New iPod prices have already begun going up at Apple’s website, basically as predicted and bringing the prices more or less in line with the Zune HD.

Assuming the 8G Touch will be dropped (unless they keep it at a very low price, say 99 bucks, without upgrading it to the new generation), that means the 16G Touch will sell for $249, just thirty dollars more than the Zune HD 16G and the 32G Touch will sell for $279, ten dollars LESS than the Zune HD 32G. It is pretty clear that a 64G iPod Touch will be added at the $399 price point the 32G Touch used to fill. The Nanos and Classics are also taking price cuts, from 20 to 50 dollars depending on capacity.

No way yet to know if these prices will remain as they are now when the new generation models are announced, or if Apple is intending on having a two track product line, a set with cameras and a set without….time will tell.

Of course, as of now, these prices only apply to US buyers…European and Asian sites still have the old prices. I imagine they will change as well, in due time….probably.

  • Munch. Munch. Munch. That's the sound of me eating my keyboard. I'm REALLY surprised that Apple can do a 64 GB iPod Touch for $399, but I guess with their massive purchasing power on Flash memory they can do what no one else can do. Man, they must have used thumbscrews on the Flash memory guys to get the pricing to make that happen.
  • You think Apple can do a 64 GB Touch for $399? I'll eat my keyboard if that happens today! Flash is *not* that cheap yet.
  • Well, we should know in a few minutes....Steve is back, though not on stage at the moment, and they are pushing GAMES, GAMES, GAMES....feels like a Nintendo event.
  • And Apple just blew this...keeping the 8GB with the old processors, $199, the 32G with the new processor at $299 and the 64GB at, yes $399. No 16G at all apparently.

    Advantage, Zune

    But Jason, don;t eat the keyboard...nasty
