Same here. At least, I'd like to hold out for six months or so to see if any long-term problems make themselves known. I realize that the mini is just putting old tech in a new box, but still...the first gen of anything makes me wary (DAT walkman anyone?) I wonder what determines the length of a product cycle for Apple? Is it based solely on consumer demand or?? The problem with high-tech items is that the longer you hold out, the better a deal you'll get. Of course, there's the "envy factor," too. You know, when your friends already have the new shiny and you're trying to hold out for the next gen gear so your money will go farther... @_@ A cheapskate's lot is not a happy one...not that anyone on the list would know about being a cheapskate or anything...
