Apple's iPod
The newest and easiest way to listen to music whenever, wherever is Apple's iPod and similar products by Apple, such as iPod mini. Both the iPod and iPod mini offer its consumers music and convenience, so I wanted to compare the two products to see which is a better buy. First of all, the iPod mini comes in different colors whereas the original iPod is available only in silver. Second, the iPod mini has a longer battery life, approximately 44% longer. The iPod mini is approximately 46% smaller than the iPod, but this also means that the screen on the iPod mini is smaller than iPod's screen, approximately 20% smaller. Also, the iPod holds 80% more songs than the iPod mini making it more desired by those people who enjoy a wide variety of music. Lastly, the price of the iPod mini is 46% less than the price of the original iPod.
So, with all of the stats on the iPod and the iPod mini, which is the better buy? I personally would buy the iPod mini because of the color change as well as the compactness of the product itself.

In making a fair comparison, you need to also think about the price, in order to determine value for money. I don't know about prices for these products but often the more expensive product is better and / or has more features, but that's the trade-off, isn't it.

I was just in the position to pick between the two iPods and I chose the mini. The battery life, size, and price make it much more attractive. Sure there is not as much space but does anyone really enjoy 20, 40, or 60 Gigs of their music collection. I have about 4-6 Gigs of music that I actually like so I couldn't justify spending anymore on a player.
