Stuart: I discovered recently that one type of Apple USB keyboard will recognize/recharge the iPod Shuffle, while another one that looks indentical won't.
In my experience, the keyboards that have the USB ports at either corner of the keyboard will _not_ charge or sync the Shuffle, while newer ones that have the USB ports close together in the back center of the keyboard, will charge and sync it. I have confirmed this using each type of keyboard with an iMac G3 and an eMac. I would suspect the Mini would be the same. I bought one of these USB-ports-in-the-center at CompUSA a few weeks ago for about $30.
