Limited Run of 4GB iPod Nanos?


Engadget publishes photos of what appears to be a 4GB iPod Nano available at a Dutch retailer for 119. Additional photos have been posted to OneMoreThing.nl.

When Apple announced the new iPod Nanos they announced 8GB and 16GB models. The 4GB model is reportedly a limited run and no further inventory will be available. One report claims that originally 4GB models were planned and that this stock simply represents the limited number had already been produced.

According to two separate tipsters (with two sets of photos) Apple has released a third version of the new multi-hued iPod nano to the world -- a 4GB model. As there's been no announcement from the company, and there was certainly no mention of it at the 'Let's Rock' event, this is quite a head-scratcher. According to sources (and a Dutch retailer's site), the models are available in all nine colors and are priced at €119 (or about $168) -- though there seems to be some debate as to whether these lower capacity versions are limited editions or simply an incredible gaffe on Apple's part.


There is also an image of a pink one


I think this is cool, but why would they bother? I mean 4gb is pretty small these days, and the price difference isn't that big. Maybe they're just getting rid of all the left over 4gb flash they had lying around :D

Multi-hued? Sounds interesting. But why wouldn't Apple just announce it on the 9th event?

I'd be happy to have one of those. I guess they are quite rare.

I'd like one of these, just as a collector's item.

I'm glad that they didn't do 4gb ones. 8gb is a nice starting point.

what's kinda weird is price point. 4GB iPod nano 119 Euros = 169 USD --> and the new 8GB iPod nano is 149 !??!

i think its a misprint of the price, if so i would guess it should be 99 USD. that would be so cooool! :)

however, this may well be a some graphic designer photoshoping the image to 4GB :p

what say?

No, the Dutch site has 4GB for € 119,00 and 8GB for € 139,00. I believe the EURO has an exchange rate around .71 to USD which may be different with US bank problems today.

I felt Apple was going to lower Nanos to $99 for 4GB, but that didn't materialize. However it seems they might have had that concept in mind and rescinded the order.

I thought they would want iPTs starting at $199 to get more people into Apps. Too bad. My suspicion is that the price of materials is still too expensive to accommodate that price structuring.
