..and yet Apple has one of the most known brands in the industry... hummm..slipper said:this just shows how bad Apple marketing is. a big thumbs down.
iSee said:This is pretty strange... I can think of various possible reasons for this but they all seem pretty embarassing to Apple. I'm betting we'll see some senior marketing VP at Apple "stepping down" in the next few weeks or so... I guess the least embarassing possiblity is that the promo was just accidentally released early...

Lacero said:Probably pulled because of customer confusion with test driving a real car. Pretty lame promo if you ask me. Glad Apple came to their senses.
Probably some new hotshot Apple marketing director is cleaning out his desk as I type this.
Well the last mini update was a bit disappointing, maybe it was just a stop gap measure and we'll next something like 1.42GHz and 1.6GHz G4 minis in the next month? Though I don't know that they'd run the promotion again immediately after an upgrade, when you could easily run out of stock selling them to people who never plan to do anything but return them.Lucky736 said:It's easy to see why. You have a 30 day trial. When Apple announces Mini's with new video cards shortly, are you going to keep that old one your testing out? Or return it fee free and get the new one now that you know you like it. Bet this program is right back on after the update.
