Introducing Ipod Mini

Dear Apple,
Stop improving the fucking iPod already. I can't be an early adopter if you want me to buy one every six months. Assholes.
Love,
Stereogum

i just picked up the 15 gig ipod in soho today. the minipod doesn't interest me because i dont want to be bothered with something that doesnt hold more songs, and esp. for that price. although i do like the new faggot colors.

They don't die after 18 months, so let's put this meme to rest, shall we?

Anyway, I don't really approve of this new line. I do like the colors (though I'd stick with white, since it matches my iBook and I'm a whore), but it's ridiculous that a 4 GB iPod mini costs $250, when a 15 GB iPod only costs $300. Aside from, say, WOMEN, who would ever buy the mini? Especially when it's not even that much smaller than the normal iPod? I think Apple's really shot themselves in the foot with this one.

I was really anticipating buying these as presents for people, sort of like an Apple equivalent of a gateway drug, but there's no way at that price. MAYBE if it was $150 or less.

have you seen whats roaming around the soho store lately? gay men, women, men who want to be gay and other assortied faggots. i use the term "faggot" in the general sense btw.

before i purchased my ipod today i asked if they were gonna make the regular ones in faggot colors and the worker dude looked confused or offended, i don't know,

So, if all the people in the store were "gay men, women, men who want to be gay and other assortied faggots," and you were in the store buying your ipod the other day, which one are you -- a gay man, a woman, a man who wants to be gay or another assorted faggot?

i got an ipod but i can't set it up. i tried to plug it into my compiter so the i-tunes stuff would magically transfer, but nothing happened. it just said 'don't disconnect,' but then the songs never got transferred to the ipod. what the?
