You taken a look at the new iRiver H10? I'd definitly go for one of these before I went with an iPod mini. Only 20 bucks more brand new, 279.99 MSRP. It has 25% larger capacity, 50% longer battery life, color screen, voice recorder, FM tuner, FM recorder and a digital image viewer. What's the iPod mini have? Well I guess it is an Apple with iTunes. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif I've had both an Apple iPod and an iRiver H320, the iRiver wins hands down. Also comes in grey, red and platinum. Look into it! http://www.iriveramerica.com
go on ebay look for those refurb sealed 3rd gen that people are selling...apple cleared those out of stock a while ago and so they are on ebay...click wheel is cool and all but so are the buttons with red lights underneath...
I have a pretty much brand new 20GB Ipod. It has less than an hour of playing time and still has the plastic over it. I have everything that came with it as well, could let it go for $250 shipped.
