The iPod Shuffle got cut from $79 to $49. Then the Apple Store went down. Will the rest of Apple's iPod line also recieve some price cuts? Flash prices are cheaper - so it makes sense. Stay tuned!
Update: For now, only Shuffles are getting price cuts. 1Gb Shuffle, $49, new 2Gb Shuffle $69.

That would kind of suck if they dropped the prices of the Touch and Phone, I mean they just released the larger GB sizes two weeks ago with no price cuts...

Well, that's technology for you mate. If you waited until prices dropped to buy stuff then you'd never buy anything.

Please stop complaining of
Please stop complaining of price drops. If you can accept the fact that technology is moving at an ever accelerating pace and that price drops can occur at anytime (days, weeks, or months), maybe you shouldn't buy these types of products.
Hmmm.... so that's Apple
Hmmm.... so that's Apple still making at least one product announcement every single week in 2008 (so far) - bodes well for the rest of the year!

The largest capacity iPod
The largest capacity iPod nano has been 8Gb for almost 18 months now. I am slightly surprised they haven't given us a 16Gb model by now. (Yes, I suspect that the 3rd generation model maxed out at 8Gb so the 16Gb touch had larger capacity, but now that there is a 32Gb touch that surely no longer applies.
everyone knows that the
everyone knows that the ipods shouldnt cost as much as they do but the prices will stay up as long as people are willing to pay for the name ipod
