Well, it’s true. The sleek, cute and shiny iPod Mini has officially been replaced by the iPod Nano and, in fact, you can’t even buy a new iPod Mini through the online Apple store any more.
So where have all the Minis gone? To Costco, apparently! Because Costco is now selling iPod Minis through their online store for only $149.00 for the 4gb Mini! Not only is that a great deal, but it’s $10.00 less than the Apple store is charging for refurbed iPod Minis, which is apparently the only kind of iPod Mini you can buy from Apple now, at least as of a search of the online Apple store this morning.
And not that you wouldn’t be completely satisfied with your colourful new Mini, but in case you aren’t, the iPod Mini through Costco is “covered by Costco’s guarantee to refund your purchase price if you are not completely satisfied. Costco’s guarantee applies, even though this item may not be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.”
Woot!
