New iPODS Announced....
I know what I want for Christmas!!
What, you hadn't heard this was coming? Apple rolled out a lot of new stuff today. Welcome Apple fanboys and haters alike. Here's the gist of what's new with the iPod, iPhone, and iTunes, straight outta Apple!
Ringtones Come to iPhone - For an extra dollar you can turn 30 seconds from a song you buy from iTunes into a ringtone for your iPhone. Not every song, mind you, but about 10 percent of the iTunes catalog. Outrageous ripoff or brilliant marketing scheme? You be the judge.
iPod Shuffle Available in New Colors - $79 gets you 1GB of screenless music. Now in red, silver, blue, lighter blue, and greenish blue.
Redesigned iPod Nano - This is the device that was widely leaked last week. The new Nano is shorter and more squat, but with a larger display. A new UI shows you cover art and extras on the right side of the screen (you can get a sense of this in the pic to the right), but the operation of the Nano is largely the same, with the traditional scrollwheel where you expect it. Still the same capacities: 4GB ($149, silver only) and 8GB ($199, colors available).
iPod "Classic" Gets Tweaked - Now known as the "iPod Classic," the old hard-drive-based iPod gets upgraded to 80GB ($249) and 160GB ($349) models, and it's a bit thinner than previous models, too. The 30GB model is gone. Same UI as the Nano.
Introducing the iPod Touch - As everyone expected, a new iPod with the iPhone touchscreen interface arrives. It's the iPod Touch, basically an iPhone (almost exactly the same size) without the phone (see the pic above... looks exactly like the iPhone, only it's not). It's also the first iPod with Wi-Fi, which you can use to watch YouTube videos and browse the web. $299 (8GB) and $399 (16GB). (Wait, where's your 16GB iPod Nano?)
iTunes Goes Wi-Fi - Now you can give Steve Jobs more of your money, without even having to use a computer. iPod Touch and iPhone users can browse the full iTMS selection wirelessly and purchase music without a PC. No wireless sync from the looks of it.
iPhone Price Cut - 8GB model now $399. The 4GB iPhone? Dead!
clikc the link so u can see what they look like:

The iPod touch is 400$ for 16 gb's.
If anyone buys this they are just dumb.
I also heard iPhone has already dropped 200$ in price.

Yeah.....but you can't get visual voice mail. Also, I'm fairly sure you can still only get an official plan through AT&T.

The iPhone uses GSM technology, so you have to use it with another GSM network. Most new networks I know of are using CDMA. TMobile is a GSM network.

im sure Jobs thought about calling it the iTouch and then realized that there may be some uptight parents complaining that it wasnt a good image to send to the kids...
or that there may already be a sex toy called iTouch... whatever explanation you like better.

Hmmm...a sex toy called iTouch....sounds more like interactive porn for some reason....

Why is anyone surprised?
Apple does this all the time with its products, but not nearly as dramatically. The best time to get an Apple product isn't right when it comes out, but right after the first upgrade (usually 3-6 months after it comes out). At that point, the price is the same, but you get more for your money.
Also, don't most cellphones decrease in price after a few months? Remember how expensive the Razr was?
