How is that going to help? People will go for the iPod because it's lower priced.

That would seem to be a bad idea.....the main reason that most people don't go for the iPod is that there are other players that are cheaper...

You could also look at it the other way, too. By pricing their products higher, it sorta puts it into the consumer's head, that it might be better. You know how trends can get, it's expensive, therefore it has to be good.

Anyway, who knows? Maybe this'll work for Creative. We'll see.

i doubt creative will go under, they make tons of soundcards for computers, MP3 players are 2nd.

Creative will be fine. Their players will be their niche. Hard to compete with Apple and win. Who knows? Maybe Dell may go back to selling iPods again, if Creative decides to call it a day or their sales slip even further. It would take a corporate shakeup at Dell, for them to tuck 'tail between legs' and resell Apple iPods again, I reckon.
