Digital camera reviews of Apple iPod 4 GB mini M9160LL/A (Silver) OLD MODEL
Digital camera Review: Almost Perfect
Summary: 4 Stars
The ipod mini has almost everything that the ipod has in a smaller package.
Design:
Apple really went all out for this one. The ipod mini seems smaller than my credit card! It's also nice to know that there are more colors available. I happened to choose silver because all the other ones seems too girly. The overall design is simplistic. There are no parts jutting out or any hooks for clothes to snag on. This creates a rather sleek appearance that is in some way, attractive. The screen is conveniently backlit and is large enough to display basic information, yet small enough to relax my concerns about a scratched screen.
Functionality:
The ipod mini delivered exceptional sound quality when I compared it to other mp3 players. I used the same speakers for all devices so I know that the results are fair. The menus are very intuitive. They aren't graphical but simple and easy to understand. My 5 year-old cousin was easily able to figure out the menus.
Compatibility:
Alas, this is where the ipod's shortcomings are most obvious. To connect the ipod with your computer you must use iTunes. This is one of the few flaws I have found in the ipod. Another flaw would be file type compatibility. WMA files won't work on the ipod. You must use AAC or MP3.
Overall, I found the ipod mini to be a near perfect mp3 player. Throw in WMA and RA compatibility and driverless connectivity and it would have been perfect.

After looking at many different mp3 players, I finally chose the ipod mini. Just about everything about it is excellent. The sound quality is superb, it is small and light (for a player with a hard drive), and itunes is really great. I only have two gripes about it. When I was first learning how to use it, I had a rather difficult time setting everything up. Other than that, it is way too expensive! Still this is a very good mp3 player. Congrats, apple.Digital camera Review: Amazing

It's amazing the transitions music has gone through in the last 40 or 50 years. When it started out, the only way music lovers could enjoy their favorite songs was by collecting big vinyl records. Then came the big, bulky 8-track tapes. Then cassettes, which were small and convenient but they didn't last forever. Then came CDs. They could last a lifetime, but often had skips or scratches. Finally there were MP3s...and the iPod! I got one of these for my birthday and am absolutely thrilled! It is so small, and holds up to 1,000 songs. You can buy songs with the iTunes software and upload them onto your iPod, or you can upload CDs to the iPod in a matter of seconds. As for me personally I used MusicMatch Jukebox to rip my CDs and then loaded them into iTunes and put them on my iPod. With the iPod comes a firewire and USB cable which you use to connect the iPod to the computer. You also get earbud headphones (which provide brilliant sound) and a belt clip. The iPod gets an 8-hour battery life, which is plenty to hear your favorite songs again and again. Then it takes about three hours to recharge the battery (one hour for an 80% charge.) The only drawback seems to be that I'm going to have to seriously cut down my music collection! The iPod, however, is the best MP3 player out there.Digital camera Review: Amazing

Bought this product the first day of release. All I can say is go buy one. Makes the already perfect ipod seem dated. This unit is all about style. The size is the same as a business card and the metal case is the same material as the G5 case. Storage of 4gb although is smaller than the 15gb larger brother the increased portability more than makes up. I give this 5 out of 5Digital camera Review: Amazing

Once in your hand you will understand. I have a PowerBook with 6 gigs of music on it. I don't need that much music on an ipod. I can just create playlists and the softward automatically updates the iPod with the songs I have requested. The mini is the best. Don't plan to back up your computer and all of that. Just go with the music and live the connected life.
Thanks Steve Jobs!!!
