Product Description

It holds thousands of favorite songs and hundreds of personal playlists, making iPod the ultimate expression of individuality. And that's just on the inside. You can also add your own personal stamp to the outside... literally. Just order a custom laser engraving.Apple offers iPod owners the chance to add two lines of laser-engraved text on the back of their iPod. Some owners get their names engraved on their iPods, and there's nothing wrong with that. But why stop there? A favorite saying could fit perfectly. So could a line from a special poem or song. How about a little mystery? Your engraving could include made-up words and phrases, or the name of your first-grade teacher who inspired you to become the person you are today. Let your friends guess that.If you're giving iPod as a gift, add an engraving to make it even more special. The recipient's name is certainly a safe choice. Same with "Happy Birthday, " "Happy Anniversary, " or "I love you." Consider also adding an extra touch of personalization by including a message with meaning to only you and the recipient: special dates, movie titles or vacation spots.

Customer Reviews

Meh
It has a decent capacity, and it plays music, which is all I really care about. The battery does not last, so I always have mine plugged in, but it gets the job done.

Terrible
Complaints are thus: I have never in my life had any hardware or software give me half the amount of trouble this one product has, and this includes my cartridge blowing Nintendo days.

-Battery has been replaced 3 times under warranty. Still doesn't work.
-Never got the USB charger to work (the wall adapter to fix this ranges from $30-60, which their tech support will be more than happy to sell you).
-Battery never lasted more than 2 hours after two or three uses.
-The potential to "break" your ipod through "improper" software use ensured a few dozen reboots.
-Toss in a heapin' helpin' of branded software like itunes and quicktime that ensure you can never use anything BUT their product.

I don't think I will ever purchase anything from apple again. If you can avoid them, do. Their products don't last for poop.

Not worth the money!!!!
I got an iPod mini as a gift from my parents for my birthday almost 2 years ago. I have had to have the Apple store replace it with a new one twice. The first one that I got wouldn't turn on at all. The second one, the wheel wouldn't stay locked, then it wouldn't hold a charge, and by the time I brought back to the store it was completely spazzing. The third and most recent replacement mini that they gave me had been working fine but as i was using it, all of a sudden the screen faded so now the screen is useless. The people at the Apple store told me that they had never seen this happen before and had no idea why it happened. Its not under warranty anymore and they told me that the only thing I could do would be to send it to an online repair shop or basically use it as an iPod shuffle. I never dropped any of the iPods, they never got wet, there is no rhyme or reason (even the Mac genius' couldn't figure out why this has happened) for why I have had 3 of them not work. This iPod mini has been nothing but a hassle for the past 2 years, please save yourself the time, effort, and money. I wish someone had warned me.
