[edit] Opening sentence(s)
Sounds like it was written by a 4 year old, stupidly biased and waffles on about how the mini is superior to nano, as well as being incorrect, the mini runs on a hd, whereas the nano runs on flash memory. Nova prosp3kt 15:17, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] iPod 1st gen issues
Maybe I'm stupid but I didn't see anywhere on the page about how the first generation iPod minis had problems with clicking noises due to poor design. Supposedly there was a very connection between the board and the casing and when you would squeeze the mini or simply after repeated use, the music would crackle and click. This would explain the extreme shortage in supply right after the minis came out.Will 21:55, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Glitches
Should the bullets for the glitches be numbered? I don't see why... Trhaynes 21:44, Nov 1, 2004 (UTC)
What is this 5gb Ipod mini? Didn't the original mini also have 4gb storage? Jarwulf 23:27, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- It only had 4Gb storage. -- ChrisO 23:55, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] About the Storage Item?
Is the storage medium a Hard Disc that can handle almost unlimited data changes or a FlashRAM that will run out when I modify the contents of it 10,000 - 1,000,000 times?
- It is a hard disk (and no hard disk I know of has the implied infinite life). The iPod Nanos use solid-state flash memory. StephenHildrey 19:43, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] copyvio
the picture is almost definatly copyright violation. It's right from apple isn't it? I'm going to change it to the older mini pic I uploaded a while ago. it doesn't look as good but it's legit. revert if the newer pic is legit. Current image is NOW straight from apple but legit. 68.226.77.120 08:02, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Breakage
Removing sentence: ‘The "broken" iPod mini will keep playing until it tries to load more music into its memory from the hard drive.’ — This isn't the only way it can break: it can break in various ways. If it's dropped, it can break. —Tokek 16:36, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
"Many owners of an iPod Mini who are very happy with it would say that Apple just threw a perfectly good iPod into a trash can like a peice of rotten food, also the Mini's discontinuement means that owners of an iPod Mini can no longer buy Acsesories for it, there is a possibility that because of this many owners of an iPod Mini who are angry at Apple for discontinuing it will not but any of the next generation iPods and refrain from buying anything from Apple in the future."
I'm a noob to Wikipedia editing and all, so I won't touch this. I'm pretty sure it should be deleted, though. Weasel words by the pound.
If you drop your mini into a bowl of electrified poo it will also break. Trust me JayKeaton 07:24, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Connectivity
2nd gen mini supports firewire and USB2 - it only came with a USB2 cable however. Have updated article to reflect this
[edit] Laser etching?
Some clarification on the purpose of the laser etching may be useful, probably just a few words are all that's required. Like, is it just so you can have your name permanently on the iPod, in case it gets stolen or something? --Super Jamie 09:40, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Borat reference
I added a youtube video to a scene from Borat, where he discusses the iPod mini, as a reference for the popular culture section. Is this sufficient as a reference?NightLord 20:19, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
