So, I can get a 4GB iPod mini for $249, or I can get a 15GB iPod for $50 more. What exactly would my incentive be to buy the smaller one again, other than a shiny blue case? Makes no sense to me at all, but I bet they sell a whole bunch of 'em anyway. It is awfully cute.

I know -- I was all like OOOH CUTE and then I was like YUCK PRICE.

Possible Advantages of the Smaller One

I know essentially nothing about iPods other than that they include a hard disk, so apologies in advance if this makes no sense, but I can think of two natural reasons why someone might want the little one:

1) It might be physically smaller and therefore more convenient to carry around in a pocket.

2) 4GB might be more disk space than that person could plausibly use (I'm not sure how big MP3 files generally are -- what can I say -- I actually follow evil empireTM guidelines on copyright).

Dude, That is freaking cool!!!

They're solid state...no moving parts (other than the buttons under the SS scroll wheel) and thus (in theory) more bulletproof.

They're also smaller.

It's a large USB chip storage unit (like my keyfob ;) that also happens to play music well? I wonder if I could justify one for work as a data transfer device...
