I don't have 40Gb of music that I would want to listen to so 4Gb would suit me fine.
Apple Computer is set to review the UK pricing of its iPod mini music player, launched on Tuesday, after complaints about a substantial mark-up for non-US

buyers of the device.
The iPod mini will go on sale next month in the US for $249 - which would translate to a UK price of £162 including VAT if today's exchange rates were applied. Yet Apple's UK arm announced on Tuesday that it plans to sell the device for £38 more, at £199, immediately sparking an outcry from the company's European customers.
Now a senior Apple executive has said the company will review its pricing outside the US, and blamed the high pricing on the continuing weakness of the dollar against other currencies.
In an interview, Apple vice president Greg Joswiak told Online the price announcement was "subject to change" and that the company would settle on a UK price "closer to the availability date, simply because of the volatility of the currency exchange".
The exact pricing would depend on the strength of dollar relative to the pound, he said. "What we don't want to do is lock Europe into a price now, see the dollar continue to weaken, and have done all of ourselves a disservice by pricing too early," said Mr Joswiak.
He also dismissed pre-show rumours that Apple had been considering launching a sub-$99 player as "something we don't want to get in to."
"That's why all this nonsense about us doing a $99 player was just that. We weren't going to do a player that does 30 songs - it's very uninteresting to us."

RoyalAli said:so £65 is a load of bollocks.
Just before Xmas someone at Apple supposedly 'leaked' info that they were shortly to announce a $99 iPod (bollocks), which someone converted to £65 (bollocks), which was then picked-up by loads of press including The Sun (bollocks).
So it was bollocks, yes.
