MP3 Players

[bimmerphile]

yeah, I'm planning on buying a 'protection plan' with my player...I have one for my digital camera, and I dropped it after about 6 months. Since the store no longer had the exact camera, they gave me credit for the value of the camera towards a new one, I was very happy.

The APP wont cover it if you drop it and mess your shit up. Onyl if the battery dies, or a malfunction with the player/accessories.

As far as the Mini, there's a 8-12 week wait.


Funny thing I learned, is most people see the iPod as another "mp3 player" and not a "mobile mp3 collection." What I mean by that is, a lot of people that have owned smaller capacity players treat their iPods the same way; by plugging it in, loading the songs you want, and then taking it with you. A funny thought, because I bought a 30 gigger to be able to sync up my whole library and carry it with me.

Not like I ever listen to all 16 days worth of music, but I know it's there.

every best buy i've been to, both here and in DC, had at least 4 minis on the showroom. *shrug*

To be able to sell? Or just as demo models?


There's a manufacturing shortage (the manuf. that made the 4GB chips had a plant burn down or something). If you can buy em, I'd pick one up and sell it on eBay. I've been looking for a pink one for tara, and have seen 3 go for way over the MSRP, 2 of which went over $300 ($50 over list).
