Good Points: None.
General comments: I purchased an iPod nano in November 2007, sent it in for repair in December and January 5 & 15. This last time it was returned to me with missing parts and when I called to talk with them they stated it was not their fault and refused to correct their mess. I now have over $400 into this useless machine and will never purchase from Apple again.

Over-rated. Apple has great sales department and advertising. Unstable machine, not good service. Case scratches too easily even when kept protected.- Read ntoutpost's review (67 words)

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 ...- Read tatika's review (208 words)

I have to admit when the iPod came out I was a critic due to the price and fragility of the devices. But time has proved a great healer as the technology has improved and there is a great choice of second hand products on the worlds favorite online auction site e-something-or-other :-).
I was tuned as my car stereo CD player went up toes-up and i started looking at new stereos when I happened to jump in a mates car one day and he pulled out his iPod with his little iTrip griffin FM transmitt ...- Read 00kowboi's review (834 words and 3 comments)

Purchased an Apple iPod about 18 months ago with accessories for around $500. First year things went somewhat smooth. However, shortly after warranty had expired, hard drive failed and battery life was non-existent. Attempted to have 'Genius Bar' at Towson store troubleshoot problems...however, w/ a superior attitude refused to examine iPod saying it was out of warranty but did offer to sell me a new iPod for $300 or to have my old one fixed for $250 (that's w/o diagnosing any issues). So at t ...- Read floyd75's review (153 words)

If you are a committed long-term traveller, are a victim of unreliable PC's or have not yet been brainwashed into having a permanent PC of your own, then iPod's are not for you.
Unlike other MP3 devices, the iPod only recognises software downloaded onto the original source PC. So, if your PC dies, or if like me you happen to be travelling around the world and not taking a laptop with you, you will be unable to 'add-to' your current playlist without iPod automatically deleting every track file i ...- Read dipichik's review (241 words and 1 comment)

I have had a couple of Apple iPod's for about 18 months or so, and I would not be without one. Once you have spent the time loading your CD's into iTunes, they are very easy to update, and great to use.
The only bad point is the battery, which does not last a particularly long time, but hey-ho.- Read Bew996's review (72 words)

The Apple iPod MP3 player has a horrible warranty standard.

I sent my first Apple iPod back twice. Finally, the 2nd time they realized that their product was in fact defective and sent me iPod #2.
iPod #2 - After three attempts at transferring songs from iTunes, it finally seemed to be working. Wrong! It transferred 4 songs out of 6500.
Numerous calls to Apple did nothing. Once again it was my PC's problem not the unit's. I then had a friend who also owns an iPod try it on his PC. Same results.
Still awaiting the return box.- Read psa24's review (120 words)

Sheer waste of money. I bought the 60 gb one 10 days back, and I want to sell it already. It has the worst quality and is a poor product by a brand like Apple.- Read imputetosin's review (34 words)

I loved it until I started to run with it. It's been three times already that my Apple ipod fails and cannot be restarted while I'm jogging. The representatives in the customer service tell me that I shouldn't place it on waist, but it fails even if I have it on my arm or hold it in my hand. Apparantly, the shocks from my steps interfere with the spinning of the hard drive and can cause the hard drive to freeze.
One more thing: if anything happens to your iPod, they will not give you a new one, ...- Read galynav's review (129 words)

Better to pay to some poor fellow than to buy an Apple iPod. It is a nightmare!
I bought one from Outstation. I hoped Apple must be having good quality control systems, and that the workings of one of their products must be reliable. Unfortunately, I was wrong on every count.
I tried everything, right from the resetting of the iPod to the updating of it, but nothing worked.
It stops playing songs. The iPod hangs and requires resetting every now and then, but that too does not work. In r ...- Read rajeshnrsinha's review (146 words)

When it is working the iPod plays beautifully and is easy to use.
However 2 problems with the iPod are:
1. It easily has technical problems i.e. corrupt disk, and you may have to reset it many times losing your data on it (if you haven't backed it up elsewhere)
2. The warranty/extended service program will not cover any iPod with a damaged LCD (which can easily be damaged even sitting in your bag) regardless of whether the current problem is related to the damaged screen or not.
In sum, wh ...- Read ekolidas's review (161 words)

The Apple iPod is very good when working, but if you get a faulty one, be prepared to send back. If you do buy one make sure you get from a reliable source where you can get money back or sent off to apple. My review may sound negative, and I assure you the iPod is the best, but the bad features are a tad annoying. If I had the choice again, I would still buy one, but the competition does seem to become more interesting.- Read appleuserUK's review (150 words)

When I first got my Apple iPod, it was a complete pain in the rear to get it set up on my computer. After talking to the half-retarded customer service reps (3 of them) for about 6 hours, I got it to work. Apparently their software isn't compatible with my Sony Minidisc player's software.
After getting it set up, it worked fine. Of the 3 iPods I've had, only one was a pain to set up so I guess it was a fluke. Anyways, the sound quality is very nice. My first one became super-scratched, so I hav ...- Read Kuramaroze's review (294 words)

My new Apple iPod battery lasted no more than 4 hours matter how long you charge it for. Do Apple customer support or authorized dealer care? They play the tag game. Well, I'm stuck with an iPod that I plug in AC full time. Truly disappointed.- Read embiencechaser's review (55 words and 1 comment)
