New iPod Nano, a Look Inside Isn't Too Suprising
September 24, 2007 by Vincent
With the release of the new iPods which I think look absolutely amazing, and even better is I don't need all that stuff crammed on my music player so now I can finally buy one of the older video iPods a whole lot cheaper. :) Although besides my financial gain in the situation, according to a company called ISuppli, who recently torn down the iPod nano to take a look at all teh new things crammed into that wide little shell and has said that Apple is going much further with it's pricing than the average mark up for a product based on the components used in it's design, which is certainly an interesting idea. Some argue that they did not take into consideration marketing costs and other PR related costs, but personally I wouldn't doubt that they are cheaper parts selling for a higher price, that's just how today's world works. The cost of the marterials for the new iPod nanos are said by ISuppli to be approximately $58.85 for the 4Gb version and $82.85 for the 8Gb version while the 4 Gb is selling for $149 and the 8Gb at $199. Either way, you wouldn't catch me with one of these little beasts... while they may be fatter now they certainly don't have anywhere near the amount of storage I'm looking for.
