jadam said:so have any of you who keeping on saying "1gb ipod for $99 is impossible" looked at the recent prices of flash memory

$69 for a 1gb SD card, and the company is making a profit off of that. What makes you think apple couldnt come out with a 1gb flash based iPod for $99?
If anything though, this iPod better have an SD slot so I can upgrade the memory on it!
Oh, I don't think $99 is impossible. I just think it is not Apple. They charge a premium price for their products, and $99 is not a premium price. I think I'm being overly optimistic at $129, for that matter.
More opinions:
There will be no expansion slot of any kind on the iPod micro. Want more storage? Buy a mini or an iPod. This device is all about carrying a couple hours of music is a small form factor. Great for exercising and whatnot.
Not only will you be able to sync it up on your Mac/PC, but you will also be able to dl a different playlist from your iPod or mini. This will be a new feature in the mini, and the secret feature hinted about back when the 4G iPod came out.
