First, apologies if this is in the wrong forum. I considered "Purchasing Advice", but that seems to be for people who want to buy things and need advice on their purchase. Feel free to move it though.
Anyway, Argos are selling Apple Remotes for £9.50, reduced from £19. I bought one as a spare for when I (inevitably) lose one of mine. You can buy them online HERE or in the stores. |

So it's clearance... Does that mean we'll see something else in the future? I haven't got an iSight, or even another webcam, but the announcement of Front Row in Leopard made me wonder what Apple will do about the missing remote in the pre-FR macs...

Of all companies, some random UK retail store is not going to have information of upcoming Apple product releases.

In my experience, non-perishable items rarely go on sale due to lack of sales, but because the manufacturer/distributor lowers the price or it is used as bait to get consumers to also buy other products. We're in the middle of the quarter, so this probably isn't an inventory cleanout to get better numbers for Q3 either (and this is UK so the focus on quarterly earnings is lower). The above pretty much leaves one option: Apple is getting rid of inventory... Converted 07/2005. |

I'd be half tempted to pick up a spare meself, but I'm fairly sure that int'l shipping would probably more than make up for the difference in price. |

I'm still trying to work out why on earth these things are £20 in the first place.
It's a tiny piece of plastic with an IR sender and three plastic buttons. Probably costs peanuts to make. |
