I am torn, if the rumors are true then its going to be a struggle to decide between the new mini and the new 30gig, even worse if both get BT...
Got a tip for us?

Cripes! Now I'll be late for my morning meeting as I wait out the store coming back online...
It's easy enough for Apple to justify filling out their product line. Much harder for one guy to explain to his patient wife why he (or she) NEEDS another iPod.
Piarco75 said:Ditto - damn Apple and their devious way of making me part with my hard(ish) earned cash... a new Powerbook and Shuffle bought this month, an iMac on order, and now an iPod Mini!!!!!
They're so damn addictive they need a health warning
Yeah...
October: iBook and an iMac for the office.
January: shuffle, iLife, iWork, 20G iPod
Today: ?!?!?!
And I want to replace the G4.
iGary said:
No it wouldn't. Think of the 30GB iPod replacing the 20 GB and the 60 replacing the 40. It's really more bang for your buck.

80 is totally overblown. It would be a brick. 80 GB hard drives are too large, physical size wise, to be used in an iPod at the moment.
And why 80? Apple has a good spread on the market from 512MB to 60 GB. That fulfills the needs of nearly everyone, making the 80 GB iPod a niche product and therefore not profitable at all unless it were made to be really expensive.

Well considering Ozzy sales were up almost 50%, you probably won't be waiting long.
Imagine if, after all this hype, we finally see the new updates and all they've done is upgrade the mini to 5GB. No color screen, no bluetooth, the iPods are all the same. I mean, seriously, how depressing would that be?impact_blue said:So is this official? are we really gonna get new iPod minis
...sorry
