In March 2004, reports of sound glitches with the new iPod mini first emerged at the ipodlounge.com discussion board[1]. After numerous news sources picked up on this, Apple acknowledged that some users have been reporting the same problem. Some units would start playing static over the earphones, instead of music; research among users has determined that the earphone connection inside the unit is prone to breaking off from the unit's circuit board.

With 2 or 4 gigs, you've either got a small collection or you move tracks around. Apple undoubtedly sells more units and makes more on each unit. The 2 GB drive proves to small for a large portion of users who move up to the 15 gig.
