New Ipod Mini $225

[NxC429]

Target has them for $249.99 - 10% coupon = $224.99 + $5 shipping + tax
Target

To me it makes more sense to stick 100 dollars more into it and get a regular ipod with a helluva lot more memory.

Is the backside metal plated like the orginals?

It is not chrome plated. The backside is the same material and color as the front.

No, the housing is a solid piece except for the top and bottom.
I looked at them on Saturday at the Apple store in the mall.
Very light and nice looking, just too expensive.

You can also get one at Crutchfield.com for $229 shipped after either a $20 off $100 MasterCard coupon (Google for the coupon link) or a $20 off $200 current customer referral code. They probably won't ship as soon as Target though.

You can get it for $199 if your an Apple developer Mine is back ordered until march 18th

Which is what the price SHOULD be in my opinion.

Have you seen this thing? Held it in your hand? It's a very well designed piece of work and it is ultra portable. While 40 gig is impressive, I know I would not use all of that space for music. I prefer the form factor and the more durable feel of the mini.

This will be my next best friend

The housing for the iPod minis is a solid piece of aniodized aluminum (in a tube, hollowed out so it's only one piece). Very nicely done, and way more scratch-resistant than the original iPods.

Do they charge tax?

Has anyone seen the IM in actual stores yet? I mean stores I've heard of: Target, Best Buy, Circuit City, CompUSA, etc., etc.? I'd love to go check it out in person, plus I'd hate to wait more than a month by ordering it online . . .

 

[motoxpress]

I saw it in Compusa.

Apple stores have 'em now. Well, at least the one I went to did (Glendale, CA). And they are awesome looking. Very impressive. There's many pictures of them popping up all over the web. Check out the iPod mini dissection.

I doubt we'll see price drops anytime soon if at all. They're selling very well right now. 100,000+ ordered/bought so far. No incentive for Apple to lower the prices. Besides, a 4GB micro drive will normally retail for something like $300 or more. So the price Apple's charging isn't completely unreasonable.
