iPod Minis Now Shipping Right Away

according to to our New England editor's experience. Dana Baggett wrote, "Wednesday night I ordered a personalized iPod Mini as an Xmas present. I received an e-mail dated 9:45 AM Thursday morning EDT that it shipped! It left Shanghai at 8:21 PM on Oct. 21. While there is a date/time difference, nonetheless that's pretty close to same day service, on a personalized iPod Mini to boot! A second, non-personalized iPod Mini on the same order shipped Friday. These two Minis are on a Free Shipping promotion at The Apple Store on-line."
