I’ve had my blue 4GB since the month after they came out, and cannot complain one bit! If they still made them, I’d reccomend them to anyone! I’ve dropped, threw, and fell on it so many times and not even a scratch!

i have had ma green ipod mini for well over a year now. i love it mostly for the cool colour green and its size is convenient :D the battery power is goin gud but not excellent.. last about 5 hours i think. the only part i dont like about it is how u hav to reset ur playlist if u get a new computer or something.. i had to do that recently.. aside from that.. its awesome.. too bad its no longer available :P

I had to send my Ipod mini back to have the battery replaced after 8 months non heavy use. How often do modern electronic devices breakdown??? Until I had an Ipod I would say they never breakdown. Now 18 months after purchase it needs a second replacement battery!!! Nice idea, rubbish quality. I have never been disaponted in a product as much as this ipod.

The battery life is very poor. I will never again buy anything from apple bacause everything they make seems to cause problems. I personally would like my ipod mini refunded as the quality of the item is ridiculous.

Okay, so the Ipod mini has a majorly cruddy battery. I love iTunes but dislike the mini. I’ll admit it is superior to other mP3s but sill, i want a toy that doesnt have so many technical difficulties.

Being the type of (in certain areas of technology) Technologically ignorant person that I am (I switched over from a CD walkman), the iPod mini offered superior battery life and for once I could laugh at my older brother’s mp3 player!

As a comment to the mini/nano wars, although the nano is technologically superior (on the terms of color screen, function etc.), the mini, for one, has a larger and therefore easier to use click wheel. Two, the mini is slightly heavier, allowing a person to remember that they have it one their persons.

i think all the ipods suck becuase like the battery lasts so little after you use it a couple of times. it’s rediculous

Was waiting 2 months to get my Nano, when I got it it was so tiny. I think I like the Ipod mini better, they should bring it back. I got mine for free anyway at Trialclix.com, so whatever… Apple can do better

Today I went to listen to my mini (got it summer of 2005) and it wouldn’t play any of my purchased songs. It would just skip over them until it got to a song that is from a CD. I plugged the mini into my computer and it updated and now will play them. Anyone have any idea why it did this???

I have a pink mini. It is the final ipod in a full circle i have traveled within the ipod family. My first was the 3rd gen, it was the hottest thing I had ever seen, then I had the 4th gen 20 gig, then I had the green mini, then the black nano.

I sold each one to get the next one and I must say I am so happy to have found another mini. tehy are all fine, its just for my hectic lifestyle the mini wins hands down. Its tough (metal) colorful (pink) and functional. The nano is too small for me and the color screen is cool, but I dont really need it.

So, after all the buying, selling, and trading I had to do I ended up finally realizing the best ipod for me is the little pink one they call mini.

I’ve only had my iPod Mini since Oct 05. I’m glad I got it when I did. I didn’t realize that they have discontinued it. I haven’t had any problems with it, & I hope I don’t.

Uhh well i havent even had mine for a year…and it already broke!! I full recharge and then it works for about 20 min and then it says there is no battery power left! My sister has the same one and hers no longer works either and also my sisters friends broke! So obviously they did something to make them stop working after awhile! I don’t want to send it in to get fixed because it is just as much money to get fixed as it is to buy a new one! They don’t even have them anymore anyways! Did anyone else have this problem?? or does anybody know if the ipod nano does this either! cause i really loved my ipod! and i dont think i would like any other mp3 player!

Apple made the biggest mistake in discontinuing the Ipod Mini. I have a blue 4G one and I love it. All of my friends are complaining about the Nano. It is just too thin and is not as cute as the Mini. Plus, it cost just as much money, while holding less music (only offered in 2G and 4G). That’s a rip-off!

Apple, give the consumers what they want, “BRING THE IPOD MINI BACK!!!!”

I personally like the IPod Mini MUCH more than the Nano. Sure, the Nano is smaller, but it’s more expensive (2GB for a Nano are $199, while a Mini is 4GB for $199) and the color screen is certainly not worth the price. Why would you care whether it’s a color screen or not? It only wastes the battery. The size on the Mini is more practical than a Nano. It’s small enough to fit pretty much in any pocket, but big enough to not lose it anywhere. The bright colors are great , too. But, my favorite feature, is that’s the “outer shell” is made of metal. You can sit on it, step on it, drop it, throw it… whatever! It will not break. I garantee it.

My son bought the mini a few ago and really liked it.but now the Ipod video’s are out and he wanted to upgrade. So I helped out by buying his mini off him. I think it’s great.Holds all my tunes and sounds and looks really good. And surprisingly the battery lasts at least the full 8hrs advertised.

I really think the apple iPod mini’s are worth the $200 price and that apple made a mistake by discontinuing them. So many people want them, and today I ordered a silver iPod mini off of ebay and apple could make much more money by restocking them. All my friends have them and it is incredibly easy to upload songs onto them and to use the high capacity storage. I’m only worried about the battery, I hope it can take lots of use.

I have a mini and love. My sister has a Nano and she loves it too. There is no reason to knock either model. They are both great. It’s just what you prefer. By the way, the color screen is on the nano because it also stores photos and they wouldn’t look very good on the non color screen. Wouldn’t you agree?

I bought my iPod mini with my own money and I’m glad I did it is by far my favourite thing. I neer get tired of it and it is always with me. The sound quality is awesome and I can fit all my music on it. They are soo much better than the Nano, which is way too small and it looks so weird (the click wheel is so tiny!). I agree, who needs a colour screen when you have such great sound quality and all your music in a colourful little cute Mini!

Apple have made a huge mistake with the release on the iPod Nano. Comapared with each other the iPod Mini wins hands down. Your listening to music after all, not looking at the colour screen.

Well what can I say, it out takes all competition. Great design and excellent sound quality, however I agree that those earphones are not allways compfortable. The reason I wont give it a ten is becouse of those earphones. IÂ´m Looking forward for next generation of AppleÂ´s mp3 players! Have a nice day.
