I currently own the original 5GB iPod. Unfortunately I don’t use it nearly as much as I should. My iTrip seems to be broken, so I don’t use it on the boat or in the car. I have yet to fill my 5GB, but I know I could if I tried. But, the real thing on my mind is reducing the physical size, not necessarily the storage.

The iPod shuffle, even at the 1GB size, won’t hold all of my music. I don’t always want to hear a shuffle of the songs, but it is incredibly small.

The iPod mini is tiny too, but huge in comparison to the Shuffle. It will certainly hold all of what I have on my 5GB since it is nearly 4GB itself. My main concern then probably becomes the price factor: is the iPod mini a better product even though it’s nearly $100 more?

Any takers?
