iPod mini sucks.

damn it, got it when it first came out... broke for the 3rd fvckin time. won't keep charge, drains it in less than 30 minutes. first two were covered under warranty, now no more warranty. piece of sh!t.

 
i am gonna do some googling to see if i can replace the battery myself but if i cant, here comes the hammer
 
you can replace the battery yourself. BUT first I would suggest charging it to full. Unplugging it for a minute, then plugging it back in to charge to full again. Surprisingly I bet it'll take more than 20 mins to return to full charge. Do this about 3 times.

The battery indicator sucks on the iPods, the software will think it's at full charge and won't charge anymore.
 
I'm on my 3rd mini now and I just got it in late Feb for my birthday. The last one was defective right from the box.
 
greeaaaat. good things to look forward to for the ipod mini i gave as a present to my gf!

she loves it. but i cant stand the audio quality

I swear that Gurck wrote a script or something that notifies him when an iPod thread is made on Anandtech.
 
Boss, update after you have tried my suggestion. I'm really interested in seeing if that's the cause of most people complaints here about battery life.

will try it tonight, and let you know tomorrow...
 
I've had mine since they first came out as well. I've dropped it on hard linoleum several times. Still works like a champ. No problems with charging either.

Sounds like homie has bad luck. :Q

A very informed opinion I see...


funny thing is I agree almost 100% with you. I think the ipod itself is cool as well as their laptops but the rediculous prices they charge for them blows.
