Came across this online at the Washington Post Online a few minutes ago. Looks like the Mini will be making it into stores on Friday the 20th after all. Not sure what size files and number of tunes the reviewer used to test battery life, but I will take nearly 10 hours any day of the week.

Take a look:

I am guessing we will see an onlsaught of these reviews in the next week.

Yet another review where the battery exceeds the 8 hours that Apple has put on the spec sheet. I am debating picking up a Blue mini for exercise usage and longer dog walks -- more common than you would think with 2 Labs under 16 months.

i wouldn't be surprised if the next generation of regular-size iPods took on this design. i bet most people prefer the clickwheel over the touch-sensitive buttons, and the scratch-resistant, extruded aluminum case would be a nice change as well.

...and it appears that the first round of MiniPods have shipped from Apple to those who purchased from Apple's online store. Check it out: http://www.ipodlounge.com

ipodlounge forums says they corrupted the database or something... lost the last 60 days worth of users and posts!

That sucks. Thank god I was not trolling for some advice or information over there. Someone is having a less than enjoyable President's Day "off" today...

I like the review I just read about the Mini. (GoD!!! This is where it all started 2+ weeks ago!!!!!)

Its always fun to second-, third-, and fourth-guess the decisions you make (or almost make) thanks to the feedback and opinions here at head-fi.
