    I want to know the color breakdown.

      6,000 pink, 3,000 blue, 1,000 silver, 122 golden, 244 green.
      Now, do you feel better?

      Of course, the numbers are totally made up. But their knowledge bear the same impact as the knowledge of the real numbers.

      In respect to the numbers: No, I don't want to suggest that the iPod-mini is gay. Maybe my subconsciousness is speaking, and it is just the jealousy speaking out of me. Not that there is something being wrong gay. I would be quite gay to have one. The blue one would be a perfect fit with my pink mobile phone. Oh, wait.

      Forget fashion statements - this is about performance. Has anyone done some tests to determine which colour sounds best?

  2. Time to buy a new one by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny

    Since last Thursday? The battery should be dead by now. Time to throw it out and buy another new one.

    I thought about posting an iPod Mini release article last Friday night, when the iPod mini actually was released, but reconsidered. I guess someone finally got around to posting. That's ok though, as there has otherwise been a general lack of Apple news.

    I bought a silver mini on Friday night. No problems so far, and I can say that the smaller size makes all the difference in the world for those of us who like to take our music with us when we run. Smaller size = less weight = less bouncing around while running.

    (It's the same reason you see very few DD marathon runners.)

  4. A good reference for the size of this thing.... by amichalo · · Score: 4, Funny

    If you want to get an approximate size of the Mini iPod, dig through your wallet and find a business card, or a stack of about twenty for thickness comparisson.

    While you're in your wallet, pull out $249.

    I wonder why so many girls want the ipod mini as opposed to the regular ipod?

    It's because girls like things in smaller packages. At least that's what my girlfriend told me.
