With Apple's media event mere hours away, there are a ton of rumors flying as to what the announcements will include. Of course, the iPod range is expected to get a revamp, as it customary with every September in the world of Apple, though it's unclear what else will happen. Regardless of what happens, the Cupertino-based company is already preparing, as Gizmodo reported, through the form of cutting current device prices.The price drops have happened in the United States Apple Store, as you can see here, though some have noticed cuts in other regions too. We've included a run-down of the drops below:
- 8GB iPod touch: $229 cut to $189
- 16GB iPod touch: $299 cut to $249
- 32GB iPod touch: $399 cut to $279
- 8GB iPod nano: $129
- 16GB iPod nano: $149
- iPod classic: $249 cut to $229
Shuffles are fine if you just want to listen to a single playlist in a random order, for instance if you've got a playlist of your favorite tunes and want to listen to them in the gym.
Yeah, the last generation is terrible for sure. I have the generation before that, and love it. I realize what it's intended purpose is, and it does that well. But they dropped the ball on the last generation. I mean, nobody wants to hear me requesting a song at the library, or on the bus...
8GB -> 16GB $60
16GB -> 32GB $30
Steve says thank you.
actually I would care. Now that USAA mobile has the ability to deposit checks on iphone/ipod touch, it'd be worth it. All I have to do is take a photo of the check and it deposits to my account right away...one step closer to easy from what they had before, scanning checks...
How in the world would they validate the check is not fake?
Zune was trying to undercut the Touch price significantly and Apple responds. I love hotly contested battles.
Will probably go with the Zune myself though

Pretty obvious the price cuts are in preparation for the new iPod Touches being released today. LOL that Apple is worred about any Zune product.
And it is good that you are not running Apple because it is the attitude of "competitors we need not worry about" that squash long running business successes.

That is true. I tend to wait until release dates to make purchases, even if it is for last gen products.
Anything with a battery could potentially catch fire in your pocket. I bet your odds of being killed in a car crash are higher.
Yeah, i just tried to see what my NHS Discount price will be and saw it offline. Any news on Zune HD UK release? If it's not out by Christmas i guess i'll have to go with the iPod (although i don't want to).
For example my local walmart still has the Xbox 360 for $299, even after a price drop.

If you bring in a legitimate advert that shows XBox 360 at a lower price, Walmart should match the price. I believe that is their policy.
