Although I have yet to purchase, I have 2GB of music on my PC at the time, so the MINI has more than ample storage.
I decide on the 4GB iPod Mini Silver because of its convient size and 4GB is enough for most people, 20GB and above is just excessive. 1,000 songs is quite enough for me thank you!
Anywho the good points, as I mentioned above the size is amazing and its really light! I take it everywhere with me, and although a belt clip does come with the iPod mini, I would recommend purchasing the Belkin leather iPod case to avoid scratches on such a lovely investment.
The scroll wheel is amazing, you can control the sound and head onto any of your favourite songs just by moving your finger up and down the touch pad! Yes the iPod does come with games, but I don't really pay attention to those and I doubt anybody else would unless they were stuck on a desert island, they are pretty simple and un-exciting, but then again thats not what the iPod was designed for and is merely an extra.
iTunes is simple enough to use, I put around 380 tracks on my iPod mini in around 2-3 minutes.
Battery does not last 8 hours! It lasts 4-5 MAX. Thats not a problem for me as its quite enough, but it would be nice if apple wouldn't lie in their product description.
I recommend it guys, its stylish, it has the wow factor, amazing technology, high quality music at your finger tips! Go for it :)
My two gripes are as follows: Battery life sucks. About 4 hours of playback and its dead. That's pretty poor performance - and after a year or so you have to replace the battery entirely.
Second, very few of the cool peripherals apply to the mini, only to the full size. Be careful that the itrip, external battery pack, etc that you want can work with mini 'cause many can't.
I love this MP3 player, despite its faults, and after all 2343 million people cant be wrong.
