Am I the only one that noticed that the Microsoft reps made absolutely NO mention of Virtual PC? Wasn't there supposed to be an announcement about the new version today as well?

I think everyone is missing the point. Sure the difference is $50, but there are many people out there (and some in this thread) that don't need 11Gb more of storage, but the new slim size is definitely a bonus. I just bought a flash MP3 player for my wife to take to the gym, and something like the mini would hit the sweet spot for portability/storage.

My $0.02.

Yes, but there is still only 25 min of skip protection. Flash players don't have any! So flash players are more ideal for the gym and running.

On the runner's belt... she's listening to it while she runs with the hammer. :(

Maybe next time they edit it, all the guys sitting have a powerbook in front of them and big brother in iDVD.

Do you actually know ANYONE who runs for 25 minutes straight while listening to music? Besides, it would take a lot more jarring that just jogging to make one skip.

Oh yeah, I see it. :rofl: Is the original available anywhere on the web?

Not any decent copies. I've found some low quality ones before, but nothing as good as these. Google for "apple 1984 ad" and you'll probably find some copies.

How long do you run for :blink:

I think just about every jogger in the world runs for at least that long. Although, i highly doubt it would be an issue.

iPod mini is $199 with ADC discount....so that's $299 total...

I may get a new iPod with my PowerMac :)

Edu Discount puts the

4GB mini @ 229

15GB iPod @ 269

min sounds less of a value with edu and adc discounts IMO.

I actually sometimes run with my 20gb ipod, not much a problem I know. But they are targeting people who works out with it (arm belt). Harddrives are not made for frequent vibrations. After time I bet the harddrive won't be good.

if you compare the ipod mini to the ipod, then yes, for another $50 you can have 15Gb instead of 4Gb.

But if your thinking of getting say a Muvo2 1.5gb, then for $20 more you can have more storage, and I think that's what they are aiming for really

Though I agree, is should have been much cheaper, maybe $150, then they'd have the market covered.

If you are jogging while listening to an iPod, I sincerely hope you aren't jogging on a road. That's just plain dangerous. In fact, it's illegal in many places.

Yes, I do. Along with some of my friends when we go to lift weights and run after that. :huh:

I do it in the park and around the canals.

Actually, really tiny hard drives like those in an iPod would be FAR more resistant to shock than a larger hard drive. The smaller you get, the less rotational forces are involved.
