They obviously did that to be jerks and try to hurt the Zune HD. How can anyone think it is just coincidence that the price of the 32 GB iPod Touch just happened to become $10 less than the Zune HD?

Overpriced POS. Looks like the price of the ZuneHD is scrambling those ppl at Cupertino to slash their profit.

That's exactly what I was thinking. At least this means that competition is alive and well - maybe MS will drop the 32GB by $20, to compensate.

(not that they really need to. The ZuneHD, going on what we know so far, is probably going to be a better device for the money).

that is my guess as well...clearing out the stores for the next generation ipod touch...which probably means that the newes generation will be more expensive than the Zune HD.

what i don't get is how the 32GB is $10 cheaper yet the 16GB is $30 more than the Zune HD...pricing doesn't make any sence.

first off they aren't releasing any new touches this year, they are rumored to bring HD video to the iphone 3GS (which has been proven to play HD videos on the screen) but not output it


and the real reason they dropped the price is because people might of wanted a and the real reason they dropped the price is because people might of wanted a ipod touch or a nano but it was too expensive ,so if they went to bestbuy and saw them side by side they would take the zune HD w/o or the zune nano hesitation but now that they are at an "equal" price its a tough decision for costumers to make.

Apple likes to discount their products when new models are/will be announced.

The 32 GB iPod Touch is not selling for $279, it's selling for $299.

From today's Apple event:

Yeah, the website has $299 as the price also. No 16 GB model on the website either, maybe they got rid of it? I didn't follow along with the event or anything, so I'm not sure. I just checked the website.

Looks like Engadget was wrong, at least so far. Not sure where they got that screenshot from.

I'm still reading up on the specs on the new Touch. I don't see a camera, which was a rumor.

EDIT: iPod Shuffle has been changed (no surprise there - the last one was a piece of crappola).

... Yahoo is already commenting on the new prices of the iPod Touch - Apple sets stage for music event with iPod price cuts : Ben Patterson : Yahoo! Tech - stating that the $279.99 price "slightly undercuts the new Zune."

Would've been nice if the guy got his facts straight before he goes and announces it to the world, seeing as how the Zune HD will still "slightly undercut" the iPod Touch come Sept. 15 when it comes to price.

This guy is a total Applefanboy. I'm not surprised he lied about the prices. The 32gig touch is going for 299. I bet he won't even admit to his mistake either.

At first I thought you were calling me an Applefanboy haha. Then I realized you were talking about the author of the story. But yeah, wouldn't be surprised if he didn't admit it either. At least the users are taking care of things in the comments section.
