Cheaper iPods at MWSF 2004?

AppleTurns posted an interesting tidbit today...

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.
