[QUOTE="Emrys, post: 3896, member: 2"] I agree schweb. The iPod is WAY overpriced. They are aiming for their "upper-class" clientelle, which is wrong. They should be aiming a little more to the middle-class / younger crowd. I don't know many 16 year olds that can afford a $400 "walkman", but I could probably find a million that would use one. And the way the job market/economy is now, I don't know many families that are willing to part with that kinda dough for a "kids toy". I was thinking VERY hard about getting the 15 gigger. But $400? That is a lot. If it was $300, like schweb thinks it should be, I would have bought it without a thought. I even searched the net for like 2 hours to find THIS (outdated link removed), which will allow me to hook an iPod up to my stock car stereo. So now, I am looking at another $50 on top of the iPod to get it work where I want it. Which obviously is MY issue, but I still gotta consider that into the price. Apple, lower the price and you will see these things fly off the shelf. [/QUOTE]
