Yes, the iPod is an mp3 player. Do you have an Apple dealer somewhere near you that has real sales guys around? Because the best thing for you is to just go and check one out in …

I was wondering do the itune prices for songs vary or are they pretty much the same i went and visited the site breefly and and saw some song for $.99 . do you get discount for pur…

All songs are $.99 if bought individually. If you buy an entire album, they are generally (but not always) priced at $9.99 for the whole thing, so if you get an album with 15 track…

Basically if you want to have something that is reliable and always functioning, get an ipod, if you want something cheap that might fall apart and break, get an MP3 player.

i dont think thats true. although i like the clickwheel on the iPod and the fact that you can use iTunes and you can use it on a PC or Mac, Mp3 players arent cheap and break easily…

Don't be a fool. Get the iPod. Unless you really need the radio (which you could pick one of those up for $19.95 - I did for the gym). I highly recommend the iPod. It will save yo…

1) -non dock related question- Will my iPod mini charge connected to my PB thru USB2 when the lid is closed and the PB is sleeping? 2) Does the iPod mini dock include a seperate c…

1) Yes. Newer Powerbooks supply power while sleeping provided they are plugged into AC. 2) No. The dock is just a fancy stand. There are no advantages other than it being kind of …

Ack, what a waste of money! It's definitely not worth my $50+ Cdn. It would have some use if the dock could power the iPod mini thru a cord connected to a power outlet, but since …

I've been sitting on the fence now for too long and its probably time I put my money where my mouth is. I've been waiting to see each new iteration of ipod and thinking maybe the …

For running and gym use you may want to consider a shuffle. The Hard Discs in the regular iPods can skip and screw up if you jostle them too much. Otherwise, I'd say go with the M…

There are fewer compatible add-ons for the mini, primarily because it's significantly smaller than the standard iPod. I also know that the the Griffin iTalk (iPod recorder with spe…

Yep, they've had them in stock since the day of the announcement! You probably wanna go with the mini (if not the shuffle) simply because the regular iPod is really too big to go …

The biggest differences between the iPod mini and the regular iPods are the size of the units themselves, and the HD capacity of each model. Right now the iPod mini goes from 4GB-6…

Apple must have made some significant breakthrough in battery technology to double the mini's battery life without an increase in size. The mini now has the highest rated battery l…

as seen on apple.com/ipodmini (click tech specs) udio * Up to 25 minutes of skip protection same as previous ipods... my guess, higher capacity battery.

I say go with the mini...I've got about 14.7 gigs on my 20gigger and honestly, even though I listen to it all day at school, in my car to and from, and on the way to work and home …

I finally invested in a 4GB iPod Mini (the previous model that came with a FireWire cable...CompUSA had 'em for $179 last week...I have no USB2 on my computers) and it's absolutely…
