The people who are outraged are geeks. And geeks, who take the time to write about apple's latest product offerings and whether the price point is proper (like me, here), really care about things like capacity. To them (us), yes it seems outrageous that you would pay $250 for 4 gigs and $300 for 15. But, to most people 4 gigs is enough. I assure you that the current style-oriented iPod owners (who Apple is obviously targeting with the mini) did not do a price vs. capacity analysis when they decided to buy the original iPod. It was cool, other people had one, it was small, it held a "bunch" of music. Well... the mini is cooler, it's smaller, it still holds a "bunch" of music, and... it's a little cheaper. All this commentary is meaningful -- it shows that no geeks will be buying iPod minis. But who cares?
