    General comments: the Apple iPod Mini is a durable ipod, that's easy to carry around with you and still respectable storage capacity.

    I love my iPod mini but the games I never play because they take the battery. Most of my friends iPods are hard to use but this is so simple.

    Over the last few years I've became a total Apple fan. Everything from ipods to computers are brilliant.

    I really do love the iPod series and this has got to be the best iPod Apple have ever made. The battery life is brilliant, mine lasts about 13 hours now after owning it for 2 years it used to be 18 but I'm considering changing the battery soon anyway,So I'm going to get a few years out of this! Generally, I do like the iPod Mini more than my iPod Video even though it's old!

    I have a silver iPod Mini which i bought off eBay about 6 months ago now and the previous owner had it for at least 18 months before me and its still in a great in great condition! I have bought a separate case for it to ensure minimal scratching as I use it for work, the gym and carrying around in my bag so it does get bashed around quite a bit but this doesn't deter the sound quality in the slightest and the memory is brilliant. I can hold about 1,500 songs on mine which is more than enough ...

    I've had this iPod since sept 2005 and it gave me great use, I had encounted battery issues but it was fixed quickly by an iPod updater on the apple site that you can get free. I find it very sturdy to the point that my horse stood on it and it didn't even get damaged apart from a teeny nick. Shame apple discontinued this, its an advantage for those who want small but decent music players that wont break easily as the nano. My mom's buying this off me as I'm purchasing an 30gb video soon :D ...

    The iPod mini is the best selling iPod in the market. Too bad it got discountinued. Its sound is excellent, many features, 4 GB memory (1000 songs), uses iTunes which is a very good software. It's also very reliable, which means it doesn't break for no reason. Mine is in excellent condition with not one problem and no scratches at all. People say that the battery is low. But I think 7 hours is enough. It doesn't have a color screen but who cares about the color it's the music that's important ...

    I've had this little gem for over a year now and it has never let me down yet. I had read reports that iPods could be unreliable and prone to breaking but in my experience that has not been the case. In spite of frequent use my iPod is as reliable as the day I bought it. The sound quality is excellent with the supplied headphones and is even better with the Sennheiser set I bought. This iPod is so easy to use...everything is managed with a simple scroll or click of the wheel. Organising music is ...

    The Apple iPod Mini is a great MP3 player for anyone. I found that they are very durable, and mine did not break. I encountered no problems with it at all, which is why I was very surprised when I saw how many people reviewed it negatively and had problems with it. Granted, the headphones it comes with do deteriorate after a little while, but you can use any headphones with the iPod Mini. An iPod Mini is especially great for someone who wants an iPod but doesn't want to spend a whole bunch of ...

    I have a pink metallic iPod Mini, which is very cute and pretty. It looks very neat and stylish, and Apple is a trusted make. It is really easy to use and it offers excellent sound quality. The battery life is reasonable, and it has loads of fun games and the computer software is easy to use.

    -: INTRODUCTION :- I bought my iPod Mini MP3 player last year. I bought it because I wanted something to listen to while walking to and from work. I needed something small and light to carry in my pocket. I looked around, but I was spoilt for choice. There were so many to choose from, but then I came across the iPod Mini, and I liked it straight away, so I did some checking, and I knew this was the one for me, so I considered it to be bought. -: WHAT IS AN IPOD? :- An iPod mini is a m ...

    Overall the Apple iPod Mini is a very good ipod and I recommend it to all. Another thing, if you have a question or problem and you want to speak to Apple, you end up on the phone to them for over an hour inside a queue, and I still didn't get through so I hung up.

    WARNING: THIS IPOD WILL SELF-DESTRUCT IN 5 SECONDS. When it was new it only lasted a few hours but now it will only switch on for a few seconds unless it is plugged into a charger. And a replacement battery is at least £50! I honestly think they time them to self destruct after their warranty has run out so you are forced to buy a new product.

    The Apple iPod Mini 4GB MP3 player is worth a look. It's easy to get music onto it, and the sound through the supplied headphones is excellent!!

    I've had an iPod Mini for over a year now, and it is the worst purchase I have ever made. Mine is now sitting on my shelf broken. Why? It just decided to pack in for no reason, just after my 1 year warranty ran out. How convenient! Apple say I need a new battery which I'll have to fork out £40 for. I'm just going to buy a new player instead. My bad experience appears to be common. All of my friends with iPod Mini's have had problems. One person's click wheel somehow stopped responding, ano ...

    I have had an iPod Mini MP3 player since they were released on the market. Although the storage capacity is not as high as some of the other iPod's, it is definitely worth the sacrifice for the smaller size of the Mini.

    My ipod does not stay charged for more than a couple of hours - so take it for a day out and I can listen to it on the way out, but not on the way back. I do a lot of long-haul flying (main reason I bought it) and I can only get a couple of hours out of it in-flight. Sent it to be fixed, but it doesn't seem any better now I have it back.
