Gary Ankney of EduPalm.org has written in with another update on the CLIE NX70V and NX60.

We reported earlier that Sony had lowered the price of the NX70V by $100; the plot thickens. When you enter Sony’s site (at http://www.sonystyle.com) and select handhelds/PDAs from the menu, you see the NX70V at the old, higher price. Choose to view any model or series and select the option to “compare now” (next to the “add to cart” button on most screens). There you will see the NX70V listed twice: PEGNX70VKIT2 at $600 and PEGNX70VKIT1 at $500. The difference? For the extra $100 you get a “free” 64MB memory stick. Both versions come with a leather case and free shipping.

Could it be that the NX70V isn’t being dropped yet, just repackaged? Maybe, but Sony claims the memory stick deal is for a limited time.

The trick with “compare now” will also let you find the NX60, which doesn’t show up on many of the other menus (other models have suffered similar fates just before being dropped).

I don’t include addresses of these pages; Sony shifts addresses within SonyStyle frequently.
