Gonna pick up a 1 gigger and see what happens. (Hope they have them at the store.) I think I may end up neglecting my 40 GB. I only really use the iPod at the gym and usually kee…

I have been at the Macworld Expo all day, but went out twice to the Apple store in SF. The line went out the door, and most people were buying more than one (I bought four). They a…

During the demo, the screen shot of iTunes showed an option for "Convert tunes to 128Kb AAC when loading to this iPod" (or words to that effect). I assume that's in real time and …

Just for fun... iPod shuffle wallpapers I made. Bright Green, White Text Bright Green, Black Text Dull(er) Green, White Text Dull(er) Green, Black Text

I'm buying one. Soooo tired of iPod 20 gig skipping while I run.

I love it. Personally, I'm getting a 40GB or 60GB model because I want it to hold my entire collection, but nevertheless the iPod shuffle IMHO is a great device that seems to make…

I have an iPod Shuffle that I picked up at the show. It's a very cool little device -- EXTREMELY light, and very small. Contrary to the name, you do not have to randomly play the s…

Moki, report back on battery life (ordered a 1GB model).

Which has the better design and is cooler?

The Cube was "cooler" but it was priced to fail. The Mac mini is designed to succeed where the cube failed... I see good things with the Mac mini.

people saw the cube and were like OH SH!T, is that a computer?! THIS Mac mini is the size of the Cube's bottom acrylic base. Two marginal words: BLING BLING!

The cube was a thing of beauty. The mini is the bastard love-child of the Cube and G5. It should have been white like all consumer macs. Guess they think it appeals to switchers m…

Cheap enough for Walmart

I realized when I frist time saw the Mac mini that it is the frist mac that didn't start with power, i, or e.(tell me if I am wrong)

I say the G4 Cube. Back in 2000, who could build this kind of computer and bring it to the world?

I think the Mac mini is designed for efficiency where as the the cube is designed to be more aesthetic.

Yeah, the Cube had more of an affect, and I still believe it is the most beautiful thing Apple has ever designed. The Mac Mini is cool, but it is no Cube. Different machine for a…
