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."

    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.
