This really sucks for those of us who don't have a new Mac. I have an iBook 700 G3 and was waiting for the 6 gig Mini. Now instead of $250 it's going to cost me $270. Kinda crap…

It's funny because when I bought my first iPod a few years ago (it was a 3G) it only came with firewire and I had to go out and buy a USB cable becuase I only had a PC (now I have …

So the 6GB iPod mini is the same price as the 20GB iPod? Considering that the 20GB comes with the FW cable and AC adapter, which costs $50 to add to the mini

How anyone could defend Apple's bonehead decision to not include FireWire cabling with the new line-up is ludicrous. This is a no-brainer, folks. I was all set to place an order …
