5 GB iPod Mini?
Apple is expected to release a revised iPod mini early next year, according to AppleInsider. The revised mini is reported to be moving to a 5 GB hard drive, up from the current 4, allowing it to hold approximately 1250 songs.
Like Dell's new Pocket DJ and Rio's Carbon, sources say the new Apple player will be based around a 5GB hard drive. Hitachi, which supplies Apple with drives for the current line of iPod minis, has yet to officially introduce a 5GB version of its microdrive, though similar offerings are reportedly available from both Seagate and Toshiba.
Capacity figures aside, not much more is known about the revised mini. Rumors of potential color alterations and more 'metallic' finishes are abound, but remain unconfirmed at this time.

Pretty weak upgrade if that's all. Drop the price and that would be something.

The iPod mini is so out of my league, it's funny. With my entire collection in Apple Lossless format, it will fit only on the 60 GB iPod Photo, which I don't own.

5 GB has been out for a while now ... I hope they release a higher capacity iPod mini instead of a 5 GB. Going from 4 to 5, while a nice 25% increase isn't bad. Going to a 6 GB, or increasing by 50%, would make them competitive.
Apple is starting to lose ground on the mini market.

nice,
good to keep the mini competitive
is a 5 gig the most capacity at that size?
one thought: this is going to piss off a lot of holiday shoppers hehe

I doubt we will see a price drop or alternate colors. They will just increase the song capacity and thats about it.

I'm still hoping for a color screen. (Yeah yeah, not going to happen, but I can hope.) :)
When they do intro the new Mini, they're not JUST going to push it to 5 gigs. They're going to add features ... that's a given. AI just hasn't been given that info.

60Gb of game music :eek:, i may be getting one as a present if true, hopefully it should go down in price a little and up the battery life to 12 hours.

I don't care for the photo function, but a color screen on the mini would be sweet. I know - it's just a gimmick, but after seeing the iPod Photo in the stores I fell in love with the color screen. :)
