pata2001 Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Err, today, probably yes thanks to Sandisk and Creative Zen Vision:M. That is also due to Apple always have the iPods prices fixed, only varying slightly from retailers to retailers. however, consider when the nano or 5G was released. The nano brings new low for flashmemory based DAPs. At that time, 1GB DAPs are around $200, while the nano brought the capacity up to 2GB. Same thing with the 5G. $300 gave you video playback and 30GB, while others are still stuck with 20GB. Now, all the competitors experienced price drops, that's the reason why iPods look more expensive. Wait till Apple release the 10GB flash based iPod, and we'll see. The reason of Apple's stock going down are probably because of analysts blabbing about the next Apple iPod, the issue with China fatories, and delayed agreement with movie industry for selling movies at iTMS. So yeah, it would be expected if some stock holders are loosing confidence with Apple. That's the nature of stock market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinko Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Losing steam could be the least of Apple's problems.The Frenchies gave final approval to the iTunes/iPod break up law:http://www.techspot.com/news/22079-french-...es-content.htmlAnd you know what happens in Europe, right? One country does it first, then everyone else follows. Will Apple close its French store? Other countries are reportedly looking at imitating the French. Or will Apple give in and open iTunes DRM to others? Or make the iPoo WMA compatible?Or keep things as they are and sell WMA tracks on iTunes?Shakespearean dilemma.
