iPod Best Buy Clearing out 20-60 4g's

[Idioteque]

If you head to the best buy homepage, they have droped the prices on their 4g ipods.


249.00= 20 gig
349.00= 60 gig

Looks like they are gearing up for the video's which I was told will be hitting their shelves this week.

this is very good, as the people who dont want video will be able to still get a fully capable ipod for a great price. good stuff!

too bad fior the people who want video tho

That's a good tip... also good for people who would rather have Firewire, or don't have USB 2.0.

And for those of us in the UK MicroAnvika is getting rid of theirs.

Wait, wait, wait.

Are you sure that the new iPods don't even have support for Firewire? If so, what is your source?

 

[chucknorris]

Well, I'll be damned. I just checked Apple's iPod page under tech specs, and there certainly isn't FireWire connectivity anymore.

WHY? Not that it matters too much for me (I've got USB 2.0)...but why is Apple trying to kill it's own standard?

does anyone have an idea when best buy is going to have the 5gs in store? I have a few gift cards I want to use...

 

[BurtonCCC]

The Apple Education store sells the 5G iPods for $269 and $369... I'd rather just pay $20 more and have the video capability and slimmer size...

The Nano doesn't support Firewire. Read somewhere (Here probably) that most user iPod owners are PC owners. That's why Apple phased out the iPod Firewire support.
