It's an apple product. There is ALWAYS a premium.

So true. They are geniuses I swear. They take old technology, wait a couple years, implement it into their devices and then sell it for mucho grande bucks. And people EAT. IT. UP. Its ridiculous! lol

I'm still going to hope against hope that they don't charge too much more than what they cost now though. I mean, just tack on an extra $30 or something, no reason to go "its an entirely new device so lets empty their wallets!". I hate when companies do that. They make one small addition and then treat it as if its a totally new product, as if adding a camera is going to make it cost SO much more to manufacture. sigh. /rant

In other news... did anyone else notice that the Kindle FINALLY lowered their price! Its now $300! ...sigh... still too much though. I feel bad kind of. I complain and complain about no price cuts, then they finally do and its still not enough. Its not really their fault either I guess. :shrugs: what you gonna do I guess.

For Apple, image and marketing is everything for them. Literally. Sort of reminds me how a company advertising a freeware alternative to Apple's iTune on the side of their store (paid advertising) suddenly got taken down when the Apple conference was in town.

btw, a good marketer can take s*** and sell it to someone like it's gold.
