   My friend has had her mini for over like 4 years or something, and it is still working great, so I would say a few more years on it.

   It depends on the usage habits. I have a first gen mini that still works perfect and the battery lasts as long as I need. The most common problem with these is that the battery fails. You can get replacements online for $12. My wife’s 3rd generation iPod 40GB battery failed last year and she wanted a nano for size and battery performance reasons. I just bought her one for our anniversary. The color screen is well worth it and the battery does last longer.

   It will last a long time, but if you want the color display or album art it might be worth the upgrade. You can sell your old one on ebay or something.
