$100 iPods Unveiled

 

At MacWorld in San Francisco, Apple unveiled a $100 version of its iPod Shuffle player which has 512 MB which is enough for 60 songs. An $150 version holds 1 GB of storage. Most competitor's products that cost $150 hold 512 MB of storage.

Apple also showcased its new $30 iPod accessories which include a dock, a iPod sports case and a 20-hour battery extender. While iPods appear to have dominated the expo, the $500 Mac Mini computer was on display.

The Mac Mini is Apple's cheapest computer ever, and it has a 40 GB hard drive, 256 MB of RAM and a 1.25-GHz processor. The Mac Mini that costs $100 more has an 80 GB hard drive, and a a 1.42-GHz. These computers are CPU only.

  common, a dollar? I'm sure there tax.  
 
I hate that 99 cent Psy-consumer crap anyway. I bought a USB-Dongle and it was $1.01. Now thats different.

But seriously... why would you post that some sources say 99? wtf? it's the same thing!

  i hate my ipod  
 
brand new and the battery seems to last a couple goddamn hours before exiring, not to mention it seems to scratch if you just wave it against thing air!?!?

  won't be popular  
 
the article failed to mention that the new low-budget ipods don't even have a display. You can play the songs in order, or you can shuffle them (hence the name).

Here's a link with a picture of it:

I have the same issues as you. I've tried all the tips for extending use of the battery but still last now more than 4 hours. It's covered in scratches too. Well I haven't actually seen my ipod in a couple weeks. It's gone for repairs. Lasted nearly a week before dying. My first ipod lasted almost a day, then it melted down. Still, when they work they are awesome little things!
