Mini-ipod - awesome. I don't have one, but my friend has, and I can't believe how small it is. You could lose it in your pocket.

On the subject of Ipod, has any one seen the new U2 Ipod, and the Photo Ipod?

The latter comes in a 60gb version, costs a bit more and you can have photos with your music!

Very cool.

I think you can get a student discount from apple thats if you are one I can! I do want a MP3 player but don't know which one! How is the battery life?

I think there is a Zen Video Media Player but its too big http://reviews.cnet.com/Creative_Zen...-30993434.html thats the only one I'm aware of!

have you heard of the new iPod Photo (I think thats what its called!)

I have!

If you are looking for a decent budget mp3 player, check out www.advancedmp3players.co.uk - the Oracom (me thinks) is around £87 and is 256mb.

Or the Rhomba (creative labs) which I have is very good as well, that retails about £100 from Amazon UK

or you can get a Zen or something that has like 40GB, BUT it costs £155 or something, however its rubbish, easily broken, hard to work and you don't want one.

the U2 is just an ipod thats black / red which looks really really nice, however its signed on back by U2.. No thanks..

I expect more than the Pod itself

Whilst not related to Apple, I had a Canon camera that went dead one day (about 3 days after the freakin warranty expired), and I called em up and said what can they do about it.

They told me I'd have to sent it to them, and it would cost £110 just for them to look at it, then added to that the cost of the repair, the extra packaging, etc plus VAT.

In the end it worked out to be cheaper to buy a new camera 2 models up from the current one then send it for repairs.
