I can't imagine Apple is so dumb as to think that the current situation is a desirable one, or that a wholly artificial segmentation like that would fly with customers.
No-one with a Touch is going to get a Nano for the camera. They'll just keep using their crappy phone or get a Flip.
Not having the video camera in the Touch is a huge missed opportunity, whose net result is lower hardware sales, period.
- GHFigs 17y agoor get a Flip. This does not seem obvious to me. The Flip Ultra (4GB) is $149, the Ultra HD (8GB) is $199. Compare the iPod Nano at $149 (8GB) and $179 (16GB). The Flip may be a better camera, but the Nano is clearly competitive, even ignoring it's other features. whose net result is lower hardware sales The Nano is the top selling iPod model. They released a new model with at least one significant new feature that wholly replaces another product category in the same price range. How do you conclude that will result in lower sales?
- dirtyaura 17y agoI feel that there's a big market for Nano with a camera that iPod Touch with a camera couldn't really serve. I know many people who don't want to buy a mobile phone with unnecessary features. It's not just cost awareness. They want simple things. And the music player & Camera combo is a simple. They couldn't care less about apps and web browsing functionality in their music player. They will care about those in 2014, but not today and new Nano is targeting that crowd.
