Apple iPod mini 1st Generation Silver (4 GB) MP3 Player

Of course, as most of you all have probably known, Apple has discontinued the line of Ipod Mini as Nano has been emerging into the market quick, and quickier. Since I'm not entirely convinced that Nano is any better than Mini, it's probably the best time for you to grab one Mini if you're seeing a price that seems affordable to you.

Really, the way I see it, Nano and Mini are not so much different except in size, and perhaps it's 'cooler' to have Nano around these days. But who knows when Apple will be coming up with Pico? Obviously, what we all need is a MP3 player that stores a reasonable amount of songs and able to play whenever we want. Thus, I recommend going for a not-so-much different product but a much less price, which seems more logic to me.

I've been owning Mini since it first released and I've tried Nano but decided to return it. Several reasons are as follow:

1) Nano is too small for me to realise if there is anything in my pocket before I put the clothes in loundry. Seriously, the device is so small that makes me think it's not really practical for its intended usage.

2) I prefer the battery life in Mini much more than Nano. Typically, my Mini lasts about 15 hours of continous music playing whereas my ex-Nano lasted about 11 hours.

There are still several other personal preferences over why I chose Mini instead of Nano, but I believe I've made my points acrossed in this review. If you're making a choice between Nano and Mini, I'd certainly recommend you to try out Mini before purchasing Nano, especially when the price is sinking right now!
