For those interested in iDevices, Apple just cut the pricing of its 5th Gen iPod touch
- 16GB -- $230 --> $199
- 32GB -- $299 --> $249
- 64GB -- $399 --> $299
They're still overpriced, considering the technology is 3 years old - Apple A5 SOC and only 512MB RAM. They also gave the 16GB model a rear camera. The iPt5 was released in Oct 2012 and is due for a refresh this year.
Release Dates- iPod touch 1 -- Sep 2007
- iPod touch 2 -- Sep 2008
- iPod touch 3 -- Sep 2009
- iPod touch 4 -- Sep 2010
- iPod touch 5 -- Oct 2012

The move comes as the tech titan recently reported that its revenue from iPod slid to $461 million from $962 million in the March quarter from a year earlier.
The iPod, which Apple launched in 2001 to much fanfare, is now one of the lowest contributors to the company's top line as many customers use iPads and iPhones to host their music libraries.
Apple's revenue from iPods, which come in other models such as iPod shuffle and iPod classic, accounted for about 1% of its total $45.65 billion revenue during that period. It sold 2.76 million iPod units, down from 5.63 million a year earlier.
