15GB iPod to Replace 10GB Low End?

Interesting

The 10 gig seemed like a good size for those with what based on previews polls seemed like the average music collection ... but i guess not ...

we'll see in a few hours

I was hoping for a complete revamp of the "big" iPods. My 1st Gen. 5 Gig doesn't have any more room. Maybe in a couple of months.

we need complete ipod revisions, brand new design smaller. instead of continuing to bump up the size, the size rite now is good.

This would kill 20GB sales, unless they upped the capasity of the other two models. I don't think this will happen exactly this way, but I trust Apple to make it right.

We will soon see!

i still wish that the low end came with all included accessories, i mean $300 dollers is a lot, at least for a student like me. I think that for $300 dollers deserves a dock and remote. I would have bought one new if this was the case.

Yeah, $100 extra for an extra 5 gigs and a dock isn't very compelling. Maybe 15/30/60! :)

hehe.. Nobody has announced a 60GB 1.8" hard drive yet. (The 40GB one was announced well before Apple started using it in an iPod.)

15/30/40 maybe, but then, again, you don't get much of an increase from mid to high.

And $100 extra for an extra 5 gigs and a dock had people buying 15s over 10s when the 3G iPods first came out. (10/15/30 was the split before they moved to 10/20/40.)

As for me, unless they revamp the existing models, I'm getting a 20GB model tomorrow at 11AM. (I won't buy anything smaller than 10GB, and I want a dock. If the long-rumored Video iPod comes out, I may consider it, but I'm still planning on the 20GB model.)

In the UK, the current 10 Gig is a bad buy. The prices are a lot closer between them than in the US.

Currently in the UK:

10 Gig - £230 (~$400)
20 Gig - £270 with dock, etc (~$450)
40 Gig - £400 (~$700)

From this, I've always thought the 20 Gig was by far the best value, as you get twice the space for about the price of the dock and remote, etc.

Before September, there were 10, 15 and 30 Gig models for the same prices. People still bought the 15 Gig then, so I don't see why the 10 can't be upgraded. It should have been at least reduced in price slightly at the last update IMO.

As for anyone saying 10 Gigs is about the right size, why complain if you get 15 Gigs for the price of 10?

Well, maybe you should work a lil bit more. High quality usually requires a high price.

Dock $39
Case $39
Remote $39

Okay, the 40 bucks for that case is a joke but the remote and dock are useful. Who wouldn't go for a 20 GB model? Unless, of course, that 100 bucks was really a big deal.
