Advantages: easy to use

Disadvantages: battery runs down

The ipod mini was first put on sale in early 2004 and was discontinued at the end of 2005 due to the introduction of the nano range. The ipod mini cam in both 4gb and 6gb models. Both models were available in five colours; silver, gold (not in 6gb), pink, blue and green.

Like the other ipods available (apart from the very first generations), the minis have a touch wheel on the front of the ipod which is used to scroll through the ipod's library and select songs to play. The ipod has a typical headphone socket at the top, a hold button which locks the scrollwheel, and the usb connector plugs in to a connection on the underside of the ipod. The ipod can be charged by plugging the usb cable into the ipod, then either plugging it in to a wall charger, or in to a computer. The player is 3.6x2.0x0.5 inches and weighs 102g.

The battery power was originally 8 hours, but after using mine for three years now it is more like 5 hours, and my battery also has a tendency to claim it has run out when actually their is plenty charge left. However this was not an issue with the product, but more something caused by overuse.

The ipod mini was a great introduction in to the mp3 industry for me. It was easy to use, had reasonable capacity for my needs and definitely looked cool. This ipod will definitely R.I.P

Summary: mp3 player available in variety of colours which was a joy to listen to
