f8lee's Full Review: Apple iPod mini 2nd Generation Blue (6 GB) MP3 Pla...
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.
