Apple Ends Delay, Sets iPod Mini Worldwide Launch

Posted by pudge on from the ready-set-go dept.

dncsky1530 writes "Apple Computer said Wednesday that it would end the waiting and launch its iPod mini digital music player around the world on July 24. The release ends a three-month delay of the iPod mini's debut outside the United States. In March, Apple said it would postpone the mini player's release because of stronger-than-expected domestic demand and slow production of the device's hard drives."

  1. I'm not sure they're actually selling well by rebeka+thomas · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Look at the pricing of these. a 4GB MP3 player for $249. a 15GB MP3 player for $299. Which would you choose?

    I seriously don't think the demand is that high for them, they're nothing more than a changed package with a FAR smaller drive inside, and I just don't think there's that many consumers silly enough to fall for the ruse.

    Maybe if they were $149 where they should be, at that size.
