iPhone Price Down $200, New iPod's Introduced

Those who feel they were cheated, however, may find solace in one of the new or upgraded iPods that Apple also introduced this week, including the iPod touch and revamped iPod nano.
On a pace to sell one million iPhones by the end of the month, Apple ramped up the iPhone marketing machine a notch, lowering the price tag of its eight-gigabyte model from its introductory $599 to $399. The new price will be offered in the U.S. through Apple and AT&T retail and online stores.
For those itching to invest in another Apple music player, the company now offers an iPod with a touch user interface similar to the one found on the iPhone. The eight-millimeter (0.3-inch) thin iPod touch is the first iPod to include Wi-Fi wireless networking and supports use of the Apple Safari browser. The eight-gigabyte version is priced starting at $299; the 16-gigabyte version starts at $399. Both come with a 3.5-inch wide-screen display. Apple is now also offering the ability to access the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store over a Wi-Fi network directly from an iPod touch or iPhone.

Rival Microsoft is hoping to capitalize on the mixed reactions to Apple's news by cutting the price of its 30-gigabyte Zune digital music player by $50 to $199. While Microsoft has made no official announcement regarding the price cut, the move was reported on the Zune Insider blog written by Cesar Menendez, a Microsoft employee working on Zune.
