Did Apple officially releaes the Mac Mini and the Shuffle today?

[Nocturnal]

Any idea if mass amounts of both the Mini and the Shuffle were shipped to Apple retail stores?

my bio teacher has a 512MB shuffle (got it this week)

i know a few mac-heads who already have minis

 

[skim milk]

Yeah, they have it

i was at one of the fancy malls in orlando today and happened to stop by the Apple store
I saw the mac mini and the ipod shuffle

The mac mini is pretty tiny
the ipod shuffle you just plug one end of it into the usb port... sort of like a thumb drive and you don't have to deal with cords

 

[Nocturnal]

Any idea when CompUSA and various other retailers will start selling them?

I kinda like the iPod shuffle. It's a much cooler version of a USB thumb drive.

This is exactly why I want to buy it. For my CS class we're required to either bring a crap load of floppies or we can use a thumb drive. I'm opting for the latter.

What happened to the initial reports that the Mini wasn't going to be released until July? I guess none of those came from Apple. It's tempting. If I didn't have to purchase another vehicle, I would probably get one.

I believe it was released 1/21.

My FREE Mini Mac should arrive in 6-8 weeks, I cannot wait

Yes they do work but it's still a pyramind marketing scheme (not scam).

I was hesitant until freeminimacs.com came out, then I gave in to the dark side (and I'm glad I did).

RossMAN, just wondering which deal you tried for the mac mini -- I have yet to get credit for mine.

It's so sad that people would rather something that looks pretty than works.

Helping someone else get a Free Mac Mini first then it will be my turn. It isn't easy but it is possible

That's all I can say.

What fun would it be if I revealed all my secrets?

The Mac Mini works, I played with one the day after my b-day.

Well then we wouldn't have to cut you open like a furby
to find out what's inside.

There's already thousands of mp3 players like the shuffle already on the market. I bought mine 2 years ago. The only good thing about it is the extra space (1 gig version is nice). I prolly would have bought one if it had a lcd screen.

Right, but mac's entire marketing approach now is form first, function second. And if you want both (ipod) you're going to pay out the nose for it. Mac is big time trendy right now, and it's helping their market share beyond what the market would normally allow.

1. Form and function.
2. Why do you care?
