apple's prices are always high because they want them high! They do not care about customers they care about money only!!!]]>Sep 9th 2009 5:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/
I just found the word a little too dramatic, if I may say. :)

I saw that word and I thought that the price of the 32GB was @ $100, you know what I mean.]]>Sep 9th 2009 5:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/Sep 9th 2009 5:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/Sep 9th 2009 5:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/"Now what could Apple be making room for?"..

Who would get an older ipod over the newer and cheaper ipod touch?
I think all other retailers will follow apple move so they had till the end of this month to get rid of the older ipod before the newer one arrive

Why do the poor always say things are "overpriced" rather than say "I'm underpaid?" People walk into Porsche and Mercedes Benz dealers and never utter that word "overpriced". They always feel they're getting what they pay for.]]>Sep 9th 2009 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/Sep 9th 2009 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/Sep 9th 2009 10:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/Sep 9th 2009 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/
Sony lowers the price on the PS3, Microsoft follows suit a week later. The Engadget article talks about Microsoft lowering costs as a direct response to the Sony price cut (even though MS officials said that the price cut was a long time coming).

Flash forward to today. MS has the much hyped and very well reviewed Zune HD set for release. Apple decides to uncharacteristically (as other posters have pointed out) slash their pricing on the Touch to fall in line with the Zune HD. Yet, not one word of speculation on the part of the Engadget writers that this price cut might in part be driven by the competition that the Zune HD presents.

When Microsoft does anything it is viewed as being done because Microsoft is reacting to the market (external pressure). When Apple is mentioned you are always left with the impression that Apple does whatever the heck they want. They are impervious to market conditions. One company is a leader, the other the follower.]]>Sep 9th 2009 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/
You know I keep hearing this thing about comparing computers to cars. I'm a car enthusiast, I love all kinds of cars, but in order to compare to anything, one REALLY needs to know the compnents to a car. Computers, for instance, be a mac or pc, both use the same processor, Intel Core 2 Duo. However, even the cars in which you name Porsche and Mercedes, both have different motors to offer. It varies even greatly with, say a toyota camry.Therefore, a mac IS NOT a luxury computer. In fact, it's more comparable to say a toyota camry with a 3.5 v-6 engine is a pc, while a toyota camry with a 3.5 v-6 engine with gps is a mac. For a mac to qualify AS luxury, it needs to have a better performing processor. But even then, It's really hard to compare cars to computers. I'm keeping it as simplistic as possible.]]>Sep 9th 2009 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/Sep 9th 2009 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/Sep 9th 2009 7:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/Sep 9th 2009 5:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/Sep 9th 2009 5:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/

iTunes really does blow. It drives me crazy because the iPod Touch is such a nice device, yet I have to put up with iTunes at my computer in order to use it. If I could just use my iPod with Windows Media Player, I would dump iTunes immediately. No joke. I'm sick of it. ]]>Sep 9th 2009 10:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/
This is an entirely different way from what I was expecting for the iPod Touch to take on the Zune HD. It still seems like it's not enough and seems that Apple, like everyone else, was a bit blindsided by the 'HD. What the Touch really needed to compete directly with it was to have the new ones(yes, I know they aren't out, but do you really think they'll be priced anywhere near the older generation ones?) be priced similarly. As is, it's looking like we can expect new iPod Touches at about the same price-points the 2nd gens were at until just now, making them substantially more expensive than the equivalent Zune HD. Basically: this doesn't bode well and Apple better have a damn good ace up its sleeve to pull this one off.]]>Sep 9th 2009 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/279 is pretty dramatic, isnt it]]>Sep 9th 2009 5:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/Sep 9th 2009 5:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/Sep 9th 2009 5:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/Sep 9th 2009 5:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/Sep 9th 2009 5:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/Sep 9th 2009 7:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/ipod-touch-prices-dramatically-slashed/
