edpaffjr.comAfter a few unsuccessful attempts, I finally picked up my new iPod on Tuesday night from the GM of the gym. I ended up getting a silver iPod mini from the raffle they had after completing a survery. It appears that apple has just discontinued the minis with their release of the iPod nano. Even apple.com/ipodmini is no longer functional and is redirection to the apple store homepage.
Now the decision becomes one I’ve faced before. Should I keep this or should I sell? It appears that brand new minis are selling for $170-$180 on eBay. I really wish they would have given me a nano instead of the mini. The nano is about half the size of the mini and has even more functionality. It would be even easier to run with, although I’ve heard that you can easily run with the mini strapped to your arm. The downer is that the 2 GB costs $200 and the 4 GB (the size of the mini) sells for $250.
Feel free to toss in your .02
Ed- I would try to sell the mini and get a Nano. Actually if you go to Apple’s website and click under Education you can pick a school, say for example UMKC. Say you are student and they knock $20 off the Nano. I think they give better discounts for other iPods. I know several people who have done this and they have no problems. You going to John Mayer on Monday?
That’s not a bad idea, I may check out the discounted prices.
I will be at the Mayer show and taping. Thanks to a generous person for giving me a ticket for free!
