Apple iPod 4 GB mini M9160LL/A (Silver)

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 youll forget youre carrying it. Until people ask you about it, that is.

Personal Review: Apple iPod 4 GB mini M9160LL/A (Silver)

This is the smallest iPod that allows you to change out the 4 or 6GB hard drive for a CompactFlash card. The adapters cost less than $4. What this means is you can install any size CF card in this device. Many people already have installed up to 16GB CF cards. I'm about to install a 32GB Card, but I may wait a while until 64GB cards are commonly available.
Also, mod kits are available here on Amazon and also on eBay. A larger capacity battery will extend your playing time between charges. I plan to try and shoe horn a second battery into this device.

The second generation Mini's will run longer on a charger. Also the size CF card you install will also effect play time. In any case you should see a longer play time with a CF Card than the factory hard drive.

Finally, if you case gets a little beat up, and these all metal cases can take a beating it is cheap and easy to replace the case ~$15 with shipping for a new one--any color. Some people chose to paint their old case to make it unique. Parts are freely available. Keep your Mini alive and looking good.
