Digital camera reviews of Apple iPod 4 GB mini M9160LL/A (Silver) OLD MODEL
Digital camera Review: Apple's Best iPod.
Summary: 5 Stars
What's not to love? It's small, beautiful, and easy to use. I've had mine for a little over 3 weeks now, and so far have experienced no problems. It's obvious to anyone who wants one, that Apple has an enormous hit on it's hands, because every store and website that had them in stock at the end of February, now has a waiting list. Yes there are similar players available from other manufacturers, and yes you can pay less money for units with greater storage, but once you have an iPod mini in your hands you will understand. My recommendation is; if you see one for sale, BUY IT. Do not hesitate. My only complaint is that there isn't much available in the way of accessories yet. I'm sure that there will be more stuff available for the mini very soon though.Digital camera Review: Apple's iPOD = Creme of the Crop
Summary: 5 Stars
The biggest choice you'll have to wrestle with is size. Not the 3.6 inches long, or 3.6 ounces it weighs... rather the storage size. This model is 4GB - which will hold approx 1000 songs. The 20GB might be overkill, but it's fun to think about the possibilities. The Apple iPOD is easy to use - easy to add songs in, take songs out. The battery charge lasts approx 8 hours; takes 3-4 hours to fully charge again (80% charged in 2 hours I read). Unit comes with earbud headphones (delivering excellent full-bodied crisp sound), a belt clip, AC adaptor, as well as the hook up for your PC. Capable of playing MP3's. Very customizable: main menu features; playlists; shuffle songs or albums; repeat functions; alarms and sleep timers; 20 different equalizer settings; displays (date/time/etc); sound checks; etc. The size is amazing - the mini fits in my pocket with my cell phone and I almost don't notice it. In the dark, the display reads nicely. Only bad comment is that during the daylight hours, I wish the LED backlight was brighter. Max operating altitude is approx 10,000 feet (the thin air definitely effects the playback - found this out on our last Colorado vacation in the mountains). Overall an outstanding iPOD/MP3 player. Available in several colors (blue/gold/silver/pink/green). Apple still makes the best unit in 2005 and everyone and their brother is now trying to copy them. Toughest choice you'll have to make is whether to get the 1GB (250 songs), 4GB (1000 songs), or 20GB (5000 songs). Stick with Apple and you won't go wrong. Great unit!Digital camera Review: Appreciating & enjoying music like never before
Summary: 5 Stars
The iPod mini has literally changed my everyday life. Music is a prominent component in my everday existence now, and I enjoy and appreciate it like I never have before. Being able to conveniently carry such a massive collection of your hand-picked favorite songs is a convenience and pleasure I can't even put into words. Hate household chores? Try it with your iPod. Hate jogging or walking for excersize? Try it with iPod. Trouble relaxing enough to fall asleep? Try it with iPod. Anywhere, anytime, only your favorite music. Sick of radio commercials and only liking half the songs? Thank heaven for iPod. At the risk of sounding overly dramatic, this little treasure has changed my life. I have never loved music so much.Digital camera Review: As much art as it is science!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been an iPod evangalist since I first turned on the 5GB. As you may know from my reviews of the 5, 15, 20, and 40GB models, I've owned (or given as gifts) just about every incarnation of this glorious device. So, when Apple announced that it was releasing a dramatically redesigned version of the iPod, I knew right away it would at least be a hit, perhaps even enjoy the almost "cult-like" status of its larger parent.So I pre-ordered 3 of them; one for each of my sisters and myself. They arrived about a week ago and I'm happy to report that Apple has done it again with the release of the iPod Mini. It totally ROCKS!
There are allot of things I like about this model, but before I get into them A VERY IMPORTANT WARNING TO THOSE THAT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT:
YOU MUST CHARGE AT LEAST 4 HOURS BEFORE USE!
I, like so many I'm sure, was very eager to "plug and play". I did, without fully charging them, and they experienced all kinds of impossible to resolve errors.
Now, in the event you've already bought one, or simply can't help yourself, there is a little known "reset feature" on the mini that will come in handy whenever you have an issue.
TO RESET THE MINI, PRESS AND HOLD THE MENU AND SELECT BUTTON (the middle round button) FOR SIX SECONDS.
That'll bring your baby back to life.
The colors are awesome (I have the blue, silver, and pink), look very stylish, and will likely show less wear. If you have the patience, consider having Apple engrave them for you (looks very cool).
The sound is excellent. I don't have a testing lab, but I could swear that the sound quality is better; and I'm almost certain that they can play at a higher volume.
Another important improvement is the fact that when skipping forward more than a handful of songs the mini doesn't stall (for a second or two) like it's predecessors.
So, in conclusion, this is a wonderful new player that'll be sure to WOW everyone that owns it, and create envious spectators out of those that don't.
Hope this was helpful.

Digital camera Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
I got my ipod early for christmas, and it has been great ever since. There was one problem setting it up and it was a real pain in the butt, but finally it worked. The battery life is ok, but get it charged for four hours first, then use it. you don't really use the calendar or games, except for the music quiz, which is awesome. the ipod is amazing
