Price iPod Mini Malaysia

The iPod mini is a division of the iPod line designed and marketed by Apple Inc and it is a digital audio player. It was announced on January 6 2004 and was released at the end of February, same year. The first generation of iPod mini featured a smaller design and it was available in 5 vibrant colors. In this device was also incorporated the "clicking wheel" technology and it was marketed in the only version of 4GB. A second generation of iPods mini was released on the market at the end of February, 2005. It was available in the 4GB and 6GB storage capacity versions, and it also included brighter color variants, of pink, silver, blue and green. Far improved from the first version, was the battery life which went up from 8 hours of audio playing to 18 hours of audio playing for the second generation of minis. Both generations were almost identical, the only differences being made at the battery life and storage capacity. Also, due to its unpopularity, the golden version for the second generation was discontinued.

However, it seems that this type of iPods were only the beta version of the following released products, as they were replaced soon after by the iPod Nano generations. The Nanos were even smaller and were first introduced at the end of 2005. They were also the first iPods to use flash memory, and with a 2.2 inch diagonal and the ultra slim and small design, the success was close. Since its introduction on the market, the iPod Nano line went through 5 generations and each generation was even better. The current fifth generation of the Nano was released in September 2009 and it is the first iPod product ever to have a video camera enclosed. Latest version also features a FM radio, a larger screen, video recording, a microphone for audible memos, and some pretty cool effects available for its camera. The price is rated somewhere between $149 for the 8GB version and around $179 for the 16GB version. It also includes Live Pause, a built-in pedometer, Nike + iPod Support and speaker.



Also, the fifth generation of iPods is available in 9 colors, including Silver, Black, Purple, Blue, Yellow, Orange, Product Red, Green and Pink. As you might have been used from the forth generation of nanos, the Product Red and Yellow Nanos are only available for purchase on the Apple online store as well as on Apple Retail store.



Even though prices should be almost the same in all countries, it appears that unlike other countries as Japan, or Singapore, Malaysia's capital, Kuala Lumpur lacks iPods. The real problem seems to be the price, as iPods are sold here at markups of 30-40% over their US figures. Yes, the country is modernizing and is filled with impressive architecture, but average people don’t live in these towers, and their incomes can’t easily afford purchasing iPods. Under these circumstances, how many would actually pay a price of almost $250 for an unnecessary product, such as an iPod mini/Nano?
