I have not even come close to filling my current iPod. For now, I will pass.

8gig iPod Touch (with WiFi)- $299

So, the phone component is $300 ($200 now, I guess after seeing this $100 rebate thingy)? I can buy a wirelss phone for $20, why are cell phones so expensive? I know the parts are smaller, and have to reach a cell site much further away than a cordless base, but come on. The iPod touch has the transmitter and reciever parts for the WiFi already. And it probably has the same battery which can be expensive.

Is part of the cost going to the cell phone company for royalties to use their software?? Or are they pricing it at $299 (making little- to no profit) knowing most people wouln't spend much more (hell, I don't have an iPod because I can't afford it now- and I don't listen to music on headsets anyway. I never had a personal radio at all, and never will unless I use a base at work).

Actually, the iPhone had a $200 price drop to $399 - what most of the fuss is about (the people who paid $599 for it within the last two months). So the phone component is worth $100 - well within the realms of reasonableness considering that one is getting much more functionality than a $20 phone.

To further clarify: there is a $200 REFUND for anyone who purchased an iPhone within 14 days of the announced price drop and and there is a $100 Apple CREDIT for all other iPhone purchasers.

So then they are admitting that they were overcharging then? Or were they not selling well, and lowered the price? I have a hard time beliving they are able to manufacture them for $200 les already............

I will be attempting to sell my 60 gig classic video iPod on ebay and buy a nano. I was already going to buy a nano for the non-moving parts. I just held out a few days to buy the new one.
