So glad I waited it out on getting a new iPod. I like the line up, but they really should have had a 160 GB touch iPod option. Nobody is going to buy the classic iPod, it will be fazed out in the next six months. Even with better storage capacity, nobody wants the body of an old iPod. The touch is the equivalent of the iPod Photo, in that Apple will drop the touch name and make it replace the classic iPod for good.
Good point. I totally agree. I have a first gen. MBP that I am still very happy with, even though Apple made a double-layer dvd burner and FW800 standard just months later on the 15".
Well, I sure as hell wouldn't buy any of their new products now, considering they'll lower the price 33% in 2 months. Especially if they sell well. What the f kind of thinking is that?
And yes, we knew they'd drop the price... when the next phone came out. More features, lower price. That's sort of the norm with tech gear. And maybe a small reduction in price after 6 months or a year of good sales to pay for R&D. 2 months of sales? It's bad PR, and fixing that bad PR with refunds will be good PR. Well worth the cost, especially if they refund with Apple store cash.
The only time I can recall Apple doing ANYTHING like this (dropping a price so quickly) was Aperture. And I was quite impressed with how they handled it.
