I agree that the iPod Mini *should* have been priced at $200... but even so, at $250, these things will sell like MAD.
At the moment, having an iPod is a fashion statement. An enourmous fashion statement. (If you see a girl with an iPod, flash your iPod and you instantly connect. I know this from experience.) Soon, if Apple plays its cards right, it'll reach the mainstream price-point and the mainstream will glom onto it.
It's the new "Walkman".
Do you... I dunno... have a clue what you're talking about?Quote:

In fact, as far as I can see, the only thing Apple messed up on, is that they didn't build in a loop so it can attach to a neck lanyard.
Well the original iPod isn't very big in the first place, and I know for sure that I have over 4 gigs of MP3s. 15 is overkill for me but better more than less. I really don't give a crap about the color. Plus the mini iPod doesn't have the kickass touch screen. So yeah, for me there really is no need for this.
Pastels. What the fuck is with Apple and pastel colors.
Since when do any iPods have a touch screen?Quote:

I'm curious to try out the iPod mini navigation, with the buttons being actually recessed under the scroll wheel... it's a cool space saving idea in theory, but I wonder how well it works and how hard you have to push to register.Quote:
