Customer Review: Outstanding MP3 player.
Summary: 5 Stars
I began looking into an iPod purchase over a year ago, and was almost sold on the 4th generation iPod. I liked the colors of the mini and was okay with 4 GB of storage (though that was a tad on the small side), but the main thing that deterred me from the mini was the less-than-desirable 8-10 hour battery life.
Then the 2nd generation mini was released. Apple seemed to fix and improve every little thing I had held against the original. They made the colors brighter, increased the hard drive space to 6 gigs, and most importantly, at least to me, increased the battery life two-fold.
The 18 hours that Apple advertises is EXTREMELY conservative. If you're content listening to music and don't need the backlight for more than a minute or two every hour, the battery can run for about 24-25 hours. I can go a week and not have to worry about recharging my battery. I could listen every waking moment of my day and never have to stop and recharge before I went to bed. It's a wonderful thing.
The blue is very bright and pleasing to the eye--I've seen the pink and silver versions and they too are visually appeasing. 6 gigs is nothing to shake a stick at--on the contrary, I've found that 6 gigs is just about the perfect size for someone who has a vast number of interests musically but doesn't have thousands upon thousands of CD's to rip and upload. Unless you have literally hundreds of CD's in your collection that you plan on putting on your iPod, I'd recommend the mini, since you'd more than likely end up with half the space on your regular iPod sitting unused.
Despite the fact that the iPod scratches easily, there are several cases which work extremely well...I'm partial to the ones made by Power Support, though you have to import them from Japan. Uploading your songs is quick and easy. Navigating the menus takes about 15 minutes to master. There's really nothing more I can say that can do the iPod mini justice.
I will make a quick note and add that I'm not an Apple fanatic. I think that Apples are good computers, but I'm still attached to my PCs. However, when it comes to MP3 players, there's really no comparison; it's going to take many many years before Microsoft or any other competing company can put out any MP3 player nearly as nice as the 2nd generation iPod mini.
Also, if you have a friend that's a teacher in a school, look into the education discount on the Apple website. It ends up being 20 or 30 dollars off.
