New iPod Mini!!!

[Clark Gilbert]

I was watching TechTV yesterday, and they were talking about the new iPods. Something they mentioned that I thought was interesting is that they will keep the price @ $249 for the first 6-8 months (maybe less), so that the hardcore iPod people will buy one, or the people who just think they have to have it. Then they will drop the price.

Also they are trying to steal competition from people who are used to buying MP3 players such as the 256mb Rios or Samsung Yepps that are $200. They think that by making it $50 more people will be attracted to the design, 16 times the amount of songs, etc. I guess they are thinking they will overlook the bigger iPods.

...or when they come out with something bigger (yet, probably smaller) & better.
