We were asked to provide opinions on the functionality of both units - and from those that have used them (Touch - not Mini, which is quite old now. There's a somewhat monstrous difference between them).
And there are millions who are sheep as well Chris. There are other mp3 units out there that are just as good as iPods, and in terms of sound quality, better.

As to my iPod mini, no, it was not mistreated. If you read up on it, you'll see that the first, and 2nd gen iPod mini units had MASSIVE battery issues. Go Google it and you'll see what I'm talking about. It was bad enough that a lawsuit was taken against Apple about it (and Apple settled I might add). Of course, Apple Australia did SFA, since the lawsuit in question was based in the US, and Apple Australia wasn't going to do jack unless a mass lawsuit in Australia eventuated. Apple is not a nice company.

Oh, and by the way, I used to work for Apple Australia. I've seen more about that company than I can legally repeat here. They are one nasty company. Period.
