PC Magazine Awards iPod mini Top Honors
by , 12:20 AM EST, December 23rd, 2004
The Apple iPod mini has taken 'best mobile device' award in PC Magazine's 21st annual technical excellence awards, the magazine announced Wednesday.
PC Magazine editors wrote that while it's "not cheap", "if you want the best, drop some extra dough and pick up the iPod mini."
We love that we can charge it using the USB 2.0 connection and that it's sturdy enough to survive drops and falls," editors wrote. "We especially enjoy the envious looks we get walking down the street with it...Other music players might cost less or have more memory, smaller bodies, or more features, but none offer the iPod mini's combination of silky smooth operation, graceful design, and techno-chic style."
The G5 iMac was a finalist for desktop PC, but was not awarded first place.
The award winners appear in the January 2005 edition of the magazine.
