My personalized one has shipped and has a tracking number.
Delivery on the 20th is the estimate according to FedEx.

vdrummer · Feb 16, 2004, 11:27 AM

mine is expected on the 20th as well.

DeRobeHer · Feb 16, 2004, 12:44 PM

Mine is expected on the 18th. It's in Taiwan right now, making it's way to PA. I ordered it after the keynote.

Minty Fresh · Feb 16, 2004, 01:06 PM

Same here....says shipped! Due on the 20th.

I ordered on 1/6/04 w/ engraving. But my dock still has yet to ship. Maybe it will go out today as well....it's on or before is still 2/17/04.

Can't wait....will take pics as soon as it comes in!

Minty Fresh · Feb 16, 2004, 01:27 PM

Looks like the link has reached its bandwidth limit.

Minty Fresh · Feb 17, 2004, 12:23 PM

Hmmmm...here it is the 17th, and my mini has shipped, but my dock hasn't. I wonder why? Anyone else order a dock?

Minty Fresh · Feb 17, 2004, 11:02 PM

Okay...checked again...and it actually looks like my dock has shipped. And will get it on the 20th with the mini! SWEET!!!! Can't wait.

Wow....how did you get it so early?

spectreman · Feb 18, 2004, 12:26 PM

I don't know how I got it today, but it's here. The interesting thing is, I order a silver one and a pink as SOON as the Apple store had them online after the keynote, and the Silver one arrived today, but no word on the pink one. I wonder what that's all about?

Anyways, I will take some pictures here shortly and I will post them.

Yeah...I ordered a silver one as well, like 2 hours after the keynote...and it says it's scheduled to get here on the 20th. Weird!

Yeah...get those pics up!

spectreman · Feb 18, 2004, 12:45 PM

Cripes! The battery on my camera died!! I am recharging it right now. I should hopefully have the pics up within the hour. I will post the link when it's ready.

Sweet pictures mate

What's that little sony machine lying there in the size comparison pics !!

spectreman · Feb 18, 2004, 04:33 PM

It's the Clie UX50 PDA

Ambassadeur · Feb 18, 2004, 07:36 PM

Thanks for the pictures!!

Enjoy your mini!!

I feel so bad having to wait several more months before they ship it over here in Europe...

KeyLimePi · Feb 19, 2004, 09:42 AM

Yes, great pics. Thanks for showing us something to give it a sense of scale. My GF's is set to arrive Friday. Enjoy yours!

spectreman · Feb 19, 2004, 10:14 AM

Dudes, thanks for looking at my pics. I've apparently exceeded my bandwidth and it won't be back up until the first of March.

If anyone REALLY wants to see them, let me know and I will find a different place to host them. Otherwise, I imagine that you all will be getting yours soon.

mbperk · Feb 19, 2004, 10:26 AM

Well I just received mine, and it was slated for delievery tomorrow (2/20/04). I was checking the status this morning and to my surprise it was in Greensboro this morning heading my way.

This baby is so small....love it. The new scroll wheel is a winner. No doubt the next iPod will have it. I intend on keeping my 15GB iPod and I will use this mini for working out. My iTunes library is just a little over 6GB so I will have no trouble fitting most of my music on this sucker.

For those that ordered one....it is worth the wait. And Steve was right, pictures do not do this thing justice. Fits great in the hand.

Another great design from Apple, this thing will be a winner.

I took some pictures, but my cable to load the pics is at home. I will post them up on my website around lunchtime. Any request for comparison? I took some with a business card and my Samsung a530.
