Talk:IPod Mini

message: Sounds like it was written by a 4 year old, stupidly biased and waffles on about how the mini is superior to nano, as well as being incorrect, the mini runs on a hd, whereas the nano runs on flash memory. Nova prosp3kt 15:17, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Maybe I'm stupid but I didn't see anywhere on the page about how the first generation iPod minis had problems with clicking noises due to poor design. Supposedly there was a very connection between the board and the casing and when you would squeeze the mini or simply after repeated use, the music would crackle and click. This would explain the extreme shortage in supply right after the minis came out.Will 21:55, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

What is this 5gb Ipod mini? Didn't the original mini also have 4gb storage? Jarwulf 23:27, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: Is the storage medium a Hard Disc that can handle almost unlimited data changes or a FlashRAM that will run out when I modify the contents of it 10,000 - 1,000,000 times?
:It is a hard disk (and no hard disk I know of has the implied infinite life). The iPod Nanos use solid-state flash memory. StephenHildrey 19:43, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

message: the picture is almost definatly copyright violation. It's right from apple isn't it? I'm going to change it to the older mini pic I uploaded a while ago. it doesn't look as good but it's legit. revert if the newer pic is legit.  Current image is NOW straight from apple but legit. 68.226.77.120 08:02, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Removing sentence: ‘The "broken" iPod mini will keep playing until it tries to load more music into its memory from the hard drive.’ — This isn't the only way it can break: it can break in various ways. If it's dropped, it can break. —Tokek 16:36, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Some clarification on the purpose of the laser etching may be useful, probably just a few words are all that's required. Like, is it just so you can have your name permanently on the iPod, in case it gets stolen or something? --Super Jamie 09:40, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Its simply so you can personalize your iPod. Some people put quotes or a lyric from a song. Many just put their names. Regardless of whats on there, it can be used to identify an iPod is it is stolen. AquaStreak 13:38, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I added a youtube video to a scene from Borat, where he discusses the iPod mini, as a reference for the popular culture section. Is this sufficient as a reference?NightLord 20:19, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd say so.  I knew it was in the film, but just blindly saying it without some kind of references fails WP:V.  Should be fine.  Thanks! PaulC/T+ 22:01, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Changing "ultra-thin CompactFlash Microdrive hard drives"
to "Microdrive hard drives (CompactFlash II)"
since there is a distinct difference between Microdrive and Compact Flash. "Ultra-thin" is meaningless in this context given that Compact Flash is thinner than Microdrive/CompactFlash II.

replies: text: Most iPods are not "supported". They still run iPodLinux fine; you just can't cry to the developers if something screws up. Honestly, my 4G's ("not supported") work with iPodLinux better than my 3G ("supported"). AquaStreak 13:46, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Per MOS:TM, we should present the product name as "iPod Mini", not "iPod mini". There is examption for the initial "i" because it is a distinctive mark of the product and there's an exemption for improper caps in the first two letters, but "Shuffle Mini" should be capitalised per standard title case.

replies: text: I didn't change it because I'm lazy, not because I think it should stay that way. So ... be my guest =) It may deserve some short mention of the nonstandard capitalization in the lead if you do make the change. –xeno (talk) 12:44, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

text: I tried to change the title of this article to “iPod Mini” instead of “IPod Mini” since a lowercase i is the correct way to spell this product, but the move attempt failed because it said that I was trying to move the page to its current title... how do we fix this?
