Apple Offers iPod Upgrades For Delayed Mini

Demand for Apples iPod Mini has outpaced their ability to ship the product, so the company is offering free upgrades for those that don't want to wait.

Customers have reported receiving emails from Apple stating that they can either wait several more weeks for their delayed shipment or they can accept a free upgrade to a 15GB iPod instead of the 4GB Mini.

The iPod Mini is selling for $249 and the 15GB iPod sells for $299.

According to one Mac Slash reader, Apple sent an email stating “The demand for the iPod mini has been incredible. We are shipping them as quickly as possible, but we cannot meet the ship date we previously estimated for you. We now expect to ship your iPod mini in three weeks. If we do not hear from you prior to shipment, we will assume the revised date is acceptable, and will ship your order. We apologize for any inconvenience. Your business is very important. If you would like an iPod sooner, we are offering to replace your iPod mini with a 15GB iPod at no additional charge. This model usually ships within 24 hours.
