    There is an option of getting it engraved free on the website. That is really the only difference. Everything else you get will be identical if you didn't get it from apple.

    Oh yeah you get an iTunes CD in the box too.

    ^ what he said

    You might as well buy it from Apple though - they usually have the best prices for their own stuff :)

    Have they reduced the amount of accessories in the iPod mini box when the second generation of minis came out? I know that they have dropped the firewire and charger, but what else is missing?

    In my iPod mini box I got:
    - iPod mini
    - Belt clip
    - USB cable
    - Firewire cable
    - Mains charger (firewire)
    - UK style mains plug
    - User guide
    - Warranty booklet
    - Setup CD
    - Earbuds (foil sealed with 2 sets of fuzzy covers)

    Buy it from apple. There is no point on buying it elsewhere because apple controls the prices. When you buy it from apple your going to get much better service, so save yourself the trouble down the road and buy it direct.

    Don't shoot me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure they have a iPod mini in them.

    Plug your iPod into iTunes and go to the iPod options window. Select "Manually manage songs" or something like that. You can then go through your library and select the songs you want, dragging them into the iPod section of iTunes. (Remember to go through the Safely Remove Hardware before unplugging the iPod when you have Manually Manage Songs selected.) Plug it in to your family's computer and (I assume) drag the Podcasts into the iPod (I'm not sure about this, as I have never used Podcasts). Just remember that your play counts will not increase in iTunes as they do in your iPod, as they are no longer automatically syncronised.
