This Thing's A Steal.,
June 12, 2005 Jared Gulick (Easton, Pa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Apple iPod 4 GB mini M9806LL/A (Green) OLD MODEL (Electronics)
I've toyed around with a few MP3 players in the past, and even bought a few only to return them all. They couldn't cut it. They just plain stank.
I remember when Apple came out with its 20 and 40 gig iPod models asking myself, "why would you need 10,000 songs?"
One-thousand songs will do just fine. Apple's four-gig model works perfectly. Great Idea. Now maybe, just maybe, if you're a traveling DJ doing weddings and getting 150 requests per night, the higher-capacity hard drives are for you. But to us ordinary Joes out there who only want to hear our favorite songs as much as possible, the Mini's for us.
I gave the iPod a four rating because it's a bit tricky to get used to the controls when you're used to the average buttons on a disc/standard MP3 player. They also could've dedicated more than the three whole sentences (if that) they gave to explain transfering music from iTunes to the iPod. It seems that they tell you to go to the instruction manual...Read more

The second-generation Ipod Mini is a hit!,

I went into the Apple store this weekend, planning to buy myself an Ipod shuffle to keep myself under the $200 mark while buying an Ipod, and what did I see but the newly released 2nd generation Ipod Mini, selling just within my price range!
This mini is totally worth the added cost compared to the shuffle. While I envy the shuffle's extremely light weight and even lower price, I'm glad to have the extra storage space on my Ipod as well as a much-needed screen. My ipod mini is pretty light, even if not weightless, and it has an amazing 18-hour battery life.
On the missing regular Charger: I haven't had any problems using the USB cable and connecting my Ipod right to my computer. Plus, so many people have ipods these days that I imagine I could always borrow someone else's charger if I needed it. And buying a new charger is always an option.

Simply the BEST!,

I recieved a green iPod mini back in September for my 14th birthday. Now it is July, and I have to say, I love my iPod.
Me, being the clumsy person I am, have dropped it more than a few time onto solid pavement, and it still works properly. It has never skipped or anything, and aside from a few scratches on the corners (from me dropping it), it looks pretty much new.
Even though it doesnt have a color screen, that doesnt really matter; when I listen to it, I'm not really looking at the screen.
My iPod fits into the palm of my hand. Sure, it's not as small as the Nano, but it's small enough. I keep the belt clip on all the time anyways...it makes it less awkward to handle.
My iPod is small enough for my lifestyle, and it's cute too! Many people have commented that they love my "cute, green iPod."
There is one drawback though, but I've still rated this product 5 stars because it's something you could easily avoid.
