Actually, the ball bearings are inside the caps - you just pull on the caps, and they come off (but the bearings keep them from merely slipping off, or getting loose). There's no need to depress anything to steal it, but, then again, it's hanging from your neck, so I'd assume it'd be pretty obvious if someone reached for it!3Memos said:

Again, sorry, born in the Midwest here, not too familiar with British/Kiwi euphemisms. I sort of understand the "lack of action" reference, not too sure of the rest of it. Come again?Blue Velvet said:You bet!
1Gb please, my card is getting feeling neglected from lack of action...
What? Sorry, I couldn't hear you. The volume was turned up a bit too high on my Shuffle, and I was distracted while reading my weather forecast on my 4G.Blue Velvet said:Apple Store only 15 mins away and not a drop to drink.
And now, I almost detect an unmistakable air of smugness about your posts. Like the cat who has swallowed the cream, like the man who has his cake and is eating it right this very minute.
I hate you.

Don't forget that you get to work with Macs for a living. I have to do it on the side. You win.Blue Velvet said:You bet!

If you could wear one of those and a portable generator around your neck then, well, my mental image of you is way off base!Blue Velvet said:
Well, I think the 1GB would take too long to load. If you get one and get annoyed at the load times, I suppose I'd consider trading my 512MB to you for it, maybe, if I'm feeling generous, probably even at no charge to you, simply because I respect the work you do around here.Mr. Anderson said:Great to hear that its a good buy. I'm probably going to buy a 1 gig version when they're available the next time I'm in Chicago or Indy

jsw said:I'll find out tomorrow....
BTW, there's no way of telling a 512MB from a 1GB version, as far as I can tell. So, although I have the lowly (but in stock) 512MB, I can hold my head as high as a 1GB owner.

I don't see it.
BTW, another plus for the Shuffle: just took a nap with it. As I was about to fall asleep, I pulled out the earphones and that was that. No worries.
Hey, no worries - when you can afford it, get a Shuffle to go along with your mini. I do really like the latest iPod, but the ones with a display and hard drive have a number of advantages as well.baummer said:Thanks for a great review! I just got my iPod 4GB mini...should of waited as I've used maybe just shy of 1GB so far.
