If the mainstream has the same mentality about the iPod they have about cell phones. The money will be paid for the size.

$100 bills are pretty small, I don’t have any problem ever losing them though. If you are going to pay $250 for your iPod or iPodmini, I’d like to think you would be able to keep track of it. I know accidents happen, but come on.

I don’t that’s such a big issue. People have small phones and I’ve not heard anyone complain about it being too small to keep track of. Most of the smaller phones are abou the size the of the min, maybe a smidge larger.

Yes, women can fit them into purses, but men also just stick them into the coin pocket on their jeans. It’s also most like it was designed to do so. Or simply clip it to your pant waist or belt. No need ot leave it lying around and rick leaving it behind.

How does a blog entry get put into the “News” section? This is just some #####’s random ramblings - hardly newsworthy.

Its here because you are not the owner of this site. Go start your own site and put stuff you feel newsworthy up on it… until then… if you dont like what they post.. dont come here…

I lose my cell phone and iPod constantly. Yeah they are small, but if you can’t keep track of these expensive devices then it’s your own fault.
I hate when people blame everything except themselves for their own stupidity.

I left my house once and forgot where I lived. I was so upset that I had lost all my stuff. If only someone had chained me to my house? Or perhaps installed a huge beacon so I could more easily find it.

kades: Thanks for letting me know. I’ll make sure my local independent Mac dealer relays that information to the 460 people on his iPod mini waiting list.

This excuse is riducous.
You’re using the same excuse Zen and other HDD based mp3 users use when trying to put down the iPod.

If you lose something…...Don’t blame the size of the object…...Instead - blame the size of your brain!!!
Pea brain…...........

what about all the Flash-based players? some of them are fcuking like a lipstick size - which reminds me, women have a solution called “handbag” where usually their whole life goes into it, and they always seems to have no problem finding things (sometimes by empying the content just to find that lipstick).
