ipods are amazing electronics I will say but like every person who has owned an ipods for a long time (more than 2 years) they will have something come up. ipods that use disk hard drives have a huge tendency to break. Have you ever seen the ipod with the x's as eyes? most likely thats a broken hard drive and I've replaced the hard drives and they run like new aftarwards. My biggest suggestion is to get a nano because they use a flash hard drive which doesn't skip and crash like the other ipods do. However if you are good with your hands or you have buddies who know their stuff, they are in most cases really easy to assemble so fixing parts is a breeze and many times fairly in expensive if you can get a broken one fixed.
What I liked: Portability! Fits in pocket motorcycle cubby hole and small enough to mount w/velcro. Love to use while working construction to block out most noise from power tools and vacuums without diturbing other workers (using KOSS spark plugs). Really holds hours of entertainment. Don't care for: 1) A little difficult to navigate as compaired to the new 80GB version I bought for my daughter. Her iPod is SWEET! 2) If you listen to music that blends from song #1 right into song #2 (ie: Santana & Pink Floyd); your iPod mp3 format WILL put a break between songs. 3) Occasional freeze up. Just locks without being able to change ANY modes until battery dies. BUT: it's in repair/exchange right now. Might not be an issue with next one.
Pros: Holds thousands of songs EASY to control and navigate with the innovative click wheel Excellent user interface and easy to sync with iTunes Screen is clear, easy to read, and backlit with a easy on the eyes light Has a few little extra features, like a couple fun games to kill time Great sound quality Looks cool Since it is an iPod, the resale value is very good when you decide to get something else Comfortable to hold It'll sync with older computers unlike the latest iPods that only work with Windows XP and up or Mac OSX 10.4 and up Cons: Battery life isn't as good as newer iPods, but it is still very good and replaceable for about $6 if you do it yourself Doesn't have color screen meaning no pictures and video Bulkier than newer models, but not by too much Conclusion: Unless you want all the features of the newer iPods like pictuers, album artwork, and video, then this iPod would be perfect for you. It is great for music. Very easy to use since iTunes automates a lot of the work. Just a great player unless you want those fancy features that a lot of people never really put to much use anyway!Read full review
This item is simply great. For those of you who do not want a small 2 inch music player this is for you. It has some weight, and is a pretty good size, but nicely fits in your pocket. Great sound output Easy to use Some games included Color screen Easy controls Auto pause when earphones removed Excellent on battery life and charges quickly If it does freeze it's easy to reboot within seconds without losing information Calender included Contact information Can double as a storage device (Bootable and standard) Not the easiest to break as with most players It does have a moveable hard drive, BUT it will almost never skip, even when jumping up and down swinging it around wildly. Sleek, nice, and easy
I bought this MP3 player for my daughter. She's a freshman in college and the university offers Podcasts for most of her classes. I personally own and use a Creative Zen Micro and I think for the money, it's a better product than the Apple iPod. It is also a 20 GB MP3 player and brand new in the most stores, it's at least $100.00 less expensive than the Apple iPod. I tried talking my daughter into buying the Zen Micro but she just had to have the iPod. She likes it alot and uses almost everyday. When we bought it, the seller forgot to send the 2.0 USB cable, so she didn't have full use of it for the first two weeks she had it. I refused to go buy a cable because it is too expensive ($40.00). And I refused to go buy a Firewall card because the iPod would be the only product that I would currently use with it and for $40.00, I didn't see the value added in that! My daughter doesn't seem to dislike anything about her iPod, other than the color but she says she can live with it!!!Read full review
