I have iPod 20Gb 3G for about 2 years and i noticed that i stopped carrying it with me as size was too big and battery is working for few hours only. Recently i installed Alpine au…

iPod mini 6 GB. The iPod is physically too big. I had a 15 GB, but wanted something smaller. The physical size of the shuffle is nice, but I find the lack of the screen quite irr…

I went with the Shuffle primarly because I'll be using it at the gym and while I work outside. The size difference greatly outweighed the smaller capacity and lack of screen I ex…

I just received my 6GB iPod Mini (silver) yesterday. With academic pricing ($229) it just seemed like the best deal for me. For me, 6GB was big enough and I liked the size of the M…

I actually just bought a new 4gig 2G mini and sold my 40 gig 3G on ebay that I'd had for a year and a half. I did this because I originally wanted the biggest one so I could have a…

I've had a 30Gig iPod since they came out which I used to store my entire CD collection. Today I bought a 1Gig Shuffle because I like the size, small.

wow, thanks for your responses...i find it interesting. Is the mini really that bad in terms of moving around? Here is what I would use an mp3 player for if I got one.. Basicall…

I originally had the 1gb Shuffle, but immediately returned it once the new minis came out. I could almost deal with the lack of an LCD, but going from one song to the next was just…

I actually like the green mini too What is it about hd mp3 players that make it unsuitable for lots of movement? You knw, as opposed to flash players? Is it only bad for sudden…

I have the same dilemma. I'm hesitating between the shuffle 1 G or the 4G mini. Mini advantages: -Firewire port I have a dual 500 G4 so USB 1.1 …

I got the 20GB 2nd generation model. I selected it because it was discounted when the 3rd generation models came out. I selected the 20gb model because I already had about 10GB w…

Oh, I'm hoping an 80GB drive comes out in the future, I may want to upgrade it again. (I could put a 60GB drive in there, but I don't need the space yet) I want to get an origina…

I ordered a first generation iPod mini when Apple put them on clearance last week when the new ones came out. I am still waiting but it has been shipped. I was looking at the new o…

I got the first-generation 4GB iPod mini last week at my local CompUSA for $179. I preferred this one because it came with a FireWire cable and my PowerBook only has USB 1.1. I a…

3G 15 gig I bought this summer. It was discounted at 250 dollars since it was an old generation. I am very happy with it. You can get iPod batteries for about 25 dollars if you are…

thanks for all the replies...and thanks for the birthday wishes...I am 21 as we speak (France time, GMT +1) But I still wan tto know....why are hd players worse when it comes to …

In a nutshell, HD players have moving parts and flash based players do not. Happy Birthday by the way.

You first have to understand how a hard disk works: A hard disk consists of a magnetic platter spinning at thousands of RPM with a "head" hovering ridiculously close to this spinn…

aaah ok. thanks!! i gotcha. I wonder why apple doesn't just make all the regular ipods flash based then...wouldn't that be better? I mean, you could still save stuff on it othe…

I don't think there are such things as portable 20, 40, and 60GB flash drives...or am I wrong on this. I picked up a 1GB shuffle yesterday, I too was debating over the shuffle and…

i believe 1GB is the largest-capacity flash drive at the moment. i too have a 3G 20GB iPod. after a year of driving a cab with it, it's road-worn, smoked-on, coffee-stained, occu…

I was almost embarrassed by the fact that I didn't own an iPod for so long. It felt like a dirty little secret, being as big a Mac Geek I am. So when I heard the rumors about an up…

I had an early 5GB iPod that lasted until Apple Japan offered a trade in deal. My wife got a grey click wheel 20GB model that's soooo much better because it's thin and light. I als…
