personally this really puzzles me, if Apple chooses to do this why bother doing it in the first place

also with users being able to jailbreak their touches and get the Apps for free its another knock in the pants for those legitimate users. funny how Apple is so late to introduce these changes we could do a long long time ago with Jailbreak

same deal with the iPhone price reduction. personally although i do like Apples products, i find the company is bringing out new products too quickly, pretty sure it wasn't too long ago we had the introduction of the Macbook and Macbook Pro

I bought my iPod touch from Best Buy on Jan 9. Yesterday I noticed that Best Buy had dropped the price of the touch $20. I went to the store and showed them their new price ad and they refunded me the difference.

BTW: Not only has Best Buy dropped the normal price from $299 to $279, but they have it on sale for $266.

I posted this on the Apple forums and of course the "Big Brother" editors deleted the post.
