Verdict of Apple iPod Mini

Overview

The Apple iPod is a phenomenon. The portable music system launched in 2001 had sold a million by 2003 and has sold many millions more since with the help of endorsements by celebrities and a new generation of techno-consumers hungry for the latest portable music products.
Not surprisingly the iPod Mini launched in 2004 continued the success story and our reviewers have been generally happy enough to recommend it to others.

Features and Review

There were initial concerns from some reviewers about this product's battery life but successively updated models have eased this and helped to maintain Apple's position as a market leader in the MP3 market.
The Mini improved its storage capacity up to a whopping 6GB at the last count and battery life from eight hours to 18.
Smoothing out these problems helped the majority of our reviewers agree that purchasing an iPod mini was a valuable lifestyle choice.
Most visitors to reviewcentre.com have said the iPod Mini does exactly what it says on the tin - it's a portable sound system with good audio quality contained in a tiny credible design.
The Mini now also includes automatic synchronisation with iTunes via connection to PC or Mac.
Not surprisingly industry experts have found very little fault with the iPod Mini either.
PCMag.Com said: "The Apple iPod is the player by which all others are judged, from the packaging to the cables to the feel of the controls. The iPod Minis screen, though smaller than that of the original iPod, still makes you wonder why other manufacturers can't produce displays this readable."

Conclusion

The iPod Mini quickly became the standard bearer for medium-capacity MP3 players throughout the world - one of those popular consumer items which define a generation due to its iconic and groundbreaking appeal.
It has lead many companies to imitate its design and interface.
Apple, a brand which continues to innovate, recently revealed it is replacing the iPod mini range with the smaller flash-based iPod nano. Watch this space and keep those reviews coming.
