I think the mini should stay the same otherwise it would come close to being a shuffle.

if it got bigger it would be a regular ipod. its called mini for a reason.

i think take like .3 inches off the side .5 off the height. not to much but just a bit.

The Mini Should stay the same size. I agree with the above. If the mini changes size, it would encroach upon the regular ipod, or the shuffle.

i think either make it a tiny bit smaller or figure out how to make the screen normal size but without makingt he mini bigger, or only like atiny bit bigger.

at first i liked the mini's size, but the screen is just too small. so i have to say, go bigger. although, it's called the MINI so I guess it is going to stay compact. well, if it has to stay small, then definately dont make it any smaller.

They need to put the new 40gb platters into the mini size chassis, and just get rid of the regular ipod chassis. I don't know anyone who doesnt think the regular ipod is at least a little clunky.
