5 GB iPod Mini In Production?
According to sources close to AppleInsider, the previously-rumored revision to the iPod mini line is already in production in Asia. Teaming up with Seagate to produce the revised mini, Apple plans to introduce the new 5 GB model in early 2005. According to the source, Apple plans to build a stockpile of the devices to meet the initial demand.
The new mini is expected to debut alongside a highly anticipated flash memory based iPod in early 2005, possibly at MWSF.

Just like last year, the new mini will come after Christmas. I wonder how many people will be pissed that their mini is "outdated".

Although people will no doubt be upset, this timing is perfectly reasonable. Apple can barely make enough minis now to keep up with the holiday demand. It makes sense to hold off on the new model until after the Christmas rush, and create new demand with the new version.94 months ago
Long before the advent of colour screened, photo displaying to TV iPods there was the G1 iPod. It had five GB of space and was $499. The iPod mini mentioned here is $249 and has 5 GB in almost half the size with more onboard software and advances on almost every front including the superficial aluminum casing and colour schemes. How on earth can that be seen as low end or not worth the money? Come now, the mini is wonderful.

4-5 GB is a slow start. i love the form of the mini, i just want about 15 GB of songs on it. one day it will happen (and probably by then i will want about 20 GB of songs) Its just a nice case to prove that Moore's Law is hard at work!!!
