I found it odd that they didn?t announce a 32GB iPod. Especially since they announced that 1)the iPhone would be priced at $199-$399, and 2) the 8GB = $199 and the 16GB = $299. What version is priced at $399? hmmmm.

They are selling these things at a loss! AT&T is banking on customers and subsidizing the on the phones. This is why Apple hasnt opened up the iPhone to the rest of the mobile operators, much less the rest of the world. They are paying people to buy them because let's face it... a $400 toy is still pretty darn expensive. Even at $200, you have to like it a lot for a slicked up iPod.
