| Just a question about the ipod, when you go and look at one of these things, do you ask about "The Battery Problem"? If you look at the ipod it's a sealed unit with no way to replace the recharchable battery once its life has run out, and people say it's good for a couple of hundred recharges and lasts about 18months to 2 years, meaning once it's dead you have to throw the unit away and buy a new one - neat idea from the makers! |

| Hey did you guys hear? If you have an original ipod, Apple have agreed to pay out a fifty dollar voucher to everyone as compensation for the battery problem. Not sure how you'd get your hands on it here though. |

with that 50 bucks we could get 2 batteries :P |

| I Would also like to know how cheap the iPod mini is in Dubai? It does'nt matter which coinage, but would like to now the price for a iPod mini 4 GB and 6 GB? Also - is is cheaper to buy one over a online shop, than in real life Dubai? If it is cheaper via the Internet, which site is the best/cheapest? And can you buy iTrip in Dubai - you can'nt in Denmark, because it's illegal to transmit radiosignals, due to an old law from 2. WorldWar?`! :roll: Looking forward to hearing from you! Please let me know as soon as possible! |

| Well the price of the ipod mini 4GB has reduced drastically since they introduced the 6GB (which is also the exact moment after I bought the 4GB one grrrrr)...I bought the 4GB for Dhs 999 but the 6 GB costs about that much now....I think the 4 GB is around the Dhs 700-800 mark ...you have the more compact ipod shuffle as well now...512 MB/1GB...One retailer had an awesome offer for an iPod 40GB with the iTrip for just Dhs 1499...don't know if thats still on...but I would have gone for that meself had I not already bought the mini Much better to buy in a real shop in my opinion....I think a good place to get it cheap is Jacky's Electronics (in city center)...or Jumbo Electronics...browse around a bit though am sure you'll find the best deal...not sure if its available in Carrefour, which is this major hypermarket that has a lot of stuff at the best prices including electronics Oh and the iTrip is very much available here...I can't live without it :) Though sometimes the sound quality can be compromised obviously since its a radio frequency...Its 175-200 bucks ....highly recommend getting the car charger as well coz the iTrip is extremely heavy on the battery...I think they have a car travel kit that has both (though its not the Griffin iTrip but another brand...not sure how good it is though) for about 250-300Dhs Not sure if the info is spot on...but should give you a ballpark idea Oh and choc, that's pretty disturbin news about the battery! 2 years is not enough after having spent a decent amount of coin on it Take care, Nik |
