Apple slashes iPod prices and announce a 64GB iPod (and possibly the iTablet)

The Apple event tonight is going to be Beatle themed (kind of obvious with the whole Let's Rock thing) but more interestingly, Apple have dropped the prices of their iPods and it looks like the reason for this reduction is a 64GB iPod.

Prices:

• 32GB touch: $279 (was $399)
• 16GB touch: $249 (was $299)
• 8GB touch:   $189 (was$229)

The Nano's price is now at $129 (8GB) and $149 (16GB), with the the Classic going down to $229 (was $249).

Stay posted for more nws from the event including the iTablet (fingers, legs, toes and even Ghostbusters proton pack streams crossed).
