It certainly makes the iPod mini more attractive--I've always felt the storage space was way too small to justify the price. I love my 40GB model mostly, but there are features that are very annoying for the classical music buff. However this is true of almost all brands.
I broke down and ordered some real earphones. The ones that come with it bite. I'm not excessively picky about actual sound quality up to a certain point, but they hurt my ears physically. Anyway my new ones--Shure E2c, which seem to be at the bottom end of the feeding chain for "good" earphones and at the top (or a bit more) of what I'm willing to pay--are supposed to be here on Friday, so we'll see.
