New iPhone >> New Touch?

[[werdna]]

Do you think they will have a new touch or just a price drop?
I'm hoping for either, but that white is sexayyyyyy!

well i dont understand how somebody is gonna want to buy an ipod touch when they can get an iphone for 100 bucks less+GPS+3G+CELLPHONE CAPABILITIES. i remember seeing somewhere that the 8gb ipod touch cost apple 150 bucks to make. and they are gonna have to make it at least 150 bucks to make people wanna buy it. so either they are gonna find new parts so they can charge ALOT less or they are gonna make a new one. my money is on a new one.

Well the iTouch has its own place i dont think everyone wants a cellphone yes i agree that aple will find it hard to sell the itouch with the iphone at 200$ but then u do have a recurring cost with the iphone.

yeah but than again if you jailbreak it than you wont even have to sign a contract and you can even disable 3g, gps and cellphone capabilities. so basically if you really wanted to you could get the iphone and use it only as an ipod touch and still get 200 bucks off. but i really wouldnt disable all those features. in israel we dont have contracts like you do in america so anyways i would use it as a cellphone (i wouldnt use the 3g cuz its pretty expensive in israel)

the only reason i could think of is if you dont live in one of the 70 countries and you (for some reason) dont wanna jailbreak

Apple will most likely make a new touch and sell it for $200. Remember, the iPhone is only $200 if you pay the outragous prices for the bills.

yeah its looking like you have to sign a contract with ATT to get the iphone. so now i can deffinetly understand why people will want the itouch

i think the price drop is because they'll get the money back by having people paying every month for the 3G and cellphone service... i just checked Telcel (Mexico's company with iPhone) and the 3G service is expensive =S

Well we know there's going to be the 2.0 firmware coming out for the iPod Touch and it will cost 10$ to upgrade. My guess is there will be a price drop for the iPod Touch.

according to this, the 8GB ipod touch costs apple about 150 bucks to make. so the price cut cant go less than 200. even then a 50 dollar profit is nothing. so i say they cut it to 250. even though 250 is a price apple wouldnt usually charge. they usually cut prices by the hundreds.
