Cheaper iPods at MWSF 2004?
The traditionally satirical site reports that they have a "strong feeling that a modestly-featured and modestly-priced new entry-level iPod is indeed in the offing", and seem to think that MacWorld Expo may be the launching point for the new iPod.
Steve Jobs has previously stated that they are constantly trying to lower the cost of iPod and one unconfirmed rumor pointed to a cheaper 5GB iPod to be released in November... but never came to be.
While AppleTurns denies being a rumor site, they do make the occasional foray into the rumor sandbox, and has been known to be correct on occasion.

I think the tremendous brand awareness Apple has with the iPod can overcome the race for bigger internal drives that the other players use for differentiation.
but i don't think the difference between 10 GB and 5 GB would justify a 150 USD price difference. But, 199 would be realistic...
"Let's face it, most of the people willing to shell out at least $299 for a portable music player probably already have one..."
yep! I already have a 40GB iPod, but for me to fork out more for presents would kill me ;) If this is true - pretty much inevitable when the "elite" market's been satuated - they will need to move down and try to fight the Flash-based players out there - I could see companies such as Creative going out of business when this happens...
