The price will NEVER come down, Apple just introduces newer models with different features to keep price and demand up.
Well I guess I'll never own one then. :(
And the problem with that is...?
Apple is a company competing in a capitalist environment. If their product is not wanted, it won't sell, and they will be forced to change or lose money.
As a company that is VERY healthy with huge reserves of cash turning a profit nearly every single quarter that rolls by, then someone must want their products. They are doing what a business SHOULD do.
A business does not supply goods to people because it is a nice thing to do, they do it because they want to make money.
Socialism does not work. Period.
As Eric Allie so eloquently illustrates in his cartoon:
LOL so you know a lot about the Shuffle and other intro iPod models. You might as welll quit while you're behind...
Curious, how many iPods do you own or have used?
