iPod Mini disadvantage: No album name!
Specifically on the "now playing" screen.
Knowledge Base Article
"As part of its compact size, iPod mini has a slightly smaller display than iPod. As a result, iPod mini's Now Playing screen does not include the current song's album name (Figure 1). Even so, iPod mini's software recognizes the album field and uses it like iPod does when browsing songs by album."

I don't know about you, but I use that info all the time. I would certainly miss it.
And there doesn't seem to be any simple way of even checking the name of an album that's playing without trial and error navigation through the "browse" menu.
I expect this will be addressed in the next update because I expect a lot of users will complain about this.
