Asustek Computer has received OEM orders for the iPod mini digital music player from Apple Computer, according to market sources. Asustek is the second Taiwan-based manufacturer of the digital devices since Inventec Appliances also produces the iPod for Apple. Asustek will assemble and ship the iPod to Apple from its plant in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province (China), the sources said.

The iPod orders will help Asustek in working toward its goal of becoming a key provider of consumer electronics products, the sources noted. In related news, Inventec is expected to continue to supply Apple with its current iPod models. In addition, Inventec is also likely to secure orders for a similar version of the iPod from Hewlett-Packard (HP), the sources said. Apple and HP entered into an agreement earlier this year for HP to resell the iPod under the HP brand.

Asustek and Inventec both declined to comment on the report, citing client confidentiality

washingtonpost.com - Finally, somebody has outdone the iPod. After years of unsuccessful attempts by Creative, Dell, Rio, Samsung and others to knock Apple's MP3 player off its pedestal, we've got a player that makes the iPod seem like the oversize, clunky relic it (now) is.

In an effort to keep the iPod frenzy going, Apple has gone so far as to offer lower cost devices like the iPod Shuffle. But Apple is not the only one standing to makes some serious profits here. Nope, there are a variety of other companies riding on the backs of the computer company in an effort to turn a buck or two themselves….

Auvi SA1500: iPod Mini-Sized 20GB Player

Auvi SA1500: iPod Mini-Sized 20GB Player 08/23/2004 10:51 AM

Now this is the way to challenge the iPod: go smaller. While most players appeal to the nerd core by packing in tons of obscure (if welcome) features, the Auvi SA1500 tries a different tack, cramming a 20GB hard drive into a unit just a hair bigger than the iPod mini. Add in a 20 hour playback time and it's easy to call this one a contender even without having seen one in person. The price is too high; UK retailer Firebox is expected to have them on sale soon for around $450, although for whatever reason the UK always seems to get nailed with higher prices, so a US model would probably be cheaper. If they can get it out there, though, and not screw up the user interface, the SA1500 will definitely turn a few heads.
