Apple IPod Mini 6GB Review

by Melissa J. Perenson

- With its streamlined, colorful design and easy-to-use click wheel, Apple's original IPod Mini established itself as a head turner. The second-generation, 6GB Mini upholds the tradition--except this time, you'll be wowed not just by the Mini's looks, but by its exceptional battery life. And the enhanced Mini still sells for $250, the same price its predecessor commanded.

User Reviews for Apple iPod Mini

Reviewed by: acousticmotorbike

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Compact size, great battery life, looks great in silver

Weaknesses: No photo or video capability

Overall Evaluation: Received this as a gift. It's all I expected and more. Functionally it's the same as all non-photo or video iPods. I refer the brushed aluminum case to the white on standard iPods. It's more durable and less prone to scratching. 6GB modelis great value relative to Nano if you don't care about color and photo capability. May be hard to find as Apple is no longer manufacturing this model.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: On time shipping, easy to operate.

Weaknesses: To fragile for portable use.

Overall Evaluation: I returned my son's ipod mini to Apple for repair within two weeks of ownership. Apple wanted $205 to repair the unit. My ten year old son saved to purchase the ipod to listen to audio books. He is legally blind and it was becoming very difficult to burn CDs to listen to the books, so he purchased the ipod. While the ipod did accidently fall once from his hand at table height, it was not abused in any way and there was no negligence. It is surprising that such an expensive portable player is not more robustly designed.
