"Simple to use. Simply the best!" on by chukronos
Pros: 6GB, 1500 Songs! Easy to use, Charges through USB 2.0, Tons of accessories, amazing sound(sounds even better than it looks!), very little, Click-wheel, lighter & $100 cheaper than 6GB Zen Micro.
Cons: No radio. I bought it for my wife and she downloaded "Almost Paradise" onto my iTunes. But, she aslo downloaded "Let's get it on," by Marvin Gaye :). I guess that should be a +!
Summary: What an amazing product! I have the 4th generation 20GB iPod. So, my wife was able to test the superior sound performance of the iPod line and iTunes before she decided to ask for one. It comes with a snug white belt clip, earbuds, a USB 2.0 cable, and the iTunes Software.
The scrolling click wheel is sooo easy to use. She is not the most tech saavy individual out there, and she was able to use this easily right out of the box. It did take her a couple of scrolls around to get used to the precision and speed of the scroll wheel.
For those of you that do not own one yet, the earbuds that come with the mini actually sound pretty good.
Since the mini syncs and charges through a USB 2.0(included), it is easy for us to sync and charge both her mini and my 20GB via FireWire cable at the same time on our 4G iBook. She can have up to 1500 songs with her at all times and it takes up less room than her cell phone(I don't think she has that many, yet. - I better put a limit on the iTunes account!) The iPod mini seems sturdy and well built. I would definitely recommend the iPod mini to anyone. She has been spending a lot of time downloading and listening to music since she received it. I don't dig on having Beyonce in my library, but I sure like the way my wife dances to her songs

"Apple Comes Again With the Near-Perfect MP3 Player" on by sherrylwu
Pros: supercharged battery life, click wheel interface, speedy itunes synching, good sound quality, small, now in 6GB capacity
Cons: still could have been cheaper
Summary: This iPod is a good buy for anyone looking in the micro-hard drive mp3 market. It has the best design in its class, superb battery life, and the best interface. It is small and sleek, and like apple says, you'll forget you're carrying it around. What could have been better was that apple could have made this product cost $224. Then apple would once again reign the mp3 market.

When i took a trip to the Apple store at the Rockaway mall, i found that the pink one looked like purple, and the metallic blue one was starting to lose its sparkling sensation.Updated
All iPods with displays have colored screens! C'mon, Apple! If you want to compete with the hi-tech microdrive players, make the mini a 'full-color' player!!! -

"COLOR SCREEN NOT NEEDED" on
Pros: Larger capacity, aesthetic design, intuitive menus, the obvious iPod "cool factor." TO THOSE WHO WISHED FOR COLOR: Please. Humor me. Do you really think you would enjoy SQUINTING at pictures on a 1.67 inch diagonal screen? I wager that it would ruin th
Cons: Cons? Pssh. This is APPLE. For Cons, please see: "Creative Zen Micro"

"Good Product - Boring, Predictable Update" on
Pros: 18 hr battery life, 6 gb is decent amount of storage, iPod interface can't be beat. For all those complaining about buying one a week ago and now the price drops listen up - Apple is very predictable. They come out with an upgrade to their existing line
Cons: No color screen, only a 2 gig upgrade. No removeable battery which would be a big plus. Anyone who has owned an iPod for at least 2 years knows that the battery WILL go south. Call me when it hits 10GB with color screen and PUT AN FM RADIO ON IT!!!
