From the article: "'The price of components have come down more than 70 percent, especially flash memory for the shuffle,' he said. 'And the price of the shuffle hadn't changed, so they were making a ton of profit off the shuffle. So they're passing some of those savings on.'"

    My grocery store is asking $3 a pound for most of its apples. Now if Steve Jobs could only figure out how to make these cheaper!
