Apple Ends Delay, Sets iPod Mini Worldwide Launch

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."

    First, it's not a bug, it was an uncommon problem on some of the models, no matter what the Neistat Brothers have to say about it.

    Second, as the iPod mini uses a different battery and it has only been in people's hands for several months, no one can speak to the average longevity of the battery in these models.

    Third, and I am sorry if this is rude, it's not hard to educate yourself about this before you ask a question in Slashdot that just makes you sound like a Troll.

    The Australian Apple online store had nearly 14,000 preorders in the first 2 hours after they became available, so I'd say they're going to do rather well with the iPod Mini. :)
