Okay, everything’s done, and Apple’s website has been updated.
Funny: On the iPod shuffle page, there’s a picture of the iPod shuffle next to a pack of gum, with a caption that reads “Smaller than a pack of gum and much more fun.^[2]^” When you go to footnote 2 at the bottom of the page:
- Do not eat iPod shuffle.
Funny: On the Mac mini Design page is the notation, “Keyboard, iPod mini, dock, hands, AirPort, Bluetooth and PC sold separately.”
