Apple engineers squeezed all the best features of iPod into a case weighing just 3.6 ounces and smaller than any cell phone. iPod mini features an anodized aluminium case that resists stains and scratches. The case weighs practically nothing, but protects iPod mini in your pocket, purse or backpack. Recessed in the case to keep its surface pristine wherever you lay it, the 1.67 inch (diagonal) backlit screen displays full song names and more. Like its (slightly) bigger brother, iPod mini gives you over 25 minutes of skip protection and lasts up to 8 hours on a single battery charge. So you won?t pay a penalty for miniaturization. In fact, all the features of iPod are still under your thumb. Always striving for perfection, Apple engineers moved the iPod?s buttons under the wheel. The iPod mini Click Wheel gives you the enhanced durability and sensitivity of the iPod Touch Wheel, with buttons underneath. The Click Wheel takes best advantage of miniscule space and lets you scroll single handedly though 1,000 songs from your iTunes music collection. You?ll find such thoughtful construction only from Apple. Because try as they might, the competition can?t touch this. Oh, one other minor detail, you can choose your iPod mini in one of five trend-setting colors: silver, gold, green, pink or blue. (All shiny.) minimize

Strengths: Amazing design and menu system.

Weaknesses: None.

Despite initial criticisms for its $249 price tag, Apple certainly got it right with the iPod mini.

I've had a few flash MP3 players in the past, and I am stunned at what I have been missing. Now I can carry my entire music collection with me, it's a lot more enjoyable -- no more listening to the same 20 songs over and over and over.

Battery life seems to be about 7-8 hours, and this thing charges very quickly. It's a breeze loading songs on to it -- iTunes is very intuitive, and blows the socks off MusicMatch.

The best aspect of the iPod is it's menu system. When I show people my Mini, they're consistently amazed that I can pull up any of my five hundred or so songs in just a second with a twirl of my fingertip.

At $249, it's a must-buy, unless your music collection is larger than 4GB, in which case you should probably spring for the full-sized iPod 20GB for $50 more.
