After six weeks of jerking me around, Apple has declined to provide me with either a Mac Mini or an iPod Shuffle for review. Talk about squandering goodwill (they must have studied the Dubya playbook). Here I was genuinely excited to cover the products in my Tech Savvy column (which reaches 325,000 readers), and now I'm just irritated. I understand that they have a limited number of eval units, blah blah blah, but don't keep me waiting six weeks with hat in hand.
