Apple Slashes iPod Prices Prior to Media Event

[Beric]

LOL... You wouldn't really do that would you? Especially considering the fact that the website says "We'll be back soon..."

Well, I wouldn't have ordered a Macbook from the Apple store in the first place. CA sales tax.

Lulz. Are you serious? Let's see now, Microsoft is set to release the Zune HD, and on the eve of that launch, Apple takes a huge chunk out of the prices of it's iPods to, coincidentally, put them in line almost exactly with said MS player's price point. Hmmmm? Coincidence? Maybe Apple is just doing it to salute you, the paying customer because "uncle Steve" really loves you. Or maybe the Zune's much lower price is putting "pressure" on Apple to stay competitive? I dunno.

And how how about the laptop prices. Microsoft runs an ad campaign that continually takes potshots at the high prices of Apple offerings, and whatdyaknow, Apple slashes the prices on all it's laptops. Pure coincidence? Or maybe Apple did it in response to "pressure" from Microsoft's ads. You guys should all be kissing Microsoft's feet, seriously. If not for the quality of their products (which admittedly, can be less than stellar), then for the fact they've put "pressure" (there's that word again) on Apple to lower the prices on some of their own products. Now if only MS would come out with something targeting the MacPro.

While one could assume thats the reason, it's easier to assume that prices have been lowered across the board since we are in the middle of what's called a rescission....while Apple has still made a killing during this time, they obviously know you can only sell a premium product at a premium price during a time when people are cutting back on their expenses.

LOL by your logic the Apple Airport Extreme will also be lowered to $120 dollars since almost all other wireless routers are available for under that price point.

This event is huge for Apple..

With the Zune HD and Zii Egg coming out to compete with the touch, Apple better not screw this up.

Hoax

Guessing now this was a hoax since the prices were just announced by steve and aren't even close.
Looks like 3.1 and the new iTunes are the biggest announcement of the day.
I'll keep waiting for a camera in the Touch.
Camera in the Nano....Baaaah!
