So, I can get a 4GB iPod mini for $249, or I can get a 15GB iPod for $50 more. What exactly would my incentive be to buy the smaller one again, other than a shiny blue case? Makes no sense to me at all, but I bet they sell a whole bunch of 'em anyway. It is awfully cute.

It's a large USB chip storage unit (like my keyfob ;) that also happens to play music well? I wonder if I could justify one for work as a data transfer device...

But why would I want around 1/4 of the storage space for close to the same price? Not that it matters; I'm not going to be getting an iPod soon, as the only one that makes sense if I want to rip most of my collection is the 40 GB version and I can get a non-iPod 40GB MP3 player for around $300. I like the iPod, I'd like to have one, but not when I can get the same capacity elsewhere for a lot less money. I care more about the storage capacity than I do about the shiny aluminum case and the fact that it's small. I already have a small MP3 player, now I want one that actually holds some music. =)

Durability and speed come to mind... however, this is a leading-edge product. Prices will drop significantly with memory drops...
