ROTFL! If somebody told that to me, straight in my face, I'd be physically rolling on the floor laughing. Having 4GB Nanos out of stock in basically the entire greater Los Angeles area and they're not selling well? LOL

"We believe iPod nano is a great product and evolutionary step combining the best elements of iPod shuffle, iPod mini, and iPod photo, but we believe Apple may need to make some changes to ensure its success as a high-volume product," Wu added.

The analyst speculates that the iPod maker may need to slash the price of the nano by $50 if sales continue to under-impress. "


w00t! i may be in for one if they make that cut

and look at it this way

2 gig PNY flash drive = 2 gig ipod nano

they're the same price but with the nano you get an MP3 player and picture viewer (just a little bit bigger)

i don't see how its overpriced

It's "overpriced" compared to other players. You're paying a premium for size, etc.

you're actually paying a premium for THE smallest high capacity flash player with a colour screen on the market Find me a single equivalent product?

More hyped up crap from Apple.

I do believe they have a good marketing department though. They are making the dough (good for them) but you would never catch me wasting money on an iProduct of any kind.

1/4? Sounds about right.

2 GB White
2 GB Black
4 GB White
4 GB Black

Everyone that is buying them seems to only be buying the last one. Mystery solved.

good point :beer:

I said a few months ago that they would make a Shuffle with a screen, and that's basically what they did. I'm going to go ahead and get one in the near future, but I can save a bit buying through my University.

Wondered how long before somebody said something about Apple.

It seems they have a bad habit of assuming every product they make is the best ever. They just attach a lower-case "I" to it and figure the new item will sell like mad and make them richer.
I wonder if they even bother with market analysis anymore.

My best buy sold out 30 minutes of receiving 30 of them.

Precisely. I'll stick with my MuVo TX FM until they can offer me something that's worth upgrading to.

Of the people I've seen with them, I've seen 3 4GB white ones and 1 2gb black. I don't think the 2gb models will ever sell well with only a $50 difference between the 2.

everyone who wants an ipod already has one. Why would they plunk down another $200 to buy the same old product in a smaller package?

Because that's what we do
