Apple Launches 1 GB nano, Slashes shuffle 207

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday February 07, 2006 @02:38PM from the new-toys-for-you-sota-freaks dept.

minus_273 writes "Apple has has released a new nano and also slashed prices on the iPod shuffle. The lowest end iPod now goes for $69. The 1 GB shuffle is $99 and the 1 GB nano is $149." From the article: "'The price of components have come down more than 70 percent, especially flash memory for the shuffle,' he said. 'And the price of the shuffle hadn't changed, so they were making a ton of profit off the shuffle. So they're passing some of those savings on.'"

I thought that was only economic utopia, not reachable in the real world.

Ptah, passing savings on to customers? as if!

In that case, good sir, can I interest you in an iBlindfold? Or would you prefer to stay holed up in your mother's basement?

Maybe you should have read the part that said not to be used while swimming, wrestling, or playing rugby.

Get a Video instead. My old 5gig died recently, and that gave me the excuse to upgrade. I fucking LOVE this thing. I want it inside me. I'm busy getting all my brother in law's Futurama and Family Guy DVD's ripped to it, and I'll have plenty of room to spare. The battery lasted over 21 hours when I plugged the headphones in and left it shuffling all day. Impressive.

Just like clockwork! When they got rid of the iPod Minis it was just after my wife purchased a refreshed one, so she took her receipt back and got a price adjustment. Cha-ching! Wouldn't you know it she has just purchased a refreshed iPod Shuffle! This time she's taking it back and getting a 1-gig nano. We're cheap,but not that cheap.

Im sure the person who gave you the present would tell you not to feel inferior, that size isn't everything... just work on your, um, 'deleting' and 'squeezing' skills...

Something like this was done in Finland relating to the DMCA-like amendments that went into the copyright law at the start of this year. The Minister of Culture, who is a the main figurehead for the new law, was given an MP3 player and an encrypted music CD for Christmas. She was told to get busy ripping the CD before while it was still legal.

Insightful?

Only because there's no moderation for "Obvious".
