MWSF: More Mini iPod Confirmation and Detail?
The new iPods will be physically smaller than current iPods. The "mini" description reportedly refers not only to the diminished capacity (2GB and 4GB by some reports), but also to the physical size of the units.
The mini iPods will also come in a variety of solid colors as previously reported... but no confirmation on patterns/stripes. At least one of the colors intended is reported to be "Gold" (not plated).
Pricing of the new iPods remains unclear -- with conflicting reports, but is reportedly significantly less than current models.
The fate of PowerMac and Xserve updates appear less likely at MacWorld San Francisco.

white is good, maybe black would go good but, to keep the idea of simplicity, I wouldnt release it with a thousand color choices!.. lets keep it simple..
small capacity with low price is a good idea though!...
I'm sure Apple is gonna make something cool.. lets wait and see...

would you consider expecting something around 100$ as optimism??
If these mini iPods are any good and cheap I might buy one since I have about $100 to spend.
If it cant be used as a storage device then I wont be buying one.

well, let me put it this way....
and this is without any particular inside knowledge... but simply looking at the existing industry.
$99 Flash MP3 players on the market right now top out at 128MB
2GB MicroDrives cost $250+ for the drives alone. [edit: $350 here]
I don't see how Apple's going to sell them at $99 for 2GB... but who knows...

another question is, if they will have a harddrive just like the normal versions, or a memory-like thing..
harddrive solution would be lot cheaper though...
*Hint what I got is small white and is 20 gigs of fun :D

Well, it sounds cool and good for the company. I have a few friends saying they'd jump on them if they are a cheap as we all hope ($99). But I got what I wanted for X-mas so it doens;t really affect me any more.
