Check it out, its the new mini iPod.

Overpriced. For $50 more you get the bigger iPod.

Yeah, But if you only need 4 gigs, then its a good deal

I had a 10 gig ipod, but I sold it because I didn't need that much space, even if I filled it up, 90% of the songs I wouldn't listen too.

Price should have been $175 or less. It's an untimely release.

you can get a 20 gig neuros www.neurosaudio.com for $199 (when in stock)

the Ipod you're paying for the name

It's actually the size you're paying for. It's the size of a business card (thicker, of course). In the keynote, they compared it to ___insert model I cannot remember here___, which had 256 MB of storage (I think) for $199. For $50 more, you're getting the incredibly small size of the iPod Mini + all the features of the iPod. Including 4 GB; or 1,000 songs.

I too thought it was high. $250 for 4 GB or $299 for 15 GB? It's an easy answer. But then he said it was the size of a business card and held it in his hand. I'm into that small stuff, so maybe that'll be next on my list.

I have a 40 GB iPod now, and I'm fine with that. Only filled up 748 of the 10,000 songs allowed, but I like knowing there's room to work with. The other GBs work for a good lookin' FireWire hard drive :cool:

And you go look at rio's stuff, its 1.5 gigs the same size and for $200, who wouldn't go for the apple?

looks good, compact is what I go for:D
i am not a mp3-player fans though, minidisc all the way;)

Yes, it is overpriced, should cost around the $199...

But slick design! very nice!

the price will drop in the next 6-9 months.

the overspricing was said about hte first ipod release too.


i have a 2nd gen 20 g ipod, i love it. cant fit all my music to it. i think the platinum one of those new would be kind of cool, maybe i sell my ipod in uk, and get one of those. and rotate the music.. :)

On a side note;

Does anyone know if it matters if i buy a iPod from America rather than one from the Uk as its much cheaper over there..

would i need any special leads.. erm....is it 'americafied' (such as voltage difference or sizes of leads and line ins)

I highly doubt it, G.

I have a 3G iPod 40GB, bought it 2 weeks ago, I already preordered tis mini ipod (i love the design!)...

Price was the same always for iPod's, didn't change much, only in 20-30 bucks, also... 6-9 months, you know that's alot of time right ;)

the only difference(s): before the european version had to be under 104 dB thus it needed an update of software (5 mb to lower the volume). and the real one: in EU you get 24 months warranty by law. thus no apple care needed

Sleek design, but you're basicly paying for the name, as someone else said, and the size. I don't mind the size, as long as it works.

you'll need a power adapter - we run at twice the voltage of the USA. but then again you can always charge by firewire :)

I love my iPod .. probably the best gadget i've ever purchased.

Bah, humbug. nothing beats my hugeass CD collection. I'm nothing with my discman... and MP3 sucks because I can't find anywhere that sells to the UK (iTunes, you SUCK get your UK shop FINISHED!) that doesn't only have 80's jazz or unsigned artists.

I sent Apple my complaints yesterday after seeing the 'iPod mini' as I think the design is flawed. It's hideous and I would never be caught dead with one. I prefer my real iPod and embarrased that the mini carries it's name!!!

I would so lose that. My friend just bought a 40 gig one for 500 bucks a few days ago.
