Hints at iPod Touch Price Drop?
Apple's Dutch iTunes store is running an ad that shows the iPod touch, starting at only 199 euro. This represents a 80 euro difference from the official price of the iPod touch which starts at 279 euro. Yooph.nl speculates that this could be a premature leak akin to Swiss Apple Store Airport Express specs. Indeed, none of the other iPods in the same store start at 199 euro, making it less likely to be a simple substitution error.
To further add to this being a true leak, we had heard rumors that both the iPod Touch and iPhone would be seeing US $100 price drops in the coming months -- though, those rumors also suggested Apple would the eliminate of the 8GB model, which is still listed in the ad.
The iPod Touch currently costs US $299 for 8GB, US $399 for 16GB and US $499 for 32GB.

This would be great. We can all use more for less money. Then again this maybe to keep the factories going during a bad economy or it could be clearing the inventory for the next model with 802.11n and maybe (cross fingers) 3G.

Bring on the price drops Apple... the economy is struggling enough as it is! Gas prices are soaring... and having a $80-100 price drop from the Touch to the iPhone will be welcomed with open arms! So let's hope this rumor is not a rumor... :rolleyes:

Apple makes so much money on the iphone service contract and itunes that you would think that they would start offering $200 with a 2 year contract soon. I know they get full price now and a 2 year contract so why would they change? The more phones Apple sells the more people will download songs,movies, and apps.
There will come a day when you will see an iPhone for free or $99 with a 2 year contract.
