[blockquote]Apple has already taken 100,000 pre-orders for the iPod mini, the company announced yesterday. Apple's senior VP worldwide product marketing, Phil Schiller, described response to the new product as "off the charts".

iPod mini costs $249 in the US – that's just $50 less than the low-end iPod which offers a gargantuan 15GB capacity. Press reports before the announcement of iPod mini had speculated Apple would offer a sub-$100 device to compete in the flash-based music player market. The $249 price-tag Apple then announced generated a wave of criticism from users who believe that's too expensive. Does Apple think the price is right?[/blockquote]
