iPod $$$???
How many copies of 10.1 at $20.00 a pop have they sold since it came out. And now ladies and gentlemen, a "way-cool" device that only the rich and the famous will be able to enjoy. Come on - who we kidding here? What do I want to do with 1000 songs at $400.00. Sounds like my kid will get the CD Walkman for Christmas.
iPod $$$???
This being a firewire hard drive, it is in competition with stuff like:
This $349 mini 6GB portable FW HD
The iPod is significantly smaller and is also an MP3 player which is powered and charges from the FW port!
Seriously folks, this isnt a "steal" but the price is reasonable for what you get.
Re: iPod $$$???
No, it isn't steal. You do get a lot of value for the money spent.
iPod $$$???
Apple's timing couldn't be worse. WE ARE IN A RECESSION. Hell I've always suspected that the denzions of Cupertino were out of touch with the rest of the world....this proves it.
iPod $$$???
This is exactly what I think. Apple has always been too expensive... Steve still hasn't learned how to price an item. He's always a bit higher than high. (maybe in more ways than one).
The Cube, and now the iPod, are prefect examples of this. I would have purchased a cube, let's face it, they look cool... regardless of the fact that they don't run very well. But they are way too expensive for a machine that you cannot expand. The iPod's price should be $250 - $300 MAX!!! I would see that as still bit expensive, but I could shell it out, being the Apple loyalist that I am. I can see using the iPod as an external firewire drive... That would justify the spending... but $400! Come on Apple wake up... who is going to buy this thing?!?! The iMac philosophy was the correct philosophy... quality - cool looking - slightly higher priced than the other guys - and all in one - easy to use. The iPod has the same apeal, but the price... they are about a hundred dollars off the mark... which takes it from being the big XMas craze to another dead product line (like the cube). Imagine that... maybe we should change our motto... "PRICE DIFFERENT!!" //evildan™
iPod revisited
It's fascinating reading comments like this years later. Where people predicted, basically, that the iPod was way overpriced to the point that no one would really buy one. |
