I have been researching the pros and cons of an ipod touch recently and I'm still convinced Apple prices are too high. Even though the prices of older models continue to drop, is it still worth it to spend that significant amount just for an added interface quality or accessibility. After researching online the Sandisk Fuze, which is coming onto the market, I see a much lower price compared to the 8GB audio/video player from Apple. Apple lists their 8GB ipod touch at $229 while the Sandisk Fuze is listed at $89.99. Is the Ipod touch, and other Apple models overpriced or a bad design? Due to their extremely user friendly interface and easy usage, I would conclude that Apple products are a good design. Their computers and other products are very well constructed and thought out, but their prices I feel are still too high for what your are getting. When designing your own computer even, including all of the apple software, you could spend around $1,000, while they would charge $2,000. I feel that Apple products in general are over advertised and consumers are just too lazy to research other available products that offer the same functions, at a much lower cost.
