So, let me get this straight. I knew they didn't ship with a remote anymore. So, I ordered one seperately.
I get my delivery free of charge in two days, which is great. However, IT DOESN'T SHIP WITH AN IPOD DOCK CONNECTOR???
If Apple wants to lower their price by not including essential items for its use, then at least tell me to my face. Now, I have to make another order.
This is the sleaziest thing Apple has done.

Just noticed another thing they didn't give me. A simple black case!!
Oh yeah, not that I really care, but they didn't give me the cables to connect to a TV.
Let me guess. If I pay for all the things it shipped with when the price was $600, it would totally make up the difference of $150.

ouch. not sure about what they ship with but that just plain sucks!
sorry ( i realize i am not much help, but more like a voice of unreason : )

can you repeat please?
;)

docks aren't essential. tv cables are sold seperately, as noted on the site and box.

Why do you need a dock with a remote?

Right now, I only have USB-1 to transfer songs onto the iPod. Do you know how much slower USB-1 is than Firewire when you have gigabytes to move? I would have looked much closer at the fine print if I hadn't bought one for my girlfriend a few months ago. (When they were charging more, but giving you what you needed.)

dude i just bought an ipod and it came with both usb2 and firewire cables...are you not looking under some of the packaging or did they seriously not come with both of those cables?

ipod photo is such a joke
- CyBrainX0
No, The packaging is about three inches thinner since they lowered the price.
iPod photo is not a joke if you have 60 GB of music on it. I'm not interested in keeping my photography on it.
- scarabin0
and nobody is, that's my point.

i doubt that one will ever take off

I'll sell you my 60gig for $350 with all the parts.

my 20 gig 3rd gen came with remote, dock, and firewire...
usb 2.0 i bought separately for $20.
bought in ear headphones... they were great till one side stopped working.
apple headphones that came with included remote which the wire pulled so the internals are exposed, as did the ipod headphones.
i use the pod with sony MDR-150'S... full sized.
as for the no dock/remote with 4th gen, its pretty well known that apple did this to move more units. not everyone uses the dock.. although i use it daily, there is always fine print.
i'd expect a new ipod photo version in jan.. with raw capabilites and a dock...

sorry - all are problems that could have been solved simply by reading what was included and what was not...
- liquid0
someone buy me an ipod....
- auricom0
well if everyone would quit bitching about the price of them, then maybe things would stay the same and you wouldn't have got those goodies. (that you really don't need)
plus like what jevad said, read the info.
- auricom0
meant would have got. just gets old reading threads about this. everone bitches about apples pricing so apple does something about it, then they bitch about what has been done, just can't seem to please everyone.
- scarabin0
ipod is so passe
- puter0
I have a dock and used it about 4 times- pointless if you ask me- to each their own.

How is Apple doing anything about being overpriced if they're only lowering prices by including less?
