An ipod mini is too much like a used laptop IMO. Unless it's still quite new, I'm afraid to get them... Consider how small the harddrives are. Their lifespan isn't near that of a standard sized HD... Or the batteries. I hear lots about the regular ipod batteries going dead on users...

to me, ipods are over priced. But you could try buy.com, bargainbin.com, pricewatch.com, pracegrabber.com, ubid.com. But I don't think you'll find one for that price range.

ya same here. Apple was even sued by the people about the battery. Apple lost and gave $50 to each person that had there batteries die. And i dont think ipods are ganna go down in price. My friend was ganna wait to get the mini until the price went down. but like months later it was the same price. Even a few days ago at black friday and cyber monday the prices of ipods never went down....

just don't get an Ipod nano. They used a softer resin for the screen so it scratches REALLY easy and some people said it even scratches so bad you can't see anything on the screen and apple deleted every reveiw on their website complain about nano's screen.
