Forget the article, the comments are a hoot. I especially like the well written one that goes:
'it isn’t de-witts fault your idiots! IT IS YOUR’S AND YOUR’S ONLY!!!'.

Man it really diggs into me when reporters don't research before writing. The writer obviously never bothered pricing 64GB SSDs. They are damn expensive and can't be compared to a 16GB flash chip on a per GB basis. The $1000 Apple is charging is actually quite reasonable for a 64GB SSD, even if the performance doesn't merit the buy.

Yeah, the comments are brutal. True, but brutal.

If I had Apple stock to sell, I suspect I'd have sold by now.
I believe Stevo has slipped out of our reality with his RDF. Flash memory costs are going DOWN because, in part, iPod demand is down - and not just seasonally. The new Nanos do not offer anything new because 99% of people do not have video content to put on them and, frankly, the screen is too space to watch video.
He SHOULD have pushed the market for the touch by lowering pricing again and/or giving higher capacity at the same price. The iPod touch is STILL a very expensive toy until the SDK is released or you jail break it.

Good idea--buy high, sell low.

Yeah, Apple should consider doing that sometime...like this month.
