You notice you contradicted yourself, right? how could you view photos or play games without a screen?
Shhh! I'm not officially back yet.

The Nano IS a replacement. If you go to the Apple Store (online), the Mini isn't there anymore. The Nano is in it's place. Second, Apple isn't supporting the Mini and the Nano, other than warranties. Nintendo, on the otherhand, is supporting all 3 GBAs at once.
The ipod is kind of over kill, 20, 40 or 60GB. I know there are some people out there that might have GBs of mp3s but honestly thats a lot of empty room. I could only image making it into a very good looking exteral drive.
What? The iPod is mainly for music, but you can view pictures and album art on it. And the next iPod is rumoured to have videos on them. Plus you can use it for storing things.

Stop bashing Apple for stupid, and sometimes nonexistant, reasons.

Thank You triton. It does have a screen. And you dont need a needle. And it has an fm tuner to. Also usbc36, do you listen to all 15gb frequently. I mean like almost every song... didnt think so. For an mp3 player thats the price of an ipod shuffle, with the same memory, smaller, and with a screen, and an fm tuner, its way better than the competition. BTW, Im buying one tonight.

In my opinion, all you really need is 128mb, but its always nice to have more, even if you dont need it so much. Its ust nice to know that if you want to listen to a song, or show someone a song that youll have it.

On another note... Why does Steve Jobs only get $1 a year again? And how does he get money?

On yet another note... Isnt it weird how many products apple has released in the last few months? Think about it...
Mac mini
OSX jaguar or panther or tiger or whatever its called
Apple megamouse
Ipod shuffle
Ipod photo
Ipod nano
Ipod phone
Others?

Apple is the best there is with MP3 players, and that's obvious. If it's that small, how usefull could a screen be? The iPod shuffle is bigger, but you can actually TOUCH the buttons and you won't lose it. I mean christ it's as big as a keyboard key.

Steve Jobs gets paid only a dollar a year, and it has been this way since he replaced Gil Amelio in 1997.

However he gets tons of expensive gifts like the private jet and numerous other goodies, which make up for it and make him one of (if not the) highest paid CEOs in the US.

Plus he's CEO of Pixar, which pulls in quite a bit of dough... :P

its one square inch, the oled takes up one side of the cube, the controls take up another side, it has a lanyard earbud headphone and a lot of people would argue with you about apple being the kind of the MP3 players, me included, i think they are overpriced and lack features, i really dislike the ipod, you can get a lot cooler mp3 players elsewhere than apple

Being the founder of Pixar, which hasn't made a flop yet, he rakes in tons from that. He also gets benefits from Apple, such as his plane.

What the hell are you on about?

The Mac Mini got a slight upgrade to be wireless or something.

OS X Tiger was released back in April.

Mighty Mouse was released in late July/early August, and is the best Apple mouse to date.

The iPod photo is DEAD. NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION.

They've released the Nano and iTunes 5. The iPod phone isn't Apple's, it's a collaboration project with Cingular that allows iTunes to be used on it.

And secondly, does it MATTER if Apple released GOOD PRODUCTS all the time? WOuld you complain if, say, Namco released great, must have games every month?
