Apple 4 GB
iPod Mini Silver M9800LL/A Pros and Cons
Pros of the ipod
1.
Very good audio quality. Support for normal mp3's (unlike Sony).
2. Small
size (smaller than most cell phones like much-talked-about-Motorola-Razr)
3.
Extremely well desgined (let's hope Apple makes a cell phone and PDA in near future)
4. Very intuitive interface (award winning touch wheel and minimal buttons)
5. 4GB hard drive (enough space for about 800 mp3 songs)
6. Available
in many colors (hopefully Apple will come up with Nokia style faceplates for future
Mini's)
7. iTunes is one of the best music software around (rate songs, keep
playcount, easy-sync with the iPod)
8. Excellent screen for such small size
9. Recharges from a standard USB port with the same cable as used for the
upload of songs. No need to carry around a charger now.
10. Tons of innovative
accessories in the market (from Bose speakers to colorful socks!)
11. Good
battery life, about 10-14 hrs depneding on how much you surf around on it. ofcourse
we all want more and there is no end to that demand
12. Everything about the
iPod Mini is designed to perfection (no other company has put this much time &
effort into their mp3 players even in 4 yrs since iPod hit the streets)
Cons
of the ipod
1. The battery is internal with no easy replacement chances
2. Colors on the new Mini, except Silver, IMHO, are all gaudy. Last generation
of Mini's had much pleasing colors. Check out for yourself at a local store before
buying.
3. Gold version has been dropped now, its become a collector's item?
Instead of adding more colors they have dropped one!
4. Doesn't come with
a wall charger any more and takes longer to charge from USB port. You always need
to be around a computer or pay extra for the charger.
Buy the Apple 4 GB
