Chalk this up to poor sales, or thoughtful execs looking to save the consumer a few bucks (I’ll take poor sales)… The HTC Magic and HTC Dream have dropped in price yet again on Rogers (NYSE: RCI). Currently both device will run you $79.99 on a 3-year term. I suppose this could also be a

Now this is what we like to see Canada!. After Rogers had dropped the price of the HTC Magic and HTC Dream down to $99.99, they're at it again! Rogers just recently dropped the price AGAIN to an even more affordable $79.99 (with 3 year contract). We're hoping the price drop is a sign that newer Android devices are coming (HTC Hero anyone?) and not indicative of poor sales. At $79....
