Apple's highly popular digital audio player iPod mini will be launched outside the United States on 24th of July. The expected UK retail price for the device is £179 ($332, €268), but Apple has warned that it most likely can't meet the expected high demand until September which might tempt retailers to push the prices higher at least temporarily.
iPod mini is essentially a smaller and cheaper version of the original iPod, with smaller HDD storage space. iPod mini has 4GB storage space, while the top "big" iPod model has 40GB HDD in it. The device is compatible with songs purchased from Apple's iTunes music store that launched in the UK, Germany and France 15th of June.
The global launch of the iPod mini was delayed earlier this year because Hitachi, who makes the mini HDDs for the device, couldn't meet the high demand. The device has been a hit in the States and is expected to become one of the most popular digital appliances in other countries as well.
