Aww that's a decent price for the 32GB Touch but now I don't have the money, and I need a new mp3 too :(

Am I missing something here? Microsoft and Creative have revealed that they are releasing (probably better) players at a price that massively undercuts Apple. So Apple decide to roll out price cuts to a price that still means they are obscenely priced compared to the competition.

Not only that, but who the hell really needs a standalone mp3 player anymore anyway? Just get a nicer cellphone.

That would be nice, but most cell phones that are as good as a standalone MP3 aswell usually have crazy $$ plans or cost as much as a regular phone and an MP3. I have a Voyager, which is decent, but currently only has a 4GB card (expandable to 8 which still isn't much) and my 5.5g iPod Video still sounds better.

Microsoft??? Creative??? It's called demand. There's always been cheap MP3 players, yet people still generally prefer the iPod, as much as that might irritate the rabid anti-Apple ignoramuses. Competition HAS to try selling at a bit less to attract customers.

Apple has name recognition and Zunes suck... They are not nearly as high quality as something like the Ipod Touch... Anyways Itunes and the Apple store has nothing in comparison with it.... People may hate on Apple for high prices, but as far as quality they destroy any microsoft / sony knock-off

Why are 8GB iPod Nano's still £106 here in the UK?
I want to buy a music player which holds enough music for me, I don't care if it's new or not... The 5th generation stuff is just rip-offs.
Especially since my sister paid the same price a few years ago for a 1GB iPod Nano compared to the 8GB iPod Nano's...
Anyway, is this price cut in the UK? I'm pretty desperate for a new music player.
