Mik 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2007 It ended up being a fake story about an iPhone nano. It got picked up by a major financial website (I forget which). They later had to issue an apology, since it had a small effect on Apple's stock something might come of it lawsuit wise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AntiLeaf33 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2007 525,000 units sold this weekend. Which is a remarkable number. Figures. Apple didn't train anywhere near enough agents to support it; they're throwing people from other depts into half-assed training sessions and instituting mandatory overtime. They'll be taking calls on it July 4th, too. Fuck this company. Oh, its not just Apple that does that. I won't say who I work for, but my job sure is Comcastic Especially when you work for Convergys.

AntiLeaf33 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2007 A 300 page bill, eh? I really don't see that being practical at all. Or if they are going to get into detail that great, they should give you an option of getting an expanded or condensed bill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ripper 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2007 Thats not quote half you know. It went from 600 dollars to 400 dollars, although that is a pretty good price drop. Still too much though. And they are no longer not selling the 4 gig model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
k thx 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2007 I heard it went down to $300. Either way, good value. BTW, it seems as though the iPod touch will do much of the same stuff (minus the phone calls of course) for a similar price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted September 5, 2007 The iPod Touch is essentially an overblown, overpriced iPod with 1/10th of the storage of what's now being called "the classic". They have it for at least $50-100 more expensive than the 80GB and 160GB "classics" and it comes only in 8GB and 16GB. The good news to all this, is that I'm very, very glad I waited so long to finally get one, since I was originally going to get the $250 one when it was 30GB, and now it's 80GB, so that would be perfect. The 160GB is tempting, but that is a LOT of space, and I don't think I want to use my iPod for anything other than music. 80GB is more than enough, and at $250, it's a bargain. I'm going to have to buy this before Apple realizes what an idiotic error in pricing they made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ripper 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2007 I have no idea why they would release the ipod touch. it kinda is pointing out that the Iphone is basically a ipod with a phone in it and not the change the world technical marvel that it was supposed to be. Why in gods name would someone pay 350 for that thing when you can get the Iphone for 50 bucks more? Sure, its locked into the ATT network but comeon. Its only a matter of time before that gets cracked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
k thx 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2007 It's probably for everybody who said they'd want an iPhone if it wasn't locked to a mobile network. I'd be interested if there's a price plan for wi-fi access. My current phone can make calls, and it's less likely to get nicked at night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ripper 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2007 But its not a iphone anymore. Why the hell would you want a ipod that has a touch screen with less storage? OOOOOOHHHHH you can touch stuff. For 50 bucks more you can get wifi and internet access. they have already figured out how to use the phone without the sim card, so just use that. Only dumb people or people that didn't look into it would get the ipod touch honestly. that thing should be 299 tops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ripper 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2007 I just saw another story that put the pricing of it at 299$ for the 8 gb verion of the ipod touch so that is a decent deal I guess. Still not much space, but you do get wifi, so pretty decent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2007 The 160gb iPod for $349 is unbelievable. I mean, that's seriously awesome. Even I couldn't fill that thing up. If I hadn't bought a really nice case for my two-year-old one at the beginning of this year, I'd be upgrading. Disappointed that there was no new news about Leopard. I'm terrified it's going to destroy my 4G Powerbook. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It'll probably get a bunch of other apps too in the future. Storage space does kinda suck though. I'm loving the insane bitching and moaning about Apple dropping the iPhone price by 33% from the people who already bought them. Come on folks, if $200 is a big deal for you then you shouldn't be spending $600 ON A FUCKING CELL PHONE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
k thx 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2007 I'm in the market for a new iPod (or similar) after my last one died. I'll have to decide whther I want 160GB storage (which I'd fill easily with movies and photos), or the iPhone (unlimited data access and built in phone) or the touch (does away with the phone but double the storage), and rotate music on the last two. The iPhone hasn't had a date or price plan announced for the UK yet, so I'll have to keep waiting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
