"Meets My Needs"
Pros: Click wheel and sensible menus, handy belt clip, easy to update and fill with songs, very portable, two methods of connection to PC, good sound quality, solidly built and nice design.
Cons: 4 GB limit (1000 songs) is okay but a bit tight. Earbud phones aren't too impressive.
Summary: Satisfied customer (to date). Nice design, solidly built. Easy to use. Click wheel is great. iTunes (and interface between IPOD Mini and iTunes) is much better than I thought it would be -- okay for importation of MP3s but excellent for conversion of your CDs (fast and accurate with song, album and artist titles). Easy to fix tags (MP3 song names) in iTunes -- uses a 'form' type system (boxes) rather than requiring fiddling with file names/paths.
Best clip which can be used as a lanyard is also a nice feature.
Sound quality is good; earbud headphones aren't the best (flimsy, inexpensive looking - for a $200 machine - and don't fit well in your ear).
Battery life is acceptable for my needs.
