Yup. 15GB are replacing the 10GB ones for $299. I suspect the iPod minis will drop to $199 after 6 months.
At the moment the minis are priced halfway between. It's $50 more expensive than the competition, but it's only $50 less than a full blown iPod. Like Steve Jobs said, he's after the high-end flash market, not us lot who will pay the extra $50 for an iPod.
That makes sense. Gotta know your market. I expect to hear about schools not letting kids take these to class soon, like phones.

And that's one LARGE business card.
Looks nice though and iPod seemed very popular in the UK. I can't make the switch since I don't want to go MP3 (and I'm not sure about iTunes)... it'll be a Rio for me, someday.
Steve Jobs has just announced the iPod mini: $249 for a business card sized 4GB MP3 player. And it comes in colours...

I heard for an extra $50 you get another 11 GB though. Hardly seems fair.
