So where's that 5GB iPod mini?

The Rio Carbon has one.
Virgin's new MP3 player has one.
Creative's Zen Micro has one. Dell's new Pocket DJ has one. Heck,
even Packard Bell's PocketM@estro has one. Which is why Lindsey over at PlayerBlog raises a good question: Where is the 5GB (or 8GB or 10GB) iPod mini we're all waiting for?
There were some rumors that Apple would max the mini back in August (along with some new colors), but since 5GB drives that are the same physical size as the 1-inch 4GB drives they're currently using have been turning up in competitors'
products for a few months now, it's only natural that Apple would raise their game and intro a new 5GB iPod mini in time for the big holiday shopping bonanza that awaits us.
