Like the looks better, rounded corners, better battery and space, so good for nice long plane flights, car trips ect....

Only issue is weight and size.....for flying the smaller would be better...but I still say go with the regular.

of the non ipod mp3 players the best one was the rio, according to conde nast traveller, since it will also handle wma files as well as mp3 and still has good sound quality. If you want the statement of an ipod, then you're limited to just those, but if you're looking for an mp3 player....well....there are always other options

I vote for Ipod mini.

im looking into Mp3 players with large storage and looked at the ipods and didnt really think much of them because of all the bad comments.

Instead of an Ipod i might be getting this
http://www.sony.co.uk/ShowProduct.do?site=odw_en_GB&category=PAW+Network+Walkman&product=NW-HD1

^^^^ looks good

It has better everything i can think of except the price is aboout £50 quid more and aparently takes along time to download music onto it.

Yeah... I think both fit easily in my pockets... Even the regular iPod is still really small...

*shrug*
I guess I just need to goto the apple store and play with them a little... See what I like.

Thanks to everyone who voted, and everyone else, keep voting .

i suppose the test is to wear regular clothing and see if an ipod fits in your regular pockets comfortably.

Indeed... It's a tough choice... I like the simplicity of the iPod... but I like how small the iPod mini is... >.<

alright, I'm gonna have to say Ipod, even though everyone else seems to like the mini...Btw, I'm kinda new to the site I have been chattin here for about a month or so, and I enjoy it, but it is hard to be involved, hence me being in highschool...well anywayz, the reason I would choose the Ipod is mainly because of the storage capacity, That would be something I would buy, and use it for forever(at least until somethin better came out)...Thanks for your kindness everyone

I know I've had a similar poll before the FP crash, but I never really got a solid answer. based on looks and personal prefrence alone which would you be more likely to get...

The iPod

or

The iPodMini
And if the iPod mini, what color?[/font][/font]

iPod Mini

Just because they are cool and not as big as the normal iPod. Go for Silver I would or blue (I got a silver one). The pink and green I belive are girly or made more for the girls and the gold wouldn`t look right I don`t think, IMO!

I prefer size

That and I don't want to deal with color. Eventually i'll be getting an iBook, and they're white, so its gotta match

Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I'll choose mini, because they look pretty neat. Besides, smaller is better when it comes to electronics.

iPodmini
4GB
8 Hour Battery Life

iPod
20GB
12 Hour Battery Life

But specs don't really matter, because I'm not going to fill either of them, and I'll never need more then 8 hours of battery life.

on looks alone, the mini, but what are the specs?
