If you're looking for carrying cases, I think you can expand your search from cases designed specifically for the iPod to those designed for mp3 players in general. Almost any iPo…

I changed head phones from the start. I never would have thought of other mp3 carriers but that's a good idea. here's some responses to emails I sent: ---------------- re incase…

I just got a new 2G 6gb iPod Mini yesterday. I also have a 4G 40gb iPod I got last August. A friend told me I should be able to insert the mini iPod into the full size iPod's dock …

I'm assuming the new mini has the same dimensions as the older models. Use the belt clip. Connect it to the mini upside down, about 1mm from the top. This should allow the mini to …

I would also bet that the new mini needs 4.7.1. I would upgrade iTunes on your G4 to 4.7.1 to see if that works - Apple often requires the latest software version for new hardware.…

Thanks for the insights. I will also update the Mac OS on the G4 to 10.2.8 as it's still 10.2.6. As far as the powerbrick goes, assuming it's not an issue to use a firewire powerb…

I haven't had any trouble using the external drive feature on my iPod. It seems to work very well, much better than my Belkin FW drive. I have found that the color screen on th…

I am just curious...is it possible to make the font bigger n the ipod or the ipod mini?

I wish they would make the font smaller and put more info on there.

so I am guessing then that there is no way to increase the font size...bummer.

I don't think that's something that can be changed.

I think it is possible to edit the characters that make up the font by editing the firmware. Much more complicated than just choosing a larger font from a menu, though. Doing thi…

hmmm...dunno what it is but something tells me i had better just deal with the small font...lol

The local Best Buy is getting in some 1GB shuffles tonight and I'm going to pick one up for my gf. They sell a 3 year warranty for $9.95. I know people criticize Best Buy for pus…

I don't know bout their warranty's. I have a friend who swears by em....so I would think that $10 is worth it. I have a $25 gift card...looks like I found what to use it on. I'd…

Most of the time, if you have a problem and have the warranty, the retailer won't hassle you about returning it for a working unit. (or repair) For $10, it seems to be a good deal…

This is my take: Insurance (and for-pay warranties) exist because on average, companies make money selling them. They do so by calculating the risk that a customer will make a clai…

The Best Buy warranty (or "Service Plan") is actually really great. At my local Best Buy they tell me "if ANYTHING happens to it, as long as it's in one piece, we'll repair or repl…

Well, I finally got into Best Buy tonight, and all of the 1 GB were sold out. I decided to go ahead and get the $10 warranty. She'll prolly do something to break it and it pays o…

Apple apparently has the capacity to sell more iPods, so it is doing what it has to in order to lower the price per unit. One of the ways to accomplish that is to reduce the number…

I haven't seen any yet. Granted, I live in the wild west, but last year they appeared right on schedule. Is anyone else still not seeing them?
