Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Apple iPod 4 GB mini M9160LL/A (Silver) OLD MODEL
Customer Review: Excellent Quality, Ok but not perfect sound
Summary: 5 Stars
There is no doubt that it is an ingenious device, designwise or judging from its size. However, for an artist like me, it lacks some features, none of them a big deal.
- Lack of recording options.
- So so Bass quality of sound.
- Tightly tied to Itunes, which is a great software, but for one who needs some flexibility, well...
Anyways, still a great product. No Doubt to be Recomended
Customer Review: Mini IPOD - batter poop out
Summary: 2 Stars
I got an IPOD mini in February 2005. Overall I have no complaints except for the battery life. I have had five replacements since I bought the IPOD mini earlier this year. The batter slowly looses charge incrementally, so by 2.5 months the batter time is down from its best of 4.5 hours down to 30 minutes. When I brought the IPOD mini back to an APPLE STORE at the Genius Bar, I was told I was using the IPOD mini incorrectly, that it had to be my computer, which I bought in January 2005 (DELL), or it is my outlet socket, or that I am not following instructions. The deal is this, they know that they have a defective product with IPOD mini with a 8 hour battery life, when I bought it they never told me that the upgraded IPOD mini was to be marketing very shortly with an 18 hour battery life. In any event, they replaced the battery depleted IPODS, with refurbished IPOD minis that had the exact same problem and stated, and they clearly stated that there is no problems with the battery life. My question is why do they have such a huge stock of refurbished replacement IPOD mini units, if there is no problem. One replacement was a complete disaster, the wheel did not work, it was broken although it had been refurbished. So yesterday I went back for unit number six, as it's battery has died over 6 weeks this time. Well IPOD minis are no longer being sold as new by Apple, they have replaced with IPOD nano, etc, etc this month. Poor folks who bought they IPOD mini last month and have defective battery problems also. In any event, they replaced my IPOD mini again yesterday with a IPOD mini with a battery life of 18 hours, because they are no longer selling them. So far, the battery life is much improved with the first trial with the 18 hour battery - but I cannot speak for 1 week to six months. SO BEWARE if you are going to spend money on a new or refurbished IPOD mini, THINK TWICE, THREE TIMES, FOUR TIMES, and how ever long it takes to give up on this foolish idea. I cannot speak for the newest IPOD's - nano, photo, etc. But I am sure the batter problem continues. There is no way to get the battery out yourself and replace it. There are other brands of MP3's with replaceable batteries, you open the case, by a new battery for around $45 dollars, replace the battery and go on into the night with an MP3 player that works. Apple please design units with replaceable batteries, and top lying to your customers. Also there has been a class action suite filed against Apple whichshe lost, because of defective batter problems, and overclaims of battery longevity on early IPOD versions, that supposedly preceded the IPOD minis.Customer Review: nice little thing
Summary: 4 Stars
ipod minis are really neat and cute. they're also small and fit in my pocket, as well as being relatively lightweight. i like the way they come in a variety of colors because it makes them much more interesting than if they were just plain white. the sound quality is decent and i can hear my music just fine, even when the volume is turned down. i like the way i'm able to organize my songs and create different playlists made up of certain songs. it's very costly to purchase songs from itunes, though, and the battery life could be better. mine is the older version and is meant to have a battery life of 8 hours. i skip around a lot and battery life for me is more like 4 or 5 hours. overall, the ipod mini is a decent mp3 player, if thats what you would call it.
Customer Review: oh...yes. it's all about sound quality
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got one for my birthday. it's awesome. now i know why so many people love this thing so much
1) It's beautiful to look at.
2) It feels great on your palm and the User Interface is easy
3) Apple iTunes couldn't be easier to download music from and paying ONE DOLLAR / song instead of buying a whole with a load of crappy songs in them
4) Apple ipod is like an extra hard disk that you carry with you and you can store anything you want.
5) 4GB is more than enough for any average non-geek
6) The backlight is pretty nice
7) The earphones provided are pretty good quality, although you could always buy more expensive one's at a retail
APPLE rocks this planet with aesthetics in technology design. looks DO matter in this world we live in :))
Customer Review: I'm in love
Summary: 5 Stars
I treated myself to the IPOD mini and have had ot for about a week.
I LOVE IT!!
It is a great compact size. Holds a great amount of music.
Shuffle feature is probably my fav!
The only minor negative
the earbuds are a bit annoying at times, they want to fall out easily. Thre earbud foam covers as well. One set was lost in a few days.
I use this everyday and can take it anywhere!!!
