Apple needs to push through a million units. While their stuck stumbled a little upon this price-adjustments, they would have tanked if Apple didn't make its numbers. You’re right, Taylor.

Also, no one was buying the half storage one (4GB) so they eliminated that. The stock tumbled on a day that also introduced the new ipods. Not a really good sign.

I absolutely agree...when we purchase tech, we are freely choosing to pony up the $$ for the satisfaction of having the goddie right then and there. Regardless of future prices. I could see Apple's credit applicable if they somehow had deceived loyal users, nevertheless, Apple hyped this baby and consumers swallowed the bait whole. Lesson to learn: Delay just a bit of the infantile instant gratification so prevalent in our culture and such patience might just "pay" off (pun intended). Otherwise, quit yer bitchin!!
