EUR120 for 4GB is also a huge rip-off, even by Apple's standard.

I ordered a 16GB model via the Apple Store, and when I checked my order status it had been replaced by a 4GB model instead.

Subsequently sorted without any action on my part, but the cancelled model is still listed on my Order Status page.

Product / part number (for those who care) is PB651ZO/A and the price was €140.

That's only £15 less than the 8Gb model so what's the point? I don't want one as I have bought a touch, but if a 4Gb nano was available for say £75 then at that price I would buy my girlfriend one. As it stands though I ain't spending £109 on her, she can whistle.

...an Apple rep actually spoke to a Reg hack. I think that's the real story here!

But you can bet that it will be £170 - you know, to line up with the American pricing.

for 120eur you can have a whole SE walkman 3g phone with a 8gb card

I bought my girlfriend a 3rd gen Nano last Christmas. Now she's hankering for a 4th gen Nano, which I've pretty much resigned myself to getting for her. At least I'll get some of the "good lovin'"!

I'm a 5th gen video iPod man myself...

How come the bigger iPods cost so much more?

You can buy a 4GB DSHC car for £9, 8 GB for £14 and 16GB for £25 so why do you have to pay so much more for iPods? Why aren't they all 16GB at a minimum when memory is so cheap?
