different in different
printers.

Re: Why no Sim Cards for CDMA
I can see something like R-IUM cards come into play one day.
I can also see a card in a CDMA phone that will hold your ringtones, games, photos ect. Also contain all the things that a SIM card does (All in one card).The best provider gives you a plan with the minutes you need at the right price. The coverage that you need to make calls all the time.
