Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Apple iPod 4 GB mini M9160LL/A (Silver) OLD MODELCustomer Review: The best player on the market Summary: 5 Stars
Its amazing. I love it. I have the 40 GB Gen 3 and I want my wife's mini. The case is very well constructed, it feels solid. The whole thing is made of anondized aluminum and it feels super sturdy. The screen is crystal clear and the perfect size. The clickwheel is WAY better than the current Ipod configuration of 4 buttons above the scroll wheel. The clickwheel feels solid and the clicking is crisp. The wheel doesnt rotate but Im sure you coulda figured that out already. Its touch sensitive for scrolling with the select button still in the middle. And yes you can scroll thru songs super fast like a normal Ipod The color is vibrant and the mini is just the right size. This thing fits in your pocket and you dont even know its there. I put my big ipod in my pocket and it feels like im smuggling a pack of cards. If you got the means, get this player. It doesnt disappoint. Its like the Prada of the electronics world. And dont let the nonsense you hear about battery life sway you. The battery is fine, I regularly get 8 hours of play out of it. Of course in a few years you will have to replace the battery for $59 but thats the nature of ALL rechargeable batteries. They eventually die over their lifetime. Its just a scientific fact. Get the ipod mini now...A++ would buy another one . This thing has COOL dripping off it
Customer Review: Love the mini Summary: 5 Stars
The iPod mini is by far the cutest piece of technology I've ever owned. Granted, it only holds 4 GB of music, but that's enough space to hold a fair amount of my music until I get sick of hearing it. Then, I clear it off and load new songs.
The mini is very easy to use-- i'm using it with win XP, and had to buy a USB 2.0 card. Installing the iPod and iTunes software is very easy, as is the initial configuration that you have to perform on the mini (a wizard walks you through the entire setup). I'm not at all familiar with Apple or Apple software, yet I was able to set up and begin using my mini withing minutes of opening the box.
It charges up quickly and seems to be very durable (i've dropped it twice already in one week of owning it). I have my mini in an iSkin, which protects it well, both from falls and dirt. (I'm certain the iSkin added additional protection when I dropped my mini.) The transfer rate from PC to mini is very fast, although that will probably vary depending on which cable you use (firewire vs USB) and your computer setup.
I'm very much into things that look stylish that are also high quality. The iPod mini meets both of those requirements. I highly recommend the mini, however, if you are more concerned with function over fashion, I would spend the extra $50 and buy a 20 GB iPod.
Customer Review: Amazing Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Simply the best mp3 player! Summary: 5 Stars
iPod mini is the hottest gadget of the year, the best mp3 player around. There is absolutely no competition for the ipod's, no other player is even half as good as ipod.
Pro's,
1. Small size (smaller than most cell phones like Motorola Razr V3)
2. Extremely well desgined (let's hope Apple makes a cell phone and PDA in near future)
3. Very intuitive interface (award winning touch wheel and minimal buttons)
4. 4GB hard drive (enough space for about 800 mp3 songs)
5. Available in many colors (hopefully Apple will come up with Nokia style faceplates for future mini's)
6. iTunes is one of the best music software around (rate songs, keep playcount, sync with the ipod)
7. Excellent screen for such small size
8. Comes with everything in the box to get you up & running
9. Tons of innovation accessories in the market (from Bose speakers to colorful socks!)
10. Everything about the ipod has been designed to perfection
Con's,
1. The battery is internal with no replacements possible in future
2. Battery life is a concern, its need to charged quite often.
3. Price is still too high
Its simply fabulous and I am running out of superlatives to describe it. Thanks Apple for the iPod Mini!
Customer Review: Ipods are soooooo 5 Stars
Ipods are the coolest thing for storing music.You can hold over 1,000 songs!.And you can rate each of your songs and the ipode will tell you what songs are the 90`s.The ipod has four colors pink,green,gold and blue.The cool thing about ipods is that you can charge them and not have to keep buying batteries for your CD player.When you set up your ipod it takes to a web site where you can buy songs for 99 cents!.And also the ipod comes with a clip so you can clip your ipod to your belt and listen to music while you walk.The cost for the ipod may seem high but its worth the money.And also the ipod will tell you when it is low on power a sign with a picture of a battery with low juice will come up and it wont let you listen to music until you charge it for a few hours,After charging your ipod it will last for days.The head phones that come with the ipod are little phones for your ears instead of those big head phones you might use for yourCD player,And the phones are cool because you can put them in your pocket along with your ipod.And the ipod has a light in side the screen so you can listen to your music in the dark.When you get your ipod it may seem confusing SO USE YOUR INSTRUCTION GUIDE!.The ipod comes in a box with every thing you will need to get started.So have fun with your ipod.
