No Pod....

They're all overpriced. How the hell are they expecting me to drop 300+ euro for a damn MP3 player. Don't they have any idea how much money that is??? Those people at Apple are crazy.....

If I had to choose, I'd still say iPod. The iPod design is much better.

I figured $150 was the sweet spot...especially when I read tha the drives are $70 a piece when bought in lots of 100,000... and you know that apple bought more than 100,000. I'm not against a company making a decent profit, but this just seems crazy. I've seen the comparisons to the normal iPod and it's smaller, but does it make THAT much difference since the iPod is already incredibly small and the mini has 11 GB less than the cheapest normal model. I can't justify it, but thats just me.

The mini is over priced

Well I think the iPod is overpriced too.

Sure it has a 15gb HD which cost quite a lot.... but I don't want that. 5gb is more then enough for me, hell I could do with 3gb too. The thing is that when I want an iPod I always have to buy one with at least 15gb, so I'm buying a device that I only use half the capacity. That way the iPod will always be overpriced for me.

If it also could play movies then the 15gb could be put to good use, but for me 15gb for just music is just way too much and makes the iPod way too expensive.

So now they introduce a 4gb iPod. GREAT.... but not for 300 euro (which it will probably cost here when they put it on the market).

iPod mini for the gym, iPod Biggie for the Road, Metro, Trips, Vacations, whatever...me being stupid and like to say stupid things which I believe are cool but noone else does thinks that apple should make it so you can connect iPod Biggie to iPod mini so you can transfer songs without a compy 386.

That alone isn't worth the pricetag though...I see no reason for the price to be so high except that they are a bunch of greedy ******s :crazy:

They're not neccessarily greedy, as it is they get plenty of income from all their hardware and accesories. They priced it high because they know some people will still buy it either as a status symbol or because they actually have enough money and stupidity imo to buy it for that price.

    • Rufus alternative Ventoy now supports Windows 11's mandatory update, fixes major boot bug by Sayan Sen While Microsoft has its own official Media Creation Tool used for making bootable USB media, there are some popular third-party utilities as well which offer additional options like bypassing system requirements, Microsoft Account creation, and more. One of these is Ventoy, and the software has received its latest update today. In fact, the app actually got a slew of updates over the last couple of days, three version releases in total, to be specific. The first release, version 1.1.13, was pulled as there was some unspecified error in the update, and as such, the corrected version 1.1.14 was pushed out. Following that on very short notice, 1.1.15 was published as well. For those unfamiliar, Ventoy is an open-source utility that lets users create a bootable USB drive once and then simply copy ISO, WIM, IMG, VHD, or EFI files onto it without repeatedly formatting the drive. It supports both legacy BIOS and UEFI boot modes, Secure Boot, and a wide range of operating systems, making it one of the most versatile tools in the category. The biggest change in version 1.1.14 is an updated Secure Boot shim file aimed at resolving the UEFI CA 2023 issue, which is basically a compatibility problem that has affected Secure Boot environments on some systems. If you recall, we reported about severe boot issues on HP devices following the release of updated Secure Boot 2023 keys. For anyone who may not be aware, back in early 2024, Microsoft announced that it was updating Secure Boot keys as they were going to become 15 years old in 2026, which is also when they are set to expire. As such, the new 2023 certificates have been rolling out with the newest Windows 11 updates. Updated boot manager and Secure Boot certificates are crucial for protection against malware like bootkits. These are mandatory updates. Alongside that, the VentoyPlugson graphical plugin configurator was updated in sync with the release. The update also introduces a new VTOY_SECURE_BOOT_POLICY option within the Global Control plugin, giving users more flexibility in managing Secure Boot behavior. Ventoy has also received a fix for a startup issue when Secure Boot was disabled. Microsoft does officially allow users to boot systems without Secure Boot as long as the PC is Secure Boot capable. The full changelog is given below: Update secure boot shim file to solve the UEFI CA 2023 issue. The new release use a new CA, so you need to enroll the new key for the first boot time. VentoyPlugson update synchronously. Global control plugin add a VTOY_SECURE_BOOT_POLICY option. Fix the boot issue when Secure Boot is disabled in the UEFI firmware. You can download the latest version of the app here on Ventoy's official GitHub repo or from Neowin software stories.
    • Windows 11 is fine, no issues on any of the machines I've run it on since release. The stricter security requirements are a good thing, sometimes the baseline needs to change and people will winge, but it is what it is. Happened with the move from 9x to NT - broke compatability Happened with XP SP2 when security started to become a serious consideration Certainly happend with Vista that brought in UAC, the concept of not running as admin (something that has been the norm in Linux/Unix from pretty much the start) and a completely new driver stack. Windows 11 will probably get looked back at as the point where even consumer and SMB IT was dragged kicking and screaming into a somewhat secure by default configuration.
    • Bluestacks has been emulating Android on Windows for fifteen years. It's janky and riddled with ads though, so WSA looked like it was going to be a huge improvement over the emulator experience. Too bad Microsoft dropped the ball on that.
    • Classic. China would be nothing without Western, Japanese, and South Korean technology.
    • The world is larger then your small viewpoint. Plenty of scientists care about this, especially those involved in space.
