    • Good: battery life
    • Bad: freezing.

    ive had my mini for over a year definately, i had to trade it in though about a year after i got it though cos the battery would run out then it'd freeezze.. but they sent me another one and its been great , no issues cept a bit of freezing, im lookin to get a new one but i like the thick chunky look, makes them look less fragile! haha.

    • Good: range of colours
      easy to hold
    • Bad: no colour
      crap battery life
      itunes

    I have had my ipod mini for about 1 1/2 years now. It was fine and dandy for the first 6 months then there after it slowly became terrible. I would have to charge the battery for days on end. It takes 4 full days to charge. I listen to it on the bus ride home and suddenly the music cuts out, what do you know the battery has died after charging for numerous hours. I also had an issue where the battery completely died and it wouldn't charge or even turn on. It is complete crap. Don't waste your money. You will just be buying a useless item

    • Good: Skip-free playback
      Works well with iTunes
      Pretty cute
    • Bad: Unlike a Nano:
      No color screen
      Thick
      Heavy(er)-- only a matter of a few ounces
      Painfully short battery life

    As far as how well it works, the Mini is pretty great. The playback is skip-free, and downloading from iTunes is easy and fast. However, the battery life is pretty bad. It is claimed to be eight hours, but mine lasts only about four. If you charge it overnight, however, it shouldn't be a problem. The Mini is also durably and resists scratches nicely, and is fairly lightweight. When compared to the new Nano, some would say that the Mini doesn't live up to its standards. The Nano is lighter and more vibrant in color than the Mini, and boasts nice features like a color screen, ensuring maximum sex appeal.
    Overall, great product, works well, and if you can look past the slight issue of the thickness, lack of a color screen, and ridiculous battery life, you'd be happy with a Mini.
