IlliniPi Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 I think everyone wants the 40GB iPod. As for if they can afford it, thats a different poll. :/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/129462-poll-ipod-or-ipod-mini/#findComment-1562245 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmoove Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 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.

session Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 iPod, since iPod mini is only 50$ less :/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/129462-poll-ipod-or-ipod-mini/#findComment-1562290 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuBHuMaNGuY Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 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. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/129462-poll-ipod-or-ipod-mini/#findComment-1562295 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmoove Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 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).

rocks1985 Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 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.

Steven Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 If we're comparing mini to Ipod then look at the price: 4GB for 249 or 15GB for 299 :rolleyes: iPod (15GB) hands down better!

theBangtheWord Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 isn't the iPod small enough as it is? - as a gentleman having fingers of slightly wide proportoins, I find it hard enough to work the controls! - we dont need them any smaller!

b mitchell Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 If the mini was 150-100, then it would be worth it. Jobs said that Mac was cheaper.....yea right. Good going Apple *rollseyes*.

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.
