iPod mini Burnout
“I don’t know about you, but I am sick and tired of hearing about the iPod mini. Mind you, I love the thing and I don’t even have one. I think that the mini was the perfect next step in the evolution of the iPod line of products. How brilliant of Jobs and Co to introduce colors! Just like they did for the glorious iMacs of the mid-90’s. Now my plain ol’ white iPod looks bland in comparison. I guess white was last year’s beige. But with all the hooplah, “Hot Gadget of the Year”, “Must-Have of the Summer”, “Savior of the Earbudless Ears”, I am afraid that the mini is getting overexposed…”

So what makes you MORE of a dork than having an iPod?...
Why, posting comments to an iPod website, of course.

I think the Ipod mini burnout argument would be a little better if it wasn’t such a great product, using cars is a great example, I know a lot of people that think the ‘original’ beetle was a great product, it sold millions and it is still groovy. I know this is consumer electronics and all but I bet 20 years from now if you break out your old pink mini ipod, you’ll get some great responses. L8R G8R’s
