I was saving up for a 40GB iPod…

Is it just me, or has Apple discontinued these? They also seemed to have lowered the capacity of the photo from 40GB to 30GB. I wonder why they would do such a thing?

The 6GB mini looks cool though, and I might just have to get this instead.

Check the “Special Deals” section on the online Apple Store – you can get one of the “just supplanted” iPods at a discount while supplies last.

Reading my mind, **rjung**? I’m seeing the 40GB photo for $379 (from $499) and I’m quite tempted.

Those fuckers. I JUST ordered a mini iPod like three days ago, and they sent me an email that says “We don’t make gold ones anymore. Sorry. You have to change your order” All I wanted was a gold iPod. I guess now I will get the green $200 one, which is the 1000 song one.
