Apple Releases New iPods

but.. just a memory bump? boring...

at least Apple is keeping the line competitive...

:o

Can we keep the one word reponses out please :)

guess i will have to choose between mini's now, although 6 gigs is very tempting, if it has the shock/skip protection it was rumored to have i will probably go that route

edit: nope wasnt added from what i can tell, i might as well end up getting the $200 one then, and save some money, they should have the 18 hour battery life right?

18 hour battery life - that's great! No color screens, but I don't think this this is a huge issue for many people out there...

A somewhat minor update, but an update nonetheless - now mini users have a choice at least and are not stuck with just the one model.

New colors would have been cool though... ;)

My brother won't be pleased as he doesn't own his Mini for a long time yet. But I have to consider if I will keep mine or buy a new Mini. That will be tough!

That 4gb mini's a steal. Good stuff.

Can we keep the one word reponses out please :)

Thanks edesign - I always chuckle and shake my head when a new thread is posted, and then you have everyone clamoring to get the first post by just posting 1-word replies which contribute nothing to the discussion. Now that you're a Mod, maybe you can do something about this? ;)

Looks like an interim update and price adjustment. No biggie. I think the bigger changes will come in June/July/August with a change to all-color-screen iPods and (possibly) iPod minis.

I was hoping for an iTunes 5 surprise, but I suppose that's going to wait until summer as well. I'll have to wait a little longer for playlist folders!

Pretty standard upgrade overall...pity the colour screens or wireless rumours didn't materialise.

Although I'm in the good books as I told my girlfriend not to buy a mini a couple of days ago after she had been hankering for one for ages! Might earn me some serious brownie points by ordering one now... ;)


(and darn MR, you were quick on the ball!)


Edit: Is the USB cable new? Why no firewire?

Edit again: Do these new minis have a new interface as well to come into line with the more recent pods?
