I'd love to be one of the new Duke freshmen getting one on arrival, though :)

Another piece of the iPod announcement today...:D

I've never used an iPod Mini and have never seen one so I'm not quite sure what the click-wheel is like.

The wheel actually clicks IN where the buttons are. And yes, I would love to be a Duke Frosh too, too bad my grades arn't that good!

To respond to a few things...

No there aren't 60GBs... Apple denies that they're doing ANYTHING with 60 HDs, but they've already placed an order for a bunch.

The $100 less isn't real.... yeah, it's less but comes with fewer accessories: no case, no remote, etc... they're all optional now.

Here's another cool feature of the new pods: USB charging!

As for me, I don't think its worth it to sell my kinda-new ipod for this... it's not better enough.


I'm just waiting for the new iMacs.

Alright so here is the deal I am getting my FIRST paycheck on friday and I think I am going to go to the Apple Store that night and pick one of these suckers up.

I have been thinking about that one thing I want to buy this summer and I have been thinking iPod (and the release of the new iPod is just good timing). I think I might miss the remote but not the case.

I will let you know how things go.

Good luck, only one Apple Store is known to have ANY in, but they may be in by Friday. Tell us how they are.

*edit*

iPodlounge.com got a 20gig, and seems like all Apple Stores are now saturated with the new iPods, but they are flying out quick! Here's some photos...

They'll have a review up soon.

I bought mine on the Apple Education Store Online. It is $269 plus tax (no shipping charges though). It is scheduled to ship today, I hope.

Also I got mine name engraved there for free. So if you want an iPod the best place if the Apple education store.

I recently bought a rio kharma....but then I got a hard drive error, and had to return it. I found a deal on amazon though for the new ipod (which I will be getting)...299..no shipping, and you recieve a 50 dollar amazon gift card.

I just recieved my new ipod today and love it. I've heard a lot of complaints about the interface etc. , but I have to say I really like the clickwheel. Another odd thing I noticed is the screen. On www.ipodlounge.com they said the new ipods would have a bluescale screen, but the one I got has a greyscale.

I got a 4G just over a week ago and I love it. The only complaint I have is that the thing is a freaking scratch magnet when ever its exposed, I accordantly let my ear phones get close to it and next thing I knew I had a nice scuff and a few scratches. I tried using a 3G before, but I found it kinda nonconforming with out clicks and such, so I really like the click wheel.

What they mean is that the backlight is really blue, almost purple.
The screen is normally regular.

It's funny how obsessed you guys are over how new they are...my friend had an early order of one of these months ago when school was still in session. ^^ She also got it really decently priced and engraved for free. It was pink. A lot of stuff like this you can get for better prices before it's out and there's a rush...

Yarr...I got my 3G at the beginning of June a 40 GB for something around 350 after coupons and such...and now of course they come out with a new, cheaper one. Note to everyone else: never go within 500 feet of a casino within my prescence.
