A sailor's view of the new iPod mini 4gb.
(this review is also in the apple forums)
I bought myself an iPod Mini (silver) for a few reasons. First and most importantly, to listen to music easily, i never cared much for cd's and I had a rio mp3 player at one time. Second, the mini in paticular comes in diff colors, and everyone knows if your going to buy something it should be in some color other then black (ford forgot about that). And third, I could take it with me anywhere and its pretty small.
I went online to apple.com, picked out my iPod Mini and chose the silver color, and i could even engrave this wonderful product, so I did what any pc loving person would do. deface apple property. I engaved on my iPod, "iPod Loves Alienware" (pic below to show how elite it looks next to my alienware. and it came time to purchase and put in my information, but what is this? apple dosnt ship APO/FPO? Now these damn terrorists pissed me off. I called them up and said listen here buddy, send me my ipod. and they said they could send it to a state side residence then that could be shipped FPO. I was mad, but i woulndt let them win. I made an account at www.shipitapo.com, a great busniess that helps people like me out in situations like this. I had it shipped to that address, which is really a routing address to my FPO address, and within 3 weeks I got my brand new, engaved silver iPod Mini 4gb.
I still think apple needs to let go of canada and start shipping APO/FPO.
Conculusion: If you want an iPod, live IN America, not from there.
