The new iPod Touch is a grand slam homerun as well. Goodbye dedicated camera manufacturers. You are toast.

Only thing it’s missing is a 3G option….

or GPS. And top end of $399 makes me wonder about mini iPad pricepoints and features…..

Well, the 16GB iPad starts at $499. More everything else, less capacity. I don’t see any cognitive dissonance issues here.
iPod touch is not going away. Yes, the iPad mini will be cheaper than the touch in some models (if it exists). But the iPod touch has its fans as well. The way things _used_ to be, you paid a premium for portability.

Thanks, Steve. -
Still early, but only a minor selloff, all things considered.
Anything is possible with Mr Market.

iPod touch 4th gen 16GB $199
iPod touch 4th gen 32GB $249iPod touch 5th gen 32GB $299
iPod touch 5th gen 64GB $399The new iPod touch has a 4” Retina display and comes with EarPods. A theoretical iPad mini would have neither, nor would it start at 32GB.
Hmm…it does make you wonder what other compromises they need to make in order to hit the $249-299 price point. Start at 8GB storage? If they can fit the 2 cameras into the ultra-thin new iPod touch, then there’s no question they can include those same cameras into an iPad mini.
iPad mini WiFi 8 GB $249 ?? [starting to think $279 or $299 is more likely]
iPad mini WiFi + 4G LTE 16 GB $379 -
The second attempt to take the stock down begins. We’ll see if this is any more successful than the first attempt. I can imagine some fingers were on the “short” button waiting for the end of the presentation.

I’m sure people are pre-writing niche-itaphs for iPad mini.
I couldn’t use that other word in good conscience because I don’t think a single person in their right mind thinks the iPad mini will actually fail.
Too expensive. Not enough resolution. No NFC. Some other stuff.
I think Apple proved today with iPhone 5 that it knows how to package a product. If iPad mini is for real, and Dalrymple strongly hinted as such, it’ll be solid from its first generation.

What time on Friday will preorders begin?

What’s the appeal of the Touch? It seems directed primarily at the pre-phone market demographic. Do music lovers accept the graphic/storage/price tradeoff, meaning less storage but a better interface at a steep price? Do you see many of these at the gym?
Forgive me if I’ve misunderstood the product.

That’s the third bounce off 657 since yesterday afternoon. But who’s counting?

iPad mini WiFi + 4G LTE 16 GB $379Ipad mini can have a price point conflict with the present lineup
Or the ipod 4th gen wont sell imho
Why would one pay for an a4 3.5 inch 16 gig device If the 7.xx inch a5 is going be only a 100 dollars more if not less
Or if there is an 8 gig mini ipad. for 199 .
Curiois is absance of 16 gig New touch. Maybe an indication of pricpoint consideration in the line up for the mini ipadPricing logic for the new touch and mini ipad( if there is going to be one) is confusing to me!

I agree (kid demo), other than as a dedicated car or home music library. When I am working out or hiking, I want my phone along to check-in every 90 seconds.
Seems to me you give these to a kid who you don’t want talking on a cellphone.
What else am I missing?
