Apple again claims that demand has been incredible, just like it did for the 2.5 GHz G5, but how many iPod minis have actually been shipped?
Quality problems have limited supply of the iPod mini, so the Apple spin machine goes into overdrive claiming incredible demand, and every Apple fanboy bought the story.
Judgin by the number of iPod Minis I see around NYC, plenty have shipped. Shame how all you can do is intimate poor figures without anything - not even empirical evidence - to back you up!
