iPod Mini and Xserve G5 Photos

Macitynet.it has posted an iPod Mini photo gallery from MacWorld Expo. The photos help illustrate the small size of the new iPod Minis.

In an MSNBC article Steve Jobs suggests that he thinks "one of the biggest customers for the mini is going to be current owners buying a second iPod. They're going to have both -- when I go on a trip I take my whole library with my iPod and when I go to the gym I take the mini."

Meanwhile, Joswiak noted that they would settle on a UK price "closer to the availability date" due to the volatility of the currency exchange. Joswiak also comments on the rumors of a $100 iPod:

"That's why all this nonsense about us doing a $99 player was just that. We weren't going to do a player that does 30 songs - it's very uninteresting to us."


Note: A photo gallery of Xserve G5s is also available from Macitynet.it.

No, i don't think so. The size difference is just not that significant.

Would be nice, but I don't have the cash. Tell ya what, Stevie-boy, lower it to $199 and I'll think about it. ;)

Just like with my first experience with the original iPod, I imagined this thing to be much bigger than it really is, and seeing it compared next to my Sony Ericsson phone really drives that home... smaller in every dimension other than width.

Say what you will about pricing... i'll agree its not the best value, but the new iPod Mini looks very nice and is TINY.

yep...

I think there is value for a smaller iPod.... some people want ultra portability. This is very small... more "pocketable" than even the 3rd gen iPods.

4GB is still a lot of music.

I beg to differ - the difference has me ordering a mini as soon as they reach these frozen wastes - and I already have a 10 gig regular.

Compared to my other pocket electronics, the regular ipod is the biggest. My Motorola (yes, those same guys) V66 is way smaller than the ipod, and I want a mini to be the same.

This aint about logic - perhaps it should be....... :eek:

When I showed my middle school students the iPod mini, " cool " was the response. When I talked about price and size and capacity they all said they wanted the mini. Some even said they'd ask their parents for one. Did Apple miss the Xmas, excuse me, holiday season on this one?
