ipod mini


Yesterday at the Macworld Expo, San Francisco - the new mini iPods at US$ 249.
New case, new chase: hot, smart looking, supposedly scratch resistant anodized aluminium case in 4 soft colours, although I'm personally very disappointed with the green from what I can see on the pictures. Smaller and lighter than the original iPod, at the time with "just" 4GB and nearly all advantages of the big one, like 25 mins skip protection, up to 8 hrs battery life etc. Special Yay! for the click-wheel instead of these strange buttons in a top line!

Flaws: Not yet rated by happy/unhappy customers - too early :-)) , should we give them the time to find more flaws and wait for the -hopefully- better 2nd gen?? And lets see about the scratch resistance...I remember that they also used that word for the white iBook case (the Barbie Mac), and then it was sensitive like a ripe peach! Unfortunately the Belkin voice adapter doesn't fit on the mini -This revelation caused lots of sadness here *sniff*.
Last big flaw: available in the US now, but anywhere else not until april :-(

Nevertheless sweet, aren't they? Sexy beasts! I want the blue one, please ;-)
