A 5GB Low-End iPod?
Tuesday November 25, 2003 01:27 PM
An unconfirmed report suggests that we may see a low-end/cheaper 5GB iPod introduced from Apple as early as the November 28th, 2003 In-Store Apple event.
It has already been revealed that the event will bring 10% discounts on current iPods and music-related purchases.
Steve Jobs has previously expressed interest in creating a cheaper iPod, but claimed "We just don't know how to do it right now."

Newsweek posts a short interview with Steve Jobs about the new iTunes Music Store for Windows.
The interview touches on Apple vs. Microsoft, as well as the frequent topic of a cheaper iPod:
Q: Some think you wouldn’t want to sell a $100 iPod because the profit margin would be so low.
Jobs: What are you talking about? We’d love to have a $100 iPod! We just don’t know how to do it right now. We’re constantly trying to make cheaper iPods. We’re working on the next step.

Apple is now advertising for the November 28th Apple Store event on their retail store page.
"Someone you know loves music
You'll want to kick off your holiday shopping at the Apple Store. We’ll be hosting an all-day shopping event designed especially for the music lovers on your list. Whether they’re Mac or Windows users, you’ll find a scintillating array of gifts, plus, a few surprises in store for you. "
Local Apple Stores have started advertising the event as well, according to reader submissions.
Our previous report on the event noted iTunes Gift Certificate sales, free iTunes Software CDs and discounts. More specifically, based on reports, Apple will be offering 10% all Music-related items including iPods, Accessories and Software.
....SO! Whadya' think? Imagine a sub $100 U.S. iPod??? What a stocking stuffer!!!!
