Eh, I’m hoping I can pick up a cheap iPod Mini now that they’ve been discontinued.

Well, it’s still charging, so I can’t really report anything (apart from the fact that it’s absolutely _DROOLISHOUS_), but it’s tiny. I mean, it’s really tiny. Read all the reviews you can, and even after you’ve seen the word “tiny” about eleventy billion times, when you hold it in your hands, you’ll truly understand that meaning of the word “tiny”. I would wager that would be even more so for ya’ll huge 'merkin paws. 😛

It’s also already showing fingerprints. :o

Nice hands…very well kept fingernails as well. What were we supposed to be looking at?

The credit card is about the same size as the Nanu nanu, and it looks pretty damn thin, too.

I hate you.
Mine doesn’t come until tomorrow.
How long to they take to charge? And what are the must-have podcasts?

Ohhhh…the iPod. Guess I was focusing on the wrong thing. I noticed the ring not being on the married finger and being recently singled and all.

Well, it’s still charging, so I can’t really tell you how long it takes… and the best part is, I only ordered it at 5am this morning! 16 hours later it was in my hands, and a student discount on top of everything. 😃
The smaller clickwheel is kinda fiddley, but then I haven’t had an iPod before this, so I dunno if it’s more or less fiddley than the full-sized version.

Damn, how did that work? I ordered mine on Thursday, they shipped it on Friday and I had to pay $10 extra for 2 day shipping.
I shoulda told 'em I was a student. I am, more or less. Aren’t we all students of life?

Well, I hate all of you, since to be able to afford such a thing, I’ll need a better paying job. 🙂

AAAAaah!
Hubby just emailed me… FedEx just delivered my iPod, a day early.
And I’m stuck here at work. I wanna go home and play with my iPod!

Mwhahaha.
Mine’s fully charged and synced… and I’ve got practically all of my entire library on it!
Meheheh. Mweeheehee. _warm and fuzzy_
[size=1]Well, honestly, it’s just an mp3 player. It’s small, it’s got a decent capacity, and it has a clickwheel. That’s just about all the justification that I needed to get it.

Is there a chance this will happen? Because I will be so excited if that is the case!

I bought my 40gig model (not a color screen) right after they discontinued them & I saved about $120 from what they were charging for them. I’d guess that you’ll find minis now for about $50 off. Check the iPod store at the apple site for “Special Deals” and see what they have.

Is it just me, or do they seem somewhat overpriced? I’m looking at the price on [apple.com](http://apple.com), and you can get the 4GB nano for $249 or the 20G full sized iPod for $50 more.
