A pretty good little ipod and highly recomended for modding it to have bigger storage capacity and its easy to replace the battery (no soldering required). But its best to go for the 2nd gen iPod mini which has longer lasting battery life than the 1st gen. 1st gen battery lasts 8hrs and 2nd gen battery lasts 18hrs. If you don't mind charging the battery more often on the 1st gen mini then I say go buy one and the 1st gen has gold as a color choice which the 2nd gen doesn't, and I love my gold color iPod mini.

But it's not just about looks - the iPod Mini sounds fantastic. After comparing it with my third-generation iPod, tracks definitely sounded clearer on the iPod Mini, as if it were capable of better frequency response. By comparison the 3G iPod sounded positively muffled. A sign of PortalPlayer's enhanced audio chip, perhaps. The Mini's packaging is as lovely as ever. The box lid slides off to reveal the mini wrapped in plastic. The box underneath is split in two halves - one for the install discs and one for the headphones, USB cable and a belt holster. As with all the new iPods there's no Firewire cable, no dock, no remote - but they are available as optional extras. There's no AC adaptor either, so you can only charge when connected to the PC. There are other missing features that might give pause for thought, such as a radio, recording function and microphone. But if it's just a player you want these absences won't be noticed. For me the only reason I wouldn't want one is that I do want to carry my entire music collection around with me. Or at least more of it than I could fit on a 6GB drive. One day of course, a 20GB iPod will be this size, but for now six gigs is your limit. At this capacity it no longer loses out to the Zen Micro and H10, but while Creative and iRiver have both worked hard on improving the look and usability of their players, the Mini is still miles ahead. With its rounded sides and neat click-wheel interface, it feels right in you hand and is easy to control and use too. Verdict With the new iPod Mini, Apple has increased its capacity by a 50 per cent, battery-life by one-and-a-quarter times and improved sound quality. It's a pretty impressive triple whammy and as long as its capacity is large enough for you, the iPod Mini would be our recommended digital audio player. jamieday83Read full review
I love the iPod mini in general, it is very small and durable and you can get them quite inexpensivley on eBay. The only problem with this 1st Generation model is that the batteries only last up to 8 hours -and that's if the battery if still perfect and you don't change your songs much. These are notorious for the batteries going bad early and needing replacement. Consider the 2nd Generation (M9800LL/A) series for double the battery life and longevity. They are identical in other respects except 2nd generation models have the capacity (i.e. 4GB, 6GB) printed on the back of the iPod.
The iPod mini was a great invention and integration for Apple. They're very durable and reliable. The newer products are becoming extremely fragile, difficult to use, and expensive to fix. I am a very tech savvy person, but I strongly feel that Apple should NOT have discontinued to mini because of how great of a product it was. It also had a great price point. Any mini you can find; buy it!! I promise you will be very happy with it.
The ipod mini was a great ipod its a classic and nano put together in my eyes. The ipod mini was discontinued.. its was discontinued because the battery dies very fast also you need to replace the battery almost every 9 months. the ipod mini 1st generation is a ipod to collect not use.
