Did Apple drop the price of the 32GB iPod touch to compete with the Zune HD?

The ZuneHD came out today.  Have you heard of it?  It gets pretty good reviews and it costs less than a 32GB iPod touch…well, it did. 

Microsoft priced the Zune at $289 to undercut Apple’s iPod Touch 32GB $299 price point.  However, today the price of a 32GB iPod touch has dropped to $279 at Amazon (something that almost never happens on a brand new model of ANYTHING from Apple).   Strangely, the 64GB model, which doesn’t have a ZuneHD equivalent remains unchanged while the 8GB model is $10 off.

Microsoft…do we hear $269?  Going once…going twice

The iPod touch, of course, is still beating the Zune in the Amazon top 10 (below) but not by much.
