The iPod mini is so much more beautiful when you see it with your own eyes. It is half an inch thick and about the size of a business card – just appropriate for its name. The metallic aluminum tube-shaped casing feels comfortably cool and tremendously solid in the hand. 3rd generation iPods really feel heavy when compared to this 3.6 oz iPod mini. You must pay attention you don’t forget you have put it in your pocket. It is perfect for people who like to exercise and go jogging, and it can be purchased with an optional armband accessory.
A ground-breaking new scroll control with four push buttons embedded inside can be found below the bright display. The ClickWheel looks just like any standard iPod wheel, but it performs several complex functions and helps you browse through hundreds of songs.
