is no longer produced or sold by Apple.
Are you sure it is the Mini that you are referring to and not the Nano or the Shuffle?
The only iPods that are produced and sold by Apple are the Nano, Shuffle and the 5th Generation 30/60Gb iPod.

I wanted to buy an iPod mini, especially because a friend of mine said that they were new and improved from the one she has. But from looking at the CNET info, I can't tell if they are actually "new products". Are these iPods new? If so, why aren't they being advertised by the "big box stores"? This is going to be a gift so I don't feel OK about getting a new-in-box or refurbished item.
Any help? or recommendations?
