You wouldn't say iPods in general are more popular with guys though?
OT - *are* there any chicks on MR??
I think this discount could point to completely new Powerbooks, iBooks and Mac Mini's all running with Pentium M processors tomorrow. Emulation will handle compatibility issues and should produce a laptop and a Mini that will run as fast or almost as fast as the current G4 hardware. Wild guess, but anything is possible at this point. If Apple is going x86 this is the way to make it happen.

Deebster, I don't understand these numbers. What do they mean? If the UK price is £699, then the equivalent price in USD, ignoring taxation differences, is £699 * 1.8 $/£ = $1258, right? Or is the 553 the US store price if converted to pounds?

[MENTAL NOTE] that's one, how many more... [/MENTAL NOTE]
mkrishnan, shadowmoses is right.
All prices in UK pounds, based on a £ to $ rate of 1.80
I'm English, living in Thailand and I keep a spreadsheet of prices of latest models from the UK, US, Thailand, Hong Kong and Singapore, in readiness for when I splurge on a new Mac.
No prizes for guessing which country is the most expensive.

Ahh - true enough! Could start a poll that anyone can answer: Are you a guy or gal? heheh, I guess people wouldn't have to answer truthfully!
i think all the lines mentioned WILL be updated,
Displays MIGHT have more inputs, e.g HDMI (On the 23" & 30"), Svideo on all etc
Ibooks will be updated
Mac mini Will be core image ready
Single prcessoers will be discontinued
Shuffles will get screens
PowerBooks will get HD screens (15" & 17" (All with 128mb VRAM)), 12" will be discontinued, 13.3" will be introduced
*two button wheel mice will be introduced

i hope so; nowdays i'm finding it a little difficult to justify apple's high markup on the displays. hopefully they will give us a great reason to pick the apple ones (apart from looks
)

You know, after nearly a year of posting on these forums and seeing your posts, I've never actually noticed? Shows what a dumbass I am!
Back to the Apple Store prices though.... I know a work collegue who may well be interested in a pink mini, especially as I explained what the original mini's come with. Mind you, she likes thing really pink, so she may still go for the 2nd Gen model!
I am hoping (now desparately) that this is a precursor to the introduction of new models, along the lines of what Uma888 says. I'd go for the 13" widescreen PB in a minute.... well, maybe a bit longer once I've weighed up the difference between the 15"! Old habits die hard(er)....
Role on 6pm!! Good work by Arn and Knox on the live server too....

Gotcha, thanks!
Those *are* pretty significant differences....FWIW I know more women than men with iPods, too, but I'm not one of them.
