iPhones now outsell iPods by almost 6:1, revenue is over 20:1. The iPod sales dropped 17% 2011-2012 and a further 25% 2012-2013. At a certain point, they'll start killing off various models. I'd guess the classic first but whichever sells in the lowest volume or makes the lowest profit. I've never been a fan of the Shuffle. It hits a lower entry point at $50 but no screen and just 2GB of storage. The next level up is a $150 16GB iPod Nano. I imagine there's a way they can downgrade the Nano to 4-8GB and get it somewhere below $100.
I remember getting the 30gb colour photo model when i needed more storage bought a 160gb classic i use it daily in the car 5 years on still going strong.
Only if the OP wanted a specific iPad, as opposed to any one of the new ones. Using "the" indicates you have a specific item in mind, as in "I would like the new iPad I see on the counter".

I never noticed that before but you are right, Steve did just say iPod ... kind of like it was a person.
I-pod changed everything! Glad it has stuck around!
