Hi,
I am going to buy a new mp3 player, as mine is only a 256 MB thing and i want at least a couple of GB.

I was looking at the iPod Mini 5GB version, but i read somewhere that they can only be charged through usb and they do not come with chargers anymore. This is not ideal for me as i am planning to take this abroad with me, and unless the hotel has usb ports alongside its mains power plugs then its gonna be a pretty boring holiday...

Does anyone know if they do not come with a charger?? if they dont i dont think ill buy one, ill just get a philips mp3 player ive seen...

cheers

That's Apple for you. I knew they had to do some sort of trade off in return. Skanky hos.

Of course, for relatively little extra money you can get a 40G or 60G model of whatever, and everyone's happy.

You don't get them with the 'second generation' of minis, they removed them so they could reduce the price. The same as what Creative will do when they release the 4GB and 6GB Zen Micros.

That's what happends with the battery after quite a few recharges. It wasn't that great in the first place - the improved minis now out offer 10 hours play time, more space and are cheaper. Grrrrr

You don't get chargers with iPod Minis!?

Hahahahaha.

What a con, if they used AA batteries I could understand it, but you NEED the charger to work the iPod!
