These threads make me realize how stupid people are. Not for buying the Ipod Mini, but people thinking that everyon cares about having 40 GB of songs. I have 3GB and there is too much crap I dont like on it. Why would I, or half of the people who buy them, want massive storage space when we dont use it?

How long does it take you to listen to 40/20/15GB of music? How long does it take to listen to 4GB? I'd rather have 4GB of good music than 40GB of mediocre crap.

How many people even have more than 4GB of songs? Even then if you have 8GB of music, isn't the ability to carry half of them enough for choice? I'll bet that there at least a couple out of 1000 songs that you might feel like listening to at any given time you want to listen to music.

I have all my cd's ripped to my ipod. I love every single one of my cd's (I don't buy anything I don't like) they all take about 7 gigs ripped at 192. I leave it on random and let it play through which is the best way. If you have 3 gigs of crap, get some better music. I have 7 gigs of good music, so I use it and listen.
 
The mini is MUCH smaller than the regular iPod. Have you ever seen them side-by-side? The size factor appeals to a certain group of people and also competes heavily with the smaller flash-based MP3 players.

+ Some of us don't need 20GB of music. How the hell could I ever listen to 20 gigs of music. I like the size of the mini. It works for me.

in case you haven't noticed, the mini is MAJORLY backordered everywhere. people are practically at each other's throats to get ahold of one.


why? i have no clue. but that's what's going on. maybe cause it's in "nifty" colors.

because for some people, size matters.
