Overview
Everything you love about iPod just got tinier. iPod
mini lets you bring along enough music for a three-day
weekend getaway in a package so small you’ll forget
you’re carrying it. Until people ask you about it,
that is.
Fashionably Compact
Apple engineers squeezed all the best features of iPod
into a case weighing just 3.6 ounces iPod mini features an
anodized aluminium case that resists stains and
scratches. The case weighs practically nothing, but
protects iPod mini in your pocket, purse or backpack.
Recessed in the case to keep its surface pristine
wherever you lay it, the 1.67 inch (diagonal) backlit
screen displays full song names and more. iPod mini
lasts up to 8 hours on a single battery charge
and like its (slightly) bigger brother, iPod mini
gives you over 25 minutes of skip protection.
Can Touch This
In fact, all the features of iPod are still under your
thumb. Always striving for perfection, Apple engineers
moved the iPod’s buttons under the wheel. The iPod
mini Click Wheel gives you the enhanced durability and
sensitivity of the iPod Touch Wheel, with buttons
underneath. The Click Wheel takes best advantage of
miniscule space and lets you scroll single-handedly
through 1,000 songs from your iTunes music collection.
You’ll find such thoughtful construction only from
Apple. Because, try as they might, the competition
can’t touch this.
Oh, one other minor detail, you can choose your iPod
mini in one of five trend-setting colors: silver,
gold, green, pink or blue, all shiny.
Games, Calendar, Contacts & Notes
Behind the Click Wheel of your iPod mini await
features that make it the world’s best digital music
player. Listen to your music as you fall asleep, and
wake up with music or an alarm. Store a copy of your
contacts, calendar and to-do lists on your iPod mini.
Or keep anything from restaurant reviews to nightlife
guides to news articles to exercise routines — right
at your fingertips. iPod mini also includes four fun
games you can play anywhere, a feature you’re sure to
appreciate the next time you’re standing in line or
waiting for someone. You can even play your music as
the soundtrack to the games— Music Quiz, Solitaire,
Brick and Parachute.
