| - | [* black] We're working on getting it open. In the meantime, let's have some fun with numbers. |
|---|---|
| - | [* black] Retailing for $399 in the US, you'll be paying $6.23 per gigabyte for the 64 GB touch. That's no match for the $1.56 per gigabyte for the 160 GB iPod Classic. |
| - | [* black] Going back four years, the original nano was $62.25 per gigabyte, while the hard drive-based 60 GB iPod Video of that era was $6.65 per gigabyte. |
| - | [* black] Interestingly, that means that today flash is roughly equivalent to where hard drives were four years ago. In 2005, you could purchase a 60 GB iPod Video for $399, while today you can get a 64 GB iPod Touch for the same price. |
| - | [* icon_note] Don't read too much into these numbers; there's lots of other costs and components to the iPods other than the raw storage medium. |
