Digital camera reviews of Apple iPod mini 6 GB M9801LL/A (Silver) OLD MODEL
Digital camera Review: REVEIW OF IPOD
Summary: 2 Stars
The IPOD purchased worked only two weeks. I am in the process of trying to contact the seller to get reimbursement or replacement.Digital camera Review: Second one and still doesn't work
Summary: 1 Stars
Returned the first one because I got a "Firmware update failure" which could not be rectified regardless of what http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/ said. Several down loads and no resolution of the problem resulted in my returning the unit. Second unit does the same. Surfed the web and found this to be a common problem. Will not buy an apple product again. Not just because of the problem with this iPod but because of the lack of support. Apple thinks that a customer forum where the customers try to assist each others is support. It isn't in my opinion.Digital camera Review: Simply THE best mp3 player!
Summary: 5 Stars
iPod mini was the hottest gadget last year & the best mp3 player around. Looks like this will be true even in 2005. There is absolutely no competition for the iPod's, no other player is even half as good as iPod.
Pro's,
1. Very good audio quality. Support for normal mp3's (unlike Sony).
2. Small size (smaller than most cell phones like much-talked-about-Motorola-Razr)
3. Extremely well desgined (let's hope Apple makes a cell phone and PDA in near future)
4. Very intuitive interface (award winning touch wheel and minimal buttons)
5. 6GB hard drive (enough space for about 1200 mp3 songs)
6. Available in many colors (hopefully Apple will come up with Nokia style faceplates for future Mini's)
7. iTunes is one of the best music software around (rate songs, keep playcount, easy-sync with the iPod)
8. Excellent screen for such small size
9. Recharges from a standard USB port with the same cable as used for the upload of songs. No need to carry around a charger now.
10. Tons of innovative accessories in the market (from Bose speakers to colorful socks!)
11. Good battery life, about 10-14 hrs depneding on how much you surf around on it. ofcourse we all want more and there is no end to that demand :)
12. Everything about the iPod Mini is designed to perfection (no other company has put this much time & effort into their mp3 players even in 4 yrs since iPod hit the streets)
Con's,
1. The battery is internal with no easy replacement chances
2. Colors on the new Mini, except Silver, IMHO, are all gaudy. Last generation of Mini's had much pleasing colors. Check out for yourself at a local store before buying.
3. Gold version has been dropped now, its become a collector's item? Instead of adding more colors they have dropped one!
4. Doesn't come with a wall charger any more and takes longer to charge from USB port. You always need to be around a computer or pay extra for the charger.
Its simply fabulous and I am running out of superlatives to describe it. Thanks Apple for the new iPod Mini!
Digital camera Review: Six years and counting without failing
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased my iPod Mini 6gb six years ago and it's still going strong, save for the battery, which is to be expected. The battery stopped effectively holding a charge several years ago, but most of my use is in the car hooked up to the charger so it has not been much of an issue. I did finally purchase a replacement battery, so we'll see how that goes.
I've seen many many of my friends' iPods fail, so I don't know if I got lucky or the Mini is a better design, but I thought it was worth noting for anyone considering picking up a used or refurb Mini.
Digital camera Review: So Far it's Pretty Good but...
Summary: 3 Stars
However, I have to knock it down to a 3 because sound quality is
unspectacular. Is it too much to expect the mini IPOD to have
good decent eq options? If so, then shame on me. I think creative players offer much cleaner and varied eqs. There is
no auditorium, small room, or my favorite "garage" eqs. Most
of the eqs on the mini are horrible and colorless. However, functionality of the player otherwise is fine.
