Good Points

Can store a lot of music and other information. Handy when you go abroad.


Bad Points

Battery died after 1.5 years. To replace it Apple said I have to pay them £166.
Inconvenient to load music to it. You could not just drag and drop a folder to it, you have to put it into their software first.
Requires a 3 additional software to have be installed on your computer, one to load music, one to have your iPod recognised by the iTunes, and iPod updater.


General Comments

When it was working I could not really complain. The only annoying thing was that I had a lot of hassle with their software and some songs were louder then the other so I have to keep changing the volume, that was very inconvenient when I was on the move. When the battery died and Apple told me on their website that it cost £166 to replace it I was shocked. I bought a battery from the ipodstop.co.uk for £17 but I could not open the iPod. After reading that Apple planned to have short life-span, fragile hard drives, and planned obsolescence for their iPods I decided not to waste a single penny any more on the Apple products and to buy something else.
