Did he?

Well, people are still paying an additional $100 then…

Die-hard Apple fanboys probably don’t give a darn anyways

I think the main reason for the drop is because of the release of the Ipod Touch.. and that they dont want people thinking they are charging people $200 for just phoning capabilities!

thats just my 2 cents

Read an interesting post speculating on the same topic yesterday…
“How could apple launch a media player with only 16GB? They priced it at 399 USD - the same price as the iPhone (which had a price drop). The only difference seems to be the drive size. I suspect that the strategy here is to actually boost sales of the iPhone - why get an iPod when you can get an iPhone for the same price?”

I must say, that does make sense from a marketing standpoint. And I imagine more than a few people will be taken in with this tactic, though I can’t altogether say it’s unfair; I see no harm in Apple refining the market they defined. Link to full article below:
