Apple slashes iPod prices up to $120

[Osiris]

In an early-morning teaser, Apple (AAPL) has chopped $20 to $120 off the prices of most of its iPod line.
The new prices were posted only hours before a special music event at which Apple is expected to replace most if not all of its existing iPods with new models loaded with more memory and added functions, such as a camera.
Among the cuts:

• 8 GB iPod touch reduced to $189 from $229 ($40 off)
• 32 GB iPod touch reduced to $279 from $399 ($120 off)
• 16 GB iPod nano reduced to $149 from $199 ($50 off)
• 120 GB iPod classic reduced to $229 from $249 ($20 off)

The new prices are posted, without comparisons to the old, on Apple's online store. Only the iPod shuffle appears to be unaffected. It still $79 for 4 GB.
UPDATE: Apple has taken its store offline, the universal signal that new products are on their way.
Today's event is scheduled to start at 10 a.m. Pacific (1 p.m. Eastern) at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.

I feel bad, my girlfriend just got me a 16 GB nano for my birthday. She could have saved $50.

Only 20 bucks off the classic, eh? Meh.
