matbon0013 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2004 Oh! I forgot to add that I just came back from long holiday trip and took alot of pictures and guess what?! Besides entertaining me with the music (around 14hours worth) that I have in the iPod, I also managed to save around 300-400 high resolution pictures from three digital cameras and a some 30 short mpegs from a 128KB sony memory sticks via a third party linkage. Isn't that cool or what? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Necroist 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2004 I think I prefer the previous version's design. Anyways any idea when it'll be released locally? Would love to get it for my friend's Bday. According to Apple Store Singapore, it will be avaliable on the webpage on april. So I presume it will be here at April. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scriberex 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2004 Two more things potential buyers may want to consider is the fact that: The new miniPod will cost US$249. That's about US$100 more than the rumor sites had posited. It will offer 4 gigabytes of capacity on its hard drive. By comparison, the entry-level iPod now costs US$299 and has 15 gigabytes of disk space. The miniPod's cost per gigabyte is US$62.50. In the entry-level iPod, it's about US$20. The lifespan of the ipod battery about 500 charge/discharge cycles (estimated at 18 months) has also been a big area of criticism. Check out http://ipodsdirtysecret.com/ for a hoot, and http://ipodbatteryfaq.com/ for the more positive view. Apple has recently *kindly* offered users an extension of 1 year warranty for S$108, which includes battery replacement if it conks out within 2 years of purchase of ipod. But woe be you if it conks out a week after the 2 year period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N@Z 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2004 Too bad the entry level 15G iPod doesn't come with the dock as standard. I'd definitely jump! iPod's looking good so far for me as there is a Plethora of accessories & additional functions which will be of interest to me. Anyone know how much the 20G iPod cost in SG?

Scriberex 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2004 (edited) I was trying to off-load a brand-new 20 GB ipod just couple of weeks back for S$600. It got snapped up by someone else in another forum. Check out http://www.macuser.org.sg/yabbse/index.php...y;threadid=8604 for another ad, for S$630. Just posted today. No connection with me, though.
