Aaaaaaaaaaapple!

Apple held a press conference today to announce a revamping of their popular iPod music player. Tis' the Season!

Lot's of cool new iPods with cool new features to stuff into your holiday stockings. The iPod Nano has gotten smaller and a bit wider to accommodate it's new, bigger video screen. The iPod Classic has expanded it's storage space to 160GIGs. That's crazy! And it's still smaller than the original iPod we got way back when, it was 10GIGs!

Steve also announced the iPod Touch. It's an iPhone without the phone. It does everything the iPhone does except make calls, comes with wifi, built in browser, and a new wifi iTunes store that you can buy songs from directly from the iPod.

Our Beloved iPhone was not forgotten at this keynote. The iPhone will be getting the Wifi iTunes Store on the next software update, sweet. We'll also be getting custom ringtones that can be purchased (for an extra $1 beyond the song price... Boo) and then edited directly in iTunes.

Then Steve drops the big bomb.

The iPhone now costs $399
In two small months, the price of the iPhone has dropped by $200!!!!!!
*room begins to spin*
*pukes, passes out*

OK... I'm back. Yeah, that made me a little queazy. Sure, we just paid the full price for our phone 2 months ago. But we said all along that this was not a decision we made based on logic and reason, we are suckers for Apple crap. We paid for the privilege of having the phone the day it was released. Yes, I agree with you, stop yelling at me. However, Instead of shipping a whole new improved "version 2" of the iPhone, as many predicted, Apple has decided to simply bring the price down to a reasonable bracket.

This is because the phone is so freaking perfect. I know because I DON'T have the $200 to prove it.
