While many analysts and customers were expecting the new iPods to be announced and released this evening during the Special Event, the US Apple Store has been updated during the night, and prices of all iPod models dramatically decreased. The 32 GB iPod nano is 129 USD cheaper, while the price of the default entry level model is 40 USD lower: 8 GB for 129 USD and 16 GB for 149 USD. The iPod Classic now cost 229 USD.
This price cut might change the way the iPod offer will evolve, and one can expect the new model featuring an integrated camera to become high-end products. It could also indicate that the main subject of today's event might well be the availability of the Beatles' album collection on iTunes.
