iPod touch Iphone $299 for 16 gig, Ipod touch still $399?

[Dale Sorel]

Just curious, where did you find that pricing as I can't seem to find anything online relating to a contract free iPhone.

Never-mind, I found said prices.

The Touch is not a one-time fee. $20 for iphone apps. Another $10 for the ability to buy more apps and a scientific calc I won't use. 99 cents additional for every song you have on it, or at least that's what they are worth.

No, an iPod Touch is not a one-time fee.

Those upgrades are optional.

99 cents for every song you put on it? I don't know about you, but I already have a library of hundreds of CDs that I purchased. I'm certainly not paying per song.

Even so, a $10 software upgrade every 6 months is hardly comparable to the iPhone prices.

I mean, look at the now updated iPhone price. AT&T removed txt from the iPhone data plan.

So you're basically paying $69.99 + $5 for 200 SMS. $74.99. Plus taxes and fees, you're looking at a minimum of $80 a month to use the iPhone.

A regular cellphone with a txt and airtime data plan plus an iPod touch will end up costing you far less than the iPhone.

The best reason an iPod Touch should come down in price is that it will be competing with 1st gen iPhones that were deserted when their owners upgrades to the new iPhone. Look for 1st gen iPhones on ebay for $199 or less on July 11th. No monthly fee. An iPod with a camera, speaker, and mic.

I 100% that is what will happen and that why the price should drop no other reason. I am to scared at this point to get a 32gb touch. The price may come down, higher capacity may be round the corner or a new model. I for one will get an ex contract iphone for a lot less.

Not true. The iphone will still be a hot commodity even after iphone 3g comes out.

We'll see. Every gen 1 iphone is a used and outdated one. Only idiots pay new price for a used car. Only the 3G iPhones will be a hot commodity, except for used gen 1 iPhones that are being sold for $199 or less by those who upgraded.

If I had a 2G iphone and wanted a 3G when they came out, I'd pay $199 for the 3G and make my $199 back by selling my 2G without phone service for $199 to someone wanting a Touchscreen iPod with camera, mic, and speaker.

The 1st gen is not outdated. 2.0 is comming and will be on both iphones so how is it outdated. A lot of 1st gen owners will hold on to them for varius reasons. The only difference between the 2 is the gps and 3g of the new iphone. Some dont care about either, 3g is not nation wide etc.
