CUPERTINO, California — July 7th, 2004
Apple today announced that iPod mini, the smallest portable music player ever to hold up to 1,000 CD-quality songs, will be available internationally on July 24th. iPod mini offers music lovers the ideal combination of ultra-portable design, style, song capacity, ease-of-use and audio performance.
“The iPod mini has been a smash hit in the US, and we're thrilled to finally be able to offer it to music lovers the world over”, said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. “iPod has changed the way people listen to music and is now the number one digital music player in the world”.
iPod mini is the world's smallest portable music player to hold up to 1,000 CD-quality songs, weighs just 3.6 ounces and is encased in an ultra-portable, lightweight anodised aluminium body, available in five colours — silver, gold, pink, blue and green. iPod mini features Apple's amazing Click Wheel for effortless one-handed operation, along with the same award-winning user interface as the rest of the iPod family, and works seamlessly with Apple's iTunes, the number one online music store.
