iPod Jr. Rumors Become More Substantial

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the but-thats-so-tiny dept.

sdimbert writes "Rumors of a new, smaller, "iPodJr" have been floating around the Rumor Sites for a few weeks (as well a here at Slashdot). But now, the rumors have gained credibility and become more substantial. London's Evening Standard reports today (30 Dec 03) that "Apple has announced a cut-price mini version" of the iPod, "costing 65 [~115 USD], which will be able to store 800 songs." Despite the assertion that Apple "announced" the product, there is no mention of it at their official News Page or their product page for the iPod."

  1. iPod for exercise and iTunes rules? by kevin_conaway · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I just got an 10GB iPod for Christmas and I was curious how the iPod holds up on a treadmill or a jog around the track?

    Im also curious about how iTunes works? If i download some songs on my laptop and can move/play them on my home computer as well?

    Amen! I cant believe I have read through most of these posts and this is the first mention of the current iPods "dirty secret". http://www.ipodsdirtysecret.com/

    I will not spend any money, no matter how insignificant, on a product with a life span as short as the current iPods and that will also require me to spend a third of the initial cost to keep it running.

    All those people with all that money, and no f#cking clue.
