Rumors of Mini iPods

Posted by michael on from the vaporware dept.

TheKidWho writes "According to Thinksecret: 'Reliable sources inside and outside of Apple have confirmed Apple will announce the new pocket-size iPods in a number of capacities and in various colors, including stripes. Capacities will be 2 and 4GB -- meaning users could store some 400 and 800 songs, respectively. Prices will start at around $100US, Think Secret has learned. It is not known if the new product line will be available immediately after introduction. It is also expected that current iPod models will be revamped to add body colors as well.' With the $99 price tag, it seems these rumored iPods could make big headway in the low end mp3 player market."

    Despite this obvious flamebait/troll, I'll answer anyway.

    I'm quite atheist, so I personally find it hypocritical to celebrate Christmas. I don't even like paying lip-service to a holiday that I don't even have the slightest belief in. It's best for everyone this way. I don't feel like a hypocrite, and people that actually DO want to celebrate the birth of Christ don't have me polluting their holiday by making it a commercial event. Instead, I celebrate the Solstice. Here in Edmonton, when this time of year comes around, the amount of daylight that we get is much too little, so celebrating the lengthening of days again is something I can get behind. I don't have any pagan beliefs either - no 'official' ones anyway - so I'm just happy that the days are getting longer.

    As for buying gifts, this is a good time of year to do it. Lots of sales. :)
