which do you think would be a better buy? The mini is much smaller and has a 4gb memory, which holds about 1000 songs, and costs $250. For $50 more, I can get a regular one that has 15gb memory, and holds about 10000 songs. What would you do?

Whoa, I just noticed that they dropped the 15gb and lowered the price on the 20gb. Sweet, now I can get a 40gb for what I expected to pay for a 20!

The regular is a much better deal, for $50 more you get 5 times the memory than the mini.

according to the mac store which i visited yesterday with (twintipskier1260), for $300, you get the 15gb, and for like 350=20... but i like the 15gb because of the rounded edges and i like the white much better than the other 5 colors. i would never have 3000 songs, or probably 1000, but i like the style of the 15gb, regular size ones

I love my iPod. It's sick. Its a 3rd Gen. with the 4 button interface. I still think its pretty sweet, I am not a fan of the Click Wheel, so it suits me better. The only change (between Gen. 3 and 4) on it is the Click Wheel.

no, and the OS for the 4g is a newer one (3.0 - but people with 3g ipods are still stuck with 2.2 cause apple doesn't have a new update for those ones yet)

Get a Creative or iRiver if money is an issue. Or even if it isn't for that matter.

Go with the I pod regualar, you can get a new one off ebay for 180, the 15 g. I have a 40 g, which holds 10,000 songs, and I dont think I would ever get a mini. 4000 songs arnt that much, plus you can use them as data storage, so you could bring around videos of your skiing in your ipod and brag whenever your near a computer!

Yeah, I have a Zen Xtra and it works perfectly for me - the size difference means nothing to me, especially considering the cost for an iPod of the same capacity. I think the original Zen had a pretty small screen.

When it comes down to it, they all do the same thing pretty much - figure out how much storage you think you'll ever need go for whatever you can get the best deal on. Bear in mind you'll probably underestimate how big a hard drive you need though. I thought 5Gb would be way more than I'd ever need but now I've got 13Gb of mp3s and a few Gb of photos on mine.

but ipods are so much cooler.

Originally i wanted a mini just cause they're small and it was cheaper but now that it's 20gb it's just too big a deal to pass up.

Yeah, it's a hard drive, so you can put anything on it. I have a beta of the next Apple OS (10.4) and I actually installed it on my ipod so I didn't have to overwrite what I already have. You can boot from it just like any other hard drive.

that's way sick. I like the new lack of 4 button interface, and 20gb for the former price of 15

My 3rd Gen. just broke, disk corruption. I will be taking it back to the Apple Store, hopefully receiving a new 4th Gen. The only part I dont like about the 4th gen is that you have to click in the middle select button, I liked the Tap a little better. But its a small price to pay for a 12 hour battery life.

because there is a difference between scrolling and clicking, to change songs you must actually click down the button and scrolling just rub your finger down around the wheel
