Apple iPod mini 4GB - Pink [M9435B/A]

However, there are a few problems:

+ price- for 40 more you could more than triple the storage

+ It doesn't take WMAs. This is fine if you have all your music on mp3s but kind of a pain if you don't.

+ Battery life. It only has 8 hours of battery (most users find there is even less) and the battery has to be replace professionally every six months or so depending on usage.

+ The headphones are rubbish

However it does have some great features like games, and the iPod will appeal to a lot of people.

To those prepared to look beyond the pretty design, I would recommend the Creative Zen Micro 5GB player, which has a GB more storage, holds WMAs, is generally cheaper and comes in 10 different colours (pink, dark blue, silver, black, red, light blue, orange, white, purple and lime green).
