iPod Mini Delays

Apple announced that worldwide iPod Mini availability has been pushed back to July due to "much stronger than expected demand in the U.S. far exceeded the total planned supply through the end of June."

According to Reuters, tight supplies of the 4GB 1" Hard Drives are the limiting factor for the iPod Mini's production.

Apple had originally planned to ship the iPod mini worldwide in April.

Here we go again.

ONE MORE TIME, I'm going to ask...who's responsible for Materials Planning at Apple? I suggested Bozo the clown before, but I'm thinking it might be SpongeBob Square Pants!

lol Apple does have issues with new products. But I also don't think that even Apple expected the Mini to be so popular. Considering all the people who were bashing it in January, I am a little surprised it is doing so well.

So it's a bad thing that the iPod mini is selling so well that they can't keep enough in stock? I'm guessing that's a Good ThingTM, at least for Apple. Not for people who want to buy them.

It does mean Apple will miss out on some revenue that they could otherwise have had sooner.

i suppose its a good thing.

my comment was sarcastic in the sense for the past ~4 years, every delay has been blamed on motorola. i thought it would be funny to point the finger at motorola yet again despite the fact they had nothing to do with this delay.

First no freakin' PM updates and now no iPOD mini (which of course I promised to get for my girlfriend for her birthday mid-may, now that's going to be an interesting conversation!)

Man... I swear Microsoft never messed me around this much!
