what you notice about ipod you will notice about the iphone...the progression of look and storage medium...the iphone has both a 4GB and 8GB...the progression of storage medium only get bigger...and noticed that the price value stayed consistant...so i wouldn't doubt if the price of the iphone will stay just as consistant

I see your point. As with ANY technology, the iPhone too will morph into something altogether different in years to come. the good news is that Apple had time to work on the design with the iPods so that the iPhone wouldn't look so archaic
