Does the iPod mini scratch very easily?

that's for ALL of apple's products.

It's supposed to have an anodized aluminum shell. Just wondering if it protects any better than the plastic on the regular iPods.

actually no, i don't have small hands. but you bring up a good point, the ACTUAL size of the two ipods aren't hugely different, but the overall effect of the smaller size is pretty amazing. the biggest contributor is most likely the reduction in weight.

I agree about the 2500 song comment. But capacity is a selling point regardless. I think they coulda made ipods look better in general. It's so 1980s.
