This iPod is much more durable then the new Nano. If you a user like me and want to be on the go with your player, be able to put it in the center console of your car or truck and not worry about easily damaging your iPod, this is for you. Because it uses non-hard drive memory, it is much less sensitive to shock or rough use, giving it a huge advantage over the new Nano. 4/5 because the 1st generation Mini has a very unreliable battery. Most of them go bad within first year of use. The good thing is, you can still purchase a brand new battery for it right here on eBay for less then $10 shipping included and it takes less then 5 minutes to replace the battery with minimal or none electronic repair experience. Hope this helps you in your buying process.
I found the apple ipod mini to be a pretty good consumer buy. It was fairly cheap compared to many of the other mp3's on the market and I use it everywhere. I love the concept that it can travl with me, to the gym, in my car and anywhere else I need it as well. It holds a good amount of songs for being a 6 gig mp3, with 800 songs on my ipod at the moment and a 1000 song capacity. It is easy to use for beginners or advanced mp3 users and comes with a good warranty. Overall I find Ipods to have made my musical life much more enhanced. I enjoy it everyday and would recommend this product to any mp3 purchaser.
I bought this product because i wanted to experience an iPod. I have an inexpensive mp3 player but I needed to know. Well, for the money difference I say the inexpensive mp3 player gets my vote. It sounds as good as the iPOd, but does not get quite as loud. (something that should not be that important.) The iPod is a little easier to navigate but the inexpensive player has just as many features. I paid $17.00 for the Mp3 player at JC Penny. The iPod I bought is a used one that was $28.00 from Nextworth on Ebay. I can't believe the resale on the iPods, but they are so very accepted and sought after. You're not in unless it's aniPOd and that is a shame. I so have to say I am very happy with the iPod and the price I paid.
I have had my Ipod mini for about a year now. My husband bought it for me when my Dell DJ died after a little over a year of use. The mini is cute and it's easy to download song for it, however there are some problems. First as most people know there are battery issues. What's the deal! The battery ALWAYS needs to be charged, I have to carry the charging cord with a plug ( that we had to buy seperate) to make sure I can charge it if Im not at home. When I called the hotline about it they just try and sell me a service contract, they won't do anything for you (just like Dell wouldn't) the other problem is that if you have a computer with different id's on them and you both have seperate Itunes on it, you can't combine the songs that you buy from Itunes. All in all I wish I had purchased a different MP3 player. It is just AVERAGE at best.Read full review
I have ordered 4 ipod minis and have only had a problem with one of them. The ipod that had the problem was not ordered through ebay. I have found that the mini has quite a few good features and it is pretty easy to add songs to them. My only issue is that the battery life could be longer. Battery life is pretty good but if you like to listen for long amounts of time you will need to charge the ipod daily (probably a good idea anyways).All in all, a great deal for the price.
