Manufacturer's Description
Everything you love about iPod just got tinier. iPod mini lets you bring along enough music for a three-day weekend getaway in a package so small you'll forget you're carrying it.

Fashionably Compact:
Apple engineers squeezed all the best features of iPod into a case weighing just 3.6 ounces and smaller than most cell phones. iPod mini features an anodized aluminium case that resists stains and scratches. The case weighs practically nothing, but protects iPod mini in your pocket, purse or backpack. Recessed in the case to keep its surface pristine wherever you lay it, the 1.67 inch (diagonal) backlit screen displays full song names and more. Like its (slightly) bigger brother, iPod mini gives you over 25 minutes of skip protection and lasts up to 8 hours on a single battery charge. So you won't pay a penalty for miniaturization.

Can Touch This:
In fact, all the features of iPod are still under your thumb. Always striving for perfection, Apple engineers moved the iPod's buttons under the wheel. The iPod mini Click Wheel gives you the enhanced durability and sensitivity of the iPod Touch Wheel, with buttons underneath. The Click Wheel takes best advantage of miniscule space and lets you scroll with one hand though 1,000 songs from your iTunes music collection. You'll find such thoughtful construction only from Apple.

Autosync your iPod mini with Mac and Windows:
iTunes 4 lets you organize your music on your Mac or Windows PC and automatically transfer it to iPod mini. Whether you've ripped your CD collection to MP3, bought music from the iTunes Music Store, you can take it with you wherever you go. Your iPod mini includes both a FireWire and a USB 2.0 cable for high-speed transfer from your Mac or PC. In fact, you can move an entire album from your computer to your iPod mini in seconds flat. With the industry's only true Auto-Sync, your iPod mini is always up-to-date, mirroring the latest changes you've made in iTunes. And if your collection on your computer is bigger than iPod mini, you can let iTunes automatically choose a selection of songs to fill it up.

Games, Calendar, Contacts & Notes:
Behind the Click Wheel of your iPod mini await features that make it the world's best digital music player. Listen to your music as you fall asleep, and wake up with music or an alarm. Store a copy of your contacts, calendar and to-do lists on your iPod mini. Or keep anything from store restaurant reviews to nightlife guides, and news articles to exercise routines -- right at your fingertips. iPod mini also includes four fun games you can play anywhere, a feature you're sure to appreciate the next time you're standing in line or waiting for someone. You can even play your music as the soundtrack to the games -- Music Quiz, Solitaire, Brick and Parachute.

Mini only in size, DEFINATELY not in capability
Had the mini for about a week now, and I've got to say, it's by far one of the best mp3 players I've come across. The scroll wheel is a great feature, with just the slightest touch needed to scroll through songs, playlists etc.

The software provided, iTunes, is very simple to set up and use, and transferring songs is a breeze.

Extra features on the mini like the games, notes, contacts list etc are very handy, especially Music Quiz, one of the four games.

One problem I've come across is charging the mini. I turn it off, connect the charger into the port on the bottom, then as it starts to charges, it seems unsure whethers it's on or not. The apple logo is present, like when it powers up, but then it takes awhile before displaying the main screen. This obviously slows down charging time dramatically when it is on the whole time, so make sure it is switched off fully before leaving it to charge.

Otherwise, the iPod mini is great product and I would definately encourage anyone interested to buy one

Excellent - but headphones let it down
REALLY pleased with this, although I admit it took me a while to work how to use the "intuitive" click-wheel. I must be a bit thick. Once I figured that out though, it's just brilliant ! The iPod mini is even smaller than I was expecting - it's so tiny ! Sound quality is good (with MP3 at 128k), but improved noticably by substituting the tacky white "Please mug me, I have an iPod in my pocket" earphones with a pair of Sonys I had left over from a 35 quid walkman bought about 10 years ago. In my opinion, this is either a case of form coming before function, or Apple are serioulsy short-changing buyers with these poor quality 'phones on a product costing not far short of 200 hundred pounds ! But let's be fair, 'phones aside, this is an astounding product and I would recommend it to anyone who can "make do" with 4GB of space (I managed to get about 1000 MP3s on there at 128k).

Mean Green Jammin' Machine
I got this only yesterday and I have already imported all of my songs onto it! It's got a sleek metal green casing with a white click-wheel - it comes with a belt clip, a Firewire cable (Mac), a USB 2.0 cable (PC), charger, earbuds, software (iPod software and the latest iTunes), and a users guide. The packaging is also fantastic when you first get your iPod mini and it all unfolds. I also bought the dock to make charging and syncing easier. There is planty of space too - around 4gb (slightly less if you add options and notes etc. - see the Apple website to find out more about saving lithium-ion battery power and replacement batteries) and if anything goes wrong I have a 1 year warranty.
Good buy - worth it for the price.
