No they don't... you're probably referring to RAM chips, the OP is referring to SD cards with the iPhone, iPod and iPod Touch models.

Granted you can get a Card Reader to plug into the computer models, but that's as useful as putting a triggle block into a star hole.]]>Nov 26th 2009 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/apples-black-friday-deals-hit-australia-site-same-as-it-ever-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/26/apples-black-friday-deals-hit-australia-site-same-as-it-ever-w/Or you could use the SD card slot on the side of the machine.

Apple should really feel embarassed about these "savings". It's a joke and to be quite frank, it's making the consumer look stupid if you actually buy into it. Christmas savings (especially black friday savings), is about saving more then $150 dollars. This is pretty much student based discounts, just substituted for black friday.

But this is very typic apple propoganda. When they compare speeds by their own products, by saying "Oh, it's 2.5x faster.....it's 1.5 times faster....it's 2 times faster." pointing out insignificant numbers to make it look like they have something incredible to report with numbers. They do the same here...

An original iMac price is $1,599.99, now if they were to put that next to their "bargain price" of $1,467.00 looks totally insignificant, so they have to put the $132 "saving" in red because your eyes will immediately see $1599.99 and $132.

I really hate Apple's business practices and their own smug approach with how to sell and market things. I'm not ripping on their OS or Hardware, because I use it at work, and it's great to use. But their business practices are as terrible as Sony's.

Sorry for the rant, Happy Holidays.
