Weighing in at just 3.6 ounces and showing off in three new shades, iPod mini fits your lifestyle and your bag, whether it be cocktail purse or messenger duffle. The chic, matte anodized aluminum case resists stains and scratches, all the while protecting your iPod mini from, say, the jostle of overzealous paparazzi. Recessed in the case to keep its surface pristine, the 1.67-inch (diagonal) backlit screen displays full song and album titles, artists names and more. And iPod mini lasts up to 18 hours on a single charge(1): enough for a transatlantic flight, the limo ride to your hotel and a few solid hours of boutique shopping. Of course, iPod mini works just as well for your everyday pursuits. With up to 25 minutes of skip protection, you can even walk the dog in style.

Pros: Excellent design, great ergonomics
Cons: battery issue?
I'm a great fan of Apple and laud their fantastic concept and design for the iPods, The Mini is certainly quite small and portable, and eminently useable.
Having had it for a year, though, I am having some very strange problems. I plug it into the iMac and nothing happens - iTunes does not display the normal synchronizing and "okay to disconnect" messages, and the iPod screen is blank. I have rebooted it endless times, to no avail. When playing, sometimes it just outright stops, even though the battery indicator shows 80% full.
This is sporadic behavior - sometimes it works fine.
I have heard of battery problems with the first generation iPods, and wonder if they have not migrated to the Mini. I think this nifty unit is going to go back for some repair.
