Conclusion: iPod mini not recommended!


If you remember about 18 posts back i wrote an article on what to do if your iPod mini was playing up, well mine was playing up and after reseting it i thought all my problems had gone away- but i couldn't have been more wrong!

My iPod mini continues to be a complete pain in the ass, after charging it up it used to be ok for at least the first few minutes after, but no, it has got to the stage of just crashing all the time it doesn't want to play any of my music.
Now you could be saying 'yeah probably because you're treating it so badly'... well my iPod has been sitting by my computer doing absolutely nothing, so i basically haven't touched it, and when i did it was my most prized possession so treating it badly would be a complete sin to me.

Im concluding that iPod mini really isn't a recommendation if you are still thinking of getting an iPod, all the other iPods don't seem to be having any trouble as far as i know in being able to do what it says it can on the box (being able to cope with thousands of songs), but iPod mini seems to start to fail when you get near the amount it says it can hold.
However it doesn't only have this problem, the main problem is inside it doesn't have an extra protective layer like all the other iPods because it doesn't have any room, its just all squeezed in together, so it can very easily be damaged or things inside start to loosen like screws, etc.

So the other iPods all have these protective layers and they haven't been known to break, so definaltly if you are still keen to get an iPod save up your money for the bigger more expensive ones, because your iPod mini will not last long!

Im currently very very disapointed with apple not being able to fix this problem..
I really am hoping they do figure out how to make this better soon!

Check out my last article on what i said about iPod mini and how to fix any problems http://homepage.mac.com/made_to_last_3000/MyWorld/C1531237748/E288552682/index.html

These tips might still help you, but in this article what i'm basically trying to say is that if you don't currently have an iPod mini but want one then its not a good idea! Save up and get more for your money with the other iPods, i personally would recommend the original ipod or the iPod Photo.
