Not so sure where this topic belongs but anyway, I've really been wanting one of these for ages, especially those new mini ones that have just come out recently (check out the apple store)... So, does anybody know where I can get one dead cheap, even from America?

Look at the Creative Jukebox ZEN.
They're cheaper and you get more space.
Ipods are like PS2s, they're overhyped and you don't get good value for your money.
Saying that, I think that was a bit of an understatement! Not much value for money?!? Look at Amazons prices for the differing products. 3X as much space for £10 less if you go for the ZEN!

My dear... The Zen is like a breeze block and limited in functionality. A better alternative is the iRiver. THough if your smart like me, get you iPod from the US and pay in $'s as the exchange rate is awsome ($1.8 = £1) so you'll end up paying almost half price for an ipod from the states and they work fine in the UK.
15GB Apple iPod: $249 = £131
20GB: $299 = £150ish
15GB Apple iPod: $249 = £131
20GB: $299 = £150ish
It plays songs and it's only slightly bigger...
What other functions could you want anyway?

They're only 4GB and not much cheaper at all so no point.
I can't see the point in the small ones, the other ones are fine, you're just paying slightly less for sonething smaller, plus being smaller you get less than a normal one...
I'd still go for a ZEN, they're much cheaper and you get far more. The audio options on both the Ipod and ZEN are pretty pointless, you just get your bog standard bass boost and other stuff such as different environments, like a concert hall...

I am off to NYC on April 9th so hopefully will pick one up. Exchange rate is good at the moment but $1.80 is a bit high for consumer rates. Went on Friday to get some travellers cheques and could only get them for $1.72 instead of the $1.80. Few weeks back got some dollars for $1.78 even though the exchange rate was something like $1.84. Those few cents dont make too much difference. Those prices above are wrong for $1.80 anyway. If you take the rate at say $1.72 then the 15Gb model comes to about £145. Also do those prices above include sales tax? As sales tax is another 8.25% on top of the orginal price.
