Apple iPod mini 4 GB

Oh how I love me gadgets. For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated with small electronic devices. Some were very useful, others not so much (still don’t understand why I thought I would need an electric hairbrush….) however this latest addition to my gadget collection most definitely fits into the former. What is it? *************** Basically, it plays MP3 files. When you download a song on the internet, or burn a CD onto your computer, this is the format (with a few others similar ones) that is used to store them. The files are a lot smaller than they are in CD format and this ... more

I originally bought a Rio MP3 player in Birmingham. This was great, though the memory wasn't very big and I would have had to buy a memory card (which was reli expensive)! However, after having had it for approximately a week, and it played up, then wouldn't turn on. I couldn't take it back to Birmingham, so I had to go to my local store.

Unfortunately though, they had always been just out of my reach on the cost front ... more
