Apple Computer Sells Lower-Priced IPods
From Associated Press
As competitors continue to pull out of the portable audio player market, Apple Computer Inc. beefed up its iPod product mix with a new 1-gigabyte version of the nano and lower-priced shuffles.
The pencil-thin, flash-memory-based iPod nano player now ranges from $149 for the 1-gigabyte model to $249 for the 4-gigabyte model. Previously, the 2-gigabyte nano was the least expensive model at $199.
Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple also cut the prices of its bare-bones iPod shuffle players. The 512-megabyte version dropped to $69 from $99, and the 1-gigabyte model was cut to $99 from $129.
