 
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. Available
on Mac and Windows.
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 colours: silver, gold, green,
pink or blue. (All shiny.)
Autosync your iPod mini with Mac and Windows
iTunes 4.6 lets you organise your music on your Mac or Windows
PC and automatically transfer it to iPod mini. Whether you’ve
ripped your CD collection to MP3 or made your own track with
GarageBand, you can take it with you wherever you go. Your
iPod mini includes both a FireWire and a USB 2.0 cable for
high-speed transfer from your Mac or PC. In fact, you can
move an entire album from your computer to your iPod mini
in seconds flat. With the industry’s only true Auto-Sync,
your iPod mini is always up-to-date, mirroring the latest
changes you’ve made in iTunes. And if your collection
on your computer is bigger than iPod mini, you can let iTunes
automatically choose a selection of songs to fill it up.
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 store restaurant
reviews to nightlife guides, and 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.
