Well it's almost been a year since the mini iPods came out, and was wondering if anyone has heard any rumors as to what the 2nd gen mini iPod would bring. I would love to upgrade my 1st gen iPod, but not for something smaller. Could macworld bring the new version? or is this just a pipe dream?
Hoping for a 10gb mini!

I would think just 5 or 6 gigs if anything as that seems to be the highest the drive comes in now.

6 GB Hitachi drives are sampling in this quarter, with full production in 2005.
I'm hoping for a 6 GB mini at MWSF in January, although that's pushing it.
Interesting website by the way.

mini-HD MP3 player price has held steady even one year after iPod mini was release. Most of the players are around $250.
I will not be surprised to see that iPod mini does not receive any update in January or simply up to 5GB.

I dono if we'd see more colours. That said I don't know if we'll see another gig either way. Anyway I love my mini that's all that matters
That said what other colours could they add?
I think we'll see iPod tiny first.

Agreed. Orange? Purple? Gold? Who knows...

I would like to see them release a purple iPod mini. Maybe some sort of special edition white one? Can they make the annodized aluminum white? It would look cool if they could.

I've wanted a 6 Gig Mini for over a year! I was in the same boat where I didn't want to downgrade from my first Gen 5 Gig. It's since died and I have a couple more 20GB ipods, but I still lust after a green mini.

With how well all of the Minis are selling now, I would be surprised if Apple was to come out with a larger version now... it would just add cost. They already can't make enough of the 4GB models now.

5 or 6 gig drive, with a new colour... I have a theory on this.
iPod mini's are silver, blue, green, pink and gold.
iPod socks are grey, blue, green, pink, orange and PURPLE.
Purple 5gb iPod mini... 
|
It'll be much easier if you just comply.

The technology used for the iPod's future 80 GB drive will bring its tiny 0.85" drive to 8 GB... eventually.

Marginally larger hd. Seeing the popularity of the design, I don't think there'll be any changes apart from colors (maybe). Maybe a special edition iPod mini.
But don't expect much to change with the mini. Maybe they'll keep the model with the smaller hd and make it cheaper (then, I think, I'll become weak and buy one).

I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

i wonder how the ipod flash would do .. i am getting mini envy ... but the 4gb scares the daylights out of me .. same goes for 5... it seems like a heck of a downgrade from 15 ... =(

The Minis don't need to be that larger, 5 or 6GB would be fine. If not, one should jump to an iPod. I could see new colors to brand them differently than the 1G Minis.

I'd probably buy a 5GB iPod mini, if they end up being announced at Macworld. It's around the time, I will have the money for one. Even better would be if Apple dropped the price of the old ones to $299 Cdn (199 US). I don't feel they are worth $349 Cdn, so I've held off buying one till now.
At least when the new ones come out, I'll gain a GB of extra storage...

I could see Apple dropping the gold colour, I don't think that has been a very popular colour for them. I'd like to see an anodized black iPod mini.
