I'm very interested in this player that's can store up to 800 mp3's now i just want all the dirt so if anyone has more info on the upcoming apple mini ipod let me know. Links or pics would even be better.

I posted one story on the front page here.

I had heard that the rumors were false and that Apple isn't planning any smaller iPods.

hmm could be but it would seem like a good idea to fill in the gap for people who dont want to put out the money for ipod... rumors spread like wild fire on the net so i wouldnt be surprised

I just found this on Slashdot I would have posted it as news but there has already been so many stories on it I felt I should be here for those who are interested (also its just a rumor as far as I know)

squiggleslash writes "One of the aspects of the '2G mini-iPod' rumour that's so far made it unlikely is the lack of a tiny, cheap, 2G, drive. Well, today Cornice has announced a 2G hard drive (PDF, 100k) that fits the bill. It's available for about $70 in lots of 100,000. The Mac Rumour sites are going faily nuts over this for obvious reasons. The reason the drive is so cheap is that it contains virtually no driver electronics, there's not even a memory buffer - this is the equivalent of a 1980's RLL or MFM drive. At $70 it seems unlikely that the mini-iPod, assuming it's announced tomorrow, will be under $100, but on the other hand the original iPod sold for the same price as the harddrive inside it. Here's hoping..."

seems like it was officialy annouced today at macexpo posted the info on the front page. quick run down its coming in 5 colors price will still be expensive at $249 4Gb ... interesting thing is they will phase out the 10Gb and replace it with a 15Gb for the same price of $299 sounds good to me ... shame the mini-iPod wont be closer to the $100 mark like M$ Agent said but i'm sure they may introduce a 2Gb version in the future for $100 ... who knows i just want the 40Gb to go down in price but it doesnt seem like its going to anytime soon hehehe

I'm still dying to have a look at the mini/specs pics and colors

40 GB lol I dont know how many MP3 songs that is but im sure its about 39 GB more then I have.... I would be totaly satisfied with a iPod that had like 256MB on bourd and had a slot for Flash cards to be added (they make those up to 1 GB now and I heard 2GB isnt far off...) Well Actz if you get one of those 40 GB ones tell me how you like it (although im sure you will love it as evry single review I have read of it says its better then sliced bread LOL) I was just hopeing to get a smaller cheaper one that had the same ergonomics

Ahh yes but if you had 615$ to spend on a super large capacity iPod you could store just about every song ever written by man in your pocket ! lol

i guess you could delete all songs of your computer and just play them right off your ipod if you get a big one ... it will be like an extra hd hehehe the mini souds great but i think they should at least drop it $50

For those who want all the official info and some articles go check it all out at the following link from our front page news.

There's a thread at Neowin, a wallpaper with the larger and mini iPod on it here, [Release] Mini iPod

now i'm confused the mini looks like the older ipod just smaller and different colors but the one next to it is what exactly? is that the 2gb one that hasnt been annouced yet?

Yes this is the 2GB, not the 4GB. It's all a little confusing to me too, actz.
