Digital camera reviews of Apple iPod 4 GB mini M9436LL/A (Blue) OLD MODEL
Digital camera Review: Great mp3 player
Summary: 5 Stars
I've listened to several different mp3 players, including the Dell Jukebox. The Jukebox sound cannot compete with the iPod minis. The colors are fun, and you can customize your equalizer settings to get the sound you want. It holds a lot more songs that it seems and has games to play while waiting in Restaurants. (seriously)Digital camera Review: Great!
Summary: 4 Stars
I got my blue mini for Christmas a few weeks ago and I've loved it ever since. I've really blossomed into a big music fan over the last year, so I'm glad to have my entire 550-song collection in one place. It's great to have your entire library at your fingertips - I can go from a new Velvet Revolver song to a 20-year-old Metallica classic with the push of a button. And the mini is so small and compact that you can take it with you anywhere. The user interface makes it easy to navigate through your collection without lifting your thumb, and I had little trouble inmporting my collection from iTunes to my iPod with the help of the instruction booklet.
The backlight is a nice feature - though it drains the battery, it's great for nighttime use. I like the games they include on the 'pod as well - Music Quiz is an ingenious idea, and Brick and Parachute are fun, simplistic time-killers (I don't know how to play Solitaire).
That said, I do have a few nitpicks. One is how fast the battery drains. If you want to use this thing often, be prepared to charge it often - I must've charged this thing at least 10 times in the first two weeks of owning it. I wish they had provided some kind of carrying case with the iPod - I know it's durable and everything, but I'd prefer to shield it from scratches and rough handling in my backpack. The headphones were a major disappointment. Why? They broke just two days ago. I hadn't even had 'em for three weeks! And I didn't throw them or mishandle them or anything - they just broke. Now I can only hear out of one side. That was a pain in the butt. I would have hoped Apple would have provided some better headphones to go along with this excellent device.
But those few problems aside, this thing is awesome. I would definitely recommend it to someone with a music library of up to 1,000 songs who wants an easy, convenient way to carry around all of your tunes. A very worthwhile purchase.
Digital camera Review: Great, but wait.
Summary: 5 Stars
The iPod mini is the perfect portable music player for anybody without an enormous music library. My 1300 song library fits on the iPod mini's 4GB storage. It is truly small, slightly bigger than my (small) cell phone. This is great, but don't buy it yet. Announced Feb. 23, the iPod mini will be released with new colors, a full color screen and 5 or 6 GB's of storage. ALL FOR THE SAME PRICE!! I am a PC guy, but Apple has perfectly designed the iPod mini. So wait a few weeks, then buy a new iPod mini.Digital camera Review: How Cool Is That?!
Summary: 4 Stars
I received my iPod Mini just days ago, and am already hooked on it. Since I'm a Mac user setting up the iPod and getting it running is as easy as 1-2-3. I've easily loaded my favorite songs from over 30 different CDs. I'm amazed at the sound quality it delivers. My only complaint is:
1. The unit does not come with earphones, which seems like buying a car without a steering wheel.
If you're a pseudo techie you've gotta' got an iPod. Make mine green!
Digital camera Review: I Love It
Summary: 5 Stars
When the iPod mini came out, I really liked it for the reason that it was an iPod that was 50 dollars cheaper and was even smaller then the diminuitive iPod with less space (I didn't have half as much music back then). I would really kill for a bigger iPod mini, but I guess you get what you pay for when it's out. Rio has a 5GB mp3 player thats the size of the iPod mini with some new hard drive, I hope that's in a new iPod mini by christmas. Sometimes I get criticized by owners of the bigger, "less cool" iPod, I think they're just jealous.
