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."

      The "Bug" part that I had heard about was that you couldn't replace the battery yourself. You had to send it back into Apple to get it fixed.

    I still can't get an iPod in the US without waiting a month. Apple can kiss my ass because just last week I got myself iRiver player.

    I played around with them the other day at the Apple store. I think, they don't feel right: the metal feels cold, the edges are sharp, the paint seems to come off at the edges, and the controls felt crappy. They just felt very unpolished, especially when compared to the original iPods. Does anyone know if they show actual production samples at the stores?
