Customer Review: Great product, poor service from Apple direct - Use Amazon!
Summary: 3 Stars
Hi,
I experienced really poor service ordering from Apple direct. I first placed an order for a personalised ipod mini and the lead time on delivery was set at almost a month later from order placement. I needed the ipod sooner as it was a gift, and I contacted Apple and I suggested changing my order to a standard ipod mini rather than personalized in the hope this would improve delivery. They told me that the engraving process only took 5 minutes and it wouldnt improve delivery at all. A few days later I contacted them again in the hope they could improve the delivery and was told by a different sales contact that by changing to a standard ipod this would improve delivery greatly. I changed the order and the delivery did improve to ship in a couple of days. The day passed and the shipment hadnt been made, and the lead time had gone back out to the same time as the original personalised ipod mini. I contacted them again, and after holding for 30 mins was told that that was just what the lead times could do - just change at any given moment! I promptly cancelled my order, and ordered with Amazon. Sorry, Apple, fantastic product, rubbish service.
Customer Review: Great....if you don't mind glitches

When I first got this pink iPod mini for my birthday last year I was thrilled. The battery life was never ending, it was easy to use, and it looked cute and withstanded constant torture. However, a year later I am deeply dissapointed in this Apple product. I started noticing during the summer it downloaded songs very slowly and constantly froze on itunes. After disconnecting it from the USB it would freeze, just simply switching from song to song froze it. I noticed that the batter was much less than the promised hours and after a full charge the battery would go down after about 5 minutes of use. If I was to leave it alone a couple of days after a full charge when I would turn it back on the battery would be half gone. The earphones that are included with the iPod, just forget them, they are comeplete crap, they crack and break open, and the sound comes through all fuzzy. If the battery was to be completey gone and I would plug it into the computer to charge it would freeze right there and not chrage at all. I would suggest moving on to the more new and improved iPod's that work better and last longer. iPod mini's last a year, two at the most.Customer Review: HERE IS THE SKINNY ON MY MINI

I have been waiting for this to arrive and now I have it so let me share with you what I know. This is my first ipod and I am glad I waited. To start with I love the look of it. Pink is the color that I have it is sooooo cute. It dose not hold as many songs as the other ipods so that is something you should know right off. For the price I do think it should hold more. If you are using this with a PC you must have Windows 2000 or XP. It works smoothly and great sound so far, I am very pleased with it.PROS:
1. The size, it is easy to carry or put in your pocket and you can wear it around your neck also.
2. If you buy this from the Mac store online you can get it personalized free. Wayyyyy cool
3. Ease of operation and good customer help if you need it.
4. You can download books as well as music from MAC.COM
CONS:
1. It is pricey for something that can only hold 1000 songs.
2. Would have liked to have seen a color screen, something I am sure they can do.
3. Headphones could be better. I don't like earplugs.
4. Battery life is only 8 hours.
Customer Review: My baby!

I adore my iPod! I update it and charge it every day and I've become so protective of it that I'm ashamed.
The sound quality is stunning- the iTunes that it comes with manages to improve upon the digital music files. The touch wheel will keep you amused for hours. Plus, it comes with a calendar, a contacts list, and four games (solitaire, javanoid, a quiz on your own music, and "parachute"), as well as an alarm clock and sleep feature that I use every night.
If you are hesitant because of the amount of songs it holds- "only" 1000, let me tell you that I have had my iPod for almost 8 months now and I've only filled it halfway. If you are a HUGE music buff, you MIGHT exceed the 4 GB limit, but I have a friend who is forever downloading music and has over 30 CDs, and she still hasn't reached 1000 songs. The color never fades or scratches off, and now laser engraving is free on the Apple site. (Buy it there- it's totally worth it!)
Customer Review: yeah i love it but...

...i agree with some other reviewers about the colour. i got a pink mini iPod today for christmas but (don't get me wrong this is like its only fault) the colour shown in pictures on the apple website and amazon is totally NOT what it really looks like. its kind of a darkish lilac colour, which is really cute but not what i expected.
i love everything about my iPod mini (especially the music quiz - it ROCKS!). i've got 474 songs on it already!
a perfect christmas present! :)
UPDATED:
my mini was working just fine then one day i plugged it into my computer to add some new songs to it and it keeps telling me "no iPod connected" and won't update it. has this happened to anyone else??? what can i do?
UPDATED AGAIN:
we rang the apple hotline and they were very helpful (even if it took hours to actually get through to a person not a machine) and told me all i needed to do was reset my mini!
