Default Shuffle vs. Mini

I am thinking buying one of this. But I cant make up my mind.

I was told that Shuffle had beter procesor and is "flash" based. On the other hand, Mini has disk and older procesor, therfore sound is not as quite good as Shuffle.
How long will it take before priceses start going down after Nano?

I am pretty sure that that nano and the mini are the same price.
right around $200 bucks.
I have both the mini and the shuffle.
I don't use the shuffle b/c of the lack of funtionality.
They both sound the same to me, using the stock earphones.
I would go for the Nano if i were you.

Yeah, go for a Nano, even if its just the 2gb. Shuffle is for people on the go all the time. Unless you're never at a desk, or in a chair, the shuffle is NOT for you.

Thanks to the Nano, the Mini is dead. Nano uses same kind of flash memory in the shuffle. Sound quality is the same across all versions of the iPod. (don't know where you would have heard differently)

2gb iPod Nano (white or black) $199 us dollars. Same as Mini, but much more.

The shuffle, to me, is a waste of money. I have a mini, and it is great, but I would NEVER have the patience to flip through every song to find the one I feel like because there is no screen. The nano looks really cool.

i would think the one with the screen and more features would have the faster processor ... it would only make sense.
