Apple Releases Basic iPod Touch, Possibly Foreshadowing iPhone Strategy

Posted by samzenpus on from the new-and-simple dept.

redletterdave writes "While the new 16 GB iPod Touch released Thursday features the same 4-inch Retina display and dual-core A5 processor as its other variants, the newest, cheapest iPod Touch lacks a rear camera and comes in just two colors black and silver. Apple is reportedly pursuing a similar strategy with the iPhone, as reports from the past several months have pointed to development of a 'low-cost iPhone' with basic features to be sold at a lower price point."

    Sorry, but no matter what they do with their money they will keep losing market share if they keep making stupid decisions. If they will wake up in time remains to be seem.

  2. What I want in a portable music player by Nyder · · Score: 1, Troll

    The ability to play 24bit/96khz flac recordings.

    Don't need video, don't need a fucking camera.

    How about a e-ink display that doesn't drink the power from the batteries?

    with about 200gb of space.

    Try to keep it under $200 please.
