Booo - I blame Apple for us assuming product updates and getting our hopes up for nothing.

Now I don't feel like Leo

Course I bought mine back in July, so it has been current long enough I suppose

I find it odd that the iPod product page (Canada) still lists $499 USD:



...makes you wonder if Apple's going to introduce them at an even lower price...

I think this just means that Canadian/non-US pricing has yet to be determined.

Contrary to myth, Apple doesn't just look at xe.com for today to determine what the non-US price of something is. They look at the longer-term analysis of how the currency has performed and what the trend is, along with other factors.

That way, they don't have to change the price every day.
