Perhaps will this taste like rumour, but without more accurate details, different sources seemed to confirm it.
After negociations, Apple accepted to pay the compulsory tax on digital medias (that includes the iPod)
This tax is of 15 € on 15 and 20 Go iPods and 20€ on 40 Go.
This shouldn't be incidental on public prices (that is, most of that tax shouldn't be), but will be covered by Apple's margin.
Those are thus quite good news indeed.
