"iPod Mini"

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

Nokia are releasing a new MP3 Player (also a phone, but more of an MP3), it's 4GB and it looks quite good. Dunno about how much it'll cost though.

Nokia is hoping for a piece of the lucrative music player market with a handset capable of holding 4GB of songs and downloading on the fly.

The Nokia N91 is a smartphone "optimised for music" with a battery that lasts for a claimed 12 hours, longer than most iPods.

The tri-band phone is set up to allow downloading from music retailers, and has Bluetooth connectivity built in allowing phone-to-phone data swapping with other Nokia users.

Jonas Guest, vice president of music at Nokia, described the device as "the world's best mobile-connected jukebox".

"What sets the Nokia N91 apart is the fact that it is always connected: you can download new music while on the move, add it to your favourite playlist and then share your playlist with friends," he said.

Users can transfer music files from a PC to the phone using a USB 2.0 connection. Bose, Sennheiser and JPL are all providing audio accessories, including headphones and a speaker system.

The N91 is scheduled to be available by the end of the year.

I wouldnt buy a zen mirco though but i do recommend the zen micro.

Hmm, I wouldn't go for the Zen Micro, I'd just go for the Zen.

Seems more reliable.

My iPod Mini needs charging for about 4 hours and lasts two.


I hate it.
