There are some speculations that today will bring a 3G iPhone, but most of the speculation is that Apple will bring us a new iPod. The shorter, wider iPod we’ve all seen the rumored photos of. I personally believe this to be the case since there have been leaked case photos for the same look as the rumored photos. Anyhow, Apple’s event today has Microsoft pulling punches. Microsoft is apparently dropping the price of the Zune.

“Some of you may have already heard, but tomorrow we’re dropping the suggested retail price for Zune to $199.  It’s part of the normal product lifecycle, something we’ve had on the books for months.  We just got some research back and customer satisfaction with the 30GB device is really high (around 94%) and we expect even more consumers will now want to discover the Zune experience at the new lower price.”

I am excited to get a quality 30g player for only 2 bills, but how convenient is this announcement? :)
