I've got two iPod Minis. One I got free from a vendor as a gift. The other I got as a b-day gift from a friend that I assume forgot I had one already.

I'm giving one to my Dad because he has been eyeing an MP3 player for a few months and asked for my help in purchasing one.

If I were to by a player on my own, I would probably end up with an iRiver or Creative unit.
