Absoloutly great MP3! I was going to buy a ipod shuffle but then i saw THE IPOD MINI. It costs twice as much as the ipod shuffle, but here are things about why i bought the ipod mini: It has a great sized screen. It has four games like parachute and music quiz. It has a great belt clip. It stores upto 1000 songs (approx. 4 mins per song). It has a calender. It has notes. Its ear phones are top A+. It has a back light. It has has tones of itunes to buy via apple.com --- (infact today apple sold 500,000,000 itunes!!!!!!!! And it comes with any colour of 5. TOP RATED MP3. BUY IT, ITS SOMETHING YOU WONT FORGET!

I just got my PINK mini iPod this week. Apart from a few minor problems at the beginning with iTunes not being able to see the iPod mini and not having the right USB port for the two programmes to pair, all in all I would say it was pretty much worth it in the end. I haven't been able to put it down since I got it working.. The 4GB is more than enough for my collection of songs! It's small and easy to handle, looks very smart even in the pink colour.. Money well spent!

Great MP3 player, but battery life could be better. It isn't the all out best MP3 player for the money, but it's the smallest and coolest and that swung it for me. 4 gigs is enough to store hours of music and the iPod Mini is just sooo easy to use. Sound quality's excellent, looks good, and the small size outweighs any downside with the battery. Any case, just charge it while you sleep and it's ready to go when you wake up!

The Apple iPod Mini is the best small-capacity hard disc MP3 player on the out there. you can fit up to 4Gb worth of music on it, which equates to a very healthy cd collection. The Apple Mini has the same good looks, sound quality and ease of use as the rest of its family, but it's just in a smaller and easier to carry format. At the moment you can choose from any of the five colours. These things are in demand! I had to wait almost 3 weeks before it arrived but i'm over the moon!
