Yet Another story on how the new iPhone could eventually kill of the iPod. I mentioned in an earlier post that I thought iPod touch had no clear future. I am sure the smart people at Apple also realize that the days of people just buying an MP3 Player for the sake of listening to music is going to be over soon. Surely, there will be demand for a product that only does one thing, but the younger generation would be more into multitasking which means multi-tasking devices will be hotter than ever in the upcoming years.

Apple iPhone is now going for $199 which is much affordable than before. It’s true that the phone plans are not that affordable but the younger generation rather save $300 that that they would’ve paid a couple of years ago on an iPod and put that towards getting the iPhone. I still think the best way to go forward for Apple is to combine the two devices. Let’s say you go to the Apple store and buy an iPhone. If you don’t like to activate it, then you pay $299 for it. But if you activate it within 30 days, you get $100 back in rebate. There are a lot of things to consider when going with such a plan, but I am sure Apple can figure it out. But don’t make us buy two very similar devices and pretend that they are very different.
