The price drop will definately be the push many needed to buy the iPhone. I have a 4GB iPhone myself (provided by my company) and as a business user I have many frustrations with it. I

It is hands down the greatest handset in the market with all its features but depending on your area the phone itself can be extremely frustrating. I lose more calls than ever and most people often complain they can’t hear what I’m saying.

Anyway, Apple continues to prove that they know how to please consumers by offering a wide variety of products catering to a variety of user needs.

This included new colors for the iPod shuffle, a redesigned Nano, the renaming of the old iPod, and the introduction of a new touchscreen Wi-Fi–enabled iPod. Also announced were iPhone price cuts, an iTunes wireless store, and a partnership with Starbucks. [...]

A 160GB iPod that only holds 40 hours of music! Because it only plays 92-bit, 48kHz uncompressed music.

160GB/7 hours of video = 23GB/hour. Because only 1920×1280 video compressed with the Apple Animation codec is supported.

That’s got to be the fastest depreciation I’ve ever seen, even with Macs.

I know I’d be ticked…

And I agree with Scott, $400 for 16GB is insulting. I’ll wait for 2 months and see if the price goes down.

I believe that these are times for the battery life, not the music capacity. 160GB will give you a lot more than 40 hours of music!
