With acres of press coverage and over four million Google hits, the iPod Mini certainly needs no introduction. It has quickly become the standard for medium-capacity MP3 players, with other companies rushing to imitate its svelte design and elegant interface. Apple has responded to the attack of the clones with the new version of the Mini, which boosts the storage capacity from 4GB to 6GB and the battery life from eight hours to 18. Strangely (or perhaps not, considering the booming iPod accessories industry), no new features have been added so you'll still need to splash out extra for an FM radio or voice recorder. That said, you do get a calendar, contacts book and to-do list, as well as four fun games.
