i too am looking for a mini. hoping now that the nano hype is hitting the market, i figure you can get a steal on a ipod mini. i dont plan on using it for photos, and the scratch r…

I just sold my mini for around $159. Good to know I didn't gypped on that sale price. Yes, Apple was right to have the nano be the replacement for the mini. Have you used one? The…

At least with the mini there was a somewhat scratch resistant casing and songs could be transferred with firewire. To me the size of the nano doesn't make up for the lack of these …

My sister has had 3 mini failures in her ipod experience. That alone would make me avoid them, not to mention all the broken ones that show up on ebay.

No moving parts, smaller, and a lot less chance of something happening to the hard drive. Also, thinner. And better looking. Color screen.

there are a lot of improvements w/ the nano...just none of which i need. except for maybe no moving parts...

NMP would improve reliability, no?

i dont think it looks better its too long for something so thin. it looks really unproportional from my POV if it was shorter i think it would look better. NMP big improvement, …

I'm still waiting for the iPod nada. It's so small that it's invisible.

You can still get them in China, they are still trying to give them the most store space to get rid of them.

Enomehjashik, mad cow disease is right. Besides that, even if there were a 16GB or even an 8GB model - the price would be outrageous due to the high cost of the chip. I'd expect an…

apple didnt exactly wait, they bought half of what samsung can provide. even if it was shorter you can still have one handed operation. how bout a thin player that is slider des…

Yes, I still see them at stores everywhere.

Searching for another question, I found this...so I'll add my 2 cents. My wife's mini was replaced under warranty by a black nano, maybe they don't have many mini's left...

I'm sitting on 17 Pink ones and 1 blue one (most are 6GB a few 4GB) - 4 are on Ebay right now... We bought up all the PINK Minis we could get from the refurbished Apple stock caus…

Unreal...do a completed ebay search for ipod mini pink and you get 2-3 pages of pink minis that sold for $350. I don't get it -- why wouldn't someone just buy their kid a nano wit…

So i have had an iPod for a while now, (so i know has worked) and for some reason all my songs got deleted on my iPod...so now i go to import all 2400 songs back again from my itun…

I'm hoping some Unix GURU can give me a quick one-liner to help me fix this problem... I have serial input and output working fine through the IOKit (yes, the termios stuff). I …

My iPod behaves erratically. It only mounts after a number of retries. I ran Disk Utility on it to see if the disk needed to be repaired. I got an error message saying "incorrect n…

Just discovered this, must have been a hidden feature of the latest iPod shuffle "bug fix". If you look at the settings for the shuffle in iTunes, at the bottom there is an option …
