I've developed a habit of rubbing the iPod against my shirt to remove fingerprints. I also use a paper towel dampened with Windex to remove oily smudges. But the all aluminum iPod Mini looks very tempting right now, just because it looks and feels so much more durable and professional.

It looks slippery, but it isn't really. Scratches and fingerprints are a much bigger problem. A lot of people, including my sister, solved all of these problems by getting an iSkin. It also looks like Apple has solved the scratch/fingerprint problem on their Minis by using brushed aluminum.
