They're not out of their fucking minds. The original iPod mini - in January '04 - was a non-flash 4 GB hard drive also for $250, $50 less than the 10 GB available at the time - and became their best-selling iPod. I thought it was ridiculous as well - if anything, a gimmick to up the sales of 10 GB iPods - but as it turns out, yes, people want something that "looks cool" and many of them just don't NEED more than 4 GB of music.
