Don't waste your money on something that will snap in half the first time you touch it.
Sure, it may be easy to take ABSOLUTELY ANYWHERE but there are terrible things that can happen because of this.

Save some money, buy a bigger, sturdier MP3 player.
I recommend the brand Creative or whatever it is.

I'm aware of the thin design and fragileness of it but i'm the person that looks after all my belongings, also i dont need like 5000 songs, so the normal ipod holds too much for what i need.

 

[biggles04]

Okay.
I'm not an Apple person.
The End.

 

[Riviet]

No! I need more feedback!

 

[thejosiekiller]

it seems like you want to be told to buy an ipod, but feel shit for being a commercial slut

biggles knows where its at with the creatives- im getting a new one 2moro

DON'T DO IT!!! ooops caps
i have a 40g iPod (normal) and they suck. mine's at the ipod doctor right now and i will probably have to get another replacement (this being my 2nd)
battery has no life, they screw up all the time. get a decent mp3 player not the prettiest one

I love the Mini.

Sure, Nano is smaller, but when it's that small, it's easier to lose. I think Mini is pretty much a perfect size. It still fits in your pocket but you can hold it in your hand, instead of between two fingers, scared of dropping it.

Also, there was that thing about the screen scratching.

i'll wait for the second gen. of ipod nano to come out

the first one has got far too many problems
note: check whiterabbit's nano threads in IT Stuff

yeah exactly
the only thing with the mini is that battery life could be better

dont be an apple consumerist whore ..

Google "nano scratch".

I dare you.

Buy a full size Ipod or a creative zen.

I'd wait until all the design flaws are worked out with the Nano... I admit that Apple support is great- they sent me a new iPod Mini after mine had a dead battery... but whilst the Nano is really strong (apparently you can drive over it and it'll still keep playing)- the LCD in a few of the first batch of production were weak... the Nano scratch site which was up before got taken down not too long ago because Apple agreed to fix broken Nanos.

yep me too. when do you think they will come out? i don't want to have to wait a whole year. and when the 2nd gen come out i will want to wait a few months so i am informed on the problems of them before i buy.

i don't think the nanos have had too many problems. the main problem seems to be the scratching, but i will use a cover anyway. i don't think it's a huge problem because it doesn't effect the performance and a cover can be bought.

Looks good, and is good, I recommend you get it

 

[Riviet]

I've decided to get it, going to shops on sunday

 

[bscienceboi]

I would rather spend th emoney on a mini and get it engraved at the same time.

Why? The only advantage I see of a Mini over a Nano is that it's overall exterior is less scratchable (sp?), some minor connectivity feature differences and that it has a higher capacity. Otherwise the Nano is superior in so many ways. Small size, durability, light weight, good music quality like the others, more physically robust flash based memory, has color display (Mini does not) etc. The Mini has been discontinued by Apple.. there's a good reason for that.. it's been replaced by the Nano (good move too, may I add).

Because with the student discount you can get an extra 2 gigs worth for $70 less (which I don't know if its offered anymore but second-hand ipods would be cheaper).

Maybe after a few months would I consider it, call me a tightarse but a colour screen and unnoticeable carry-in-pocket-weight difference won't persuade me to buy one....just yet.
