    Good Points: Design is to die for; itunes is great to work with.

    Bad Points: Just not reliable enough at the price.

    General comments: I have had my Ipod Nano 3rd Gen 8gb for 14 months. It is in its third life, having been repaired (replaced, actually twice) and is now "freezing up" again. Clearly there is too much crammed into the space for it all to be reliable. I was at an independent repairer and they told me on the QT that they'd had a lot of nano 3gs back.

    The Apple iPod works great for the first year... Then the warranty runs out and they coincidently break A waste of money because they can't even fix it and im not paying £130 for a new one

    The Apple iPod looks great and has an excellent sound quality. I don't find it easy to set up and it also scratches easily. It is helpful to buy a cover to stop it from scratching!

    I am now on my second iPod. The first one lasted 18 months - un repairable - threw it away and bought a 30gb. Had this just over 12 months. There was a connection problem with it - would only work by squeezing the bottom right hand corner. Took it back to the shop in Manchester - had to make an appointment to see one of their "geniuses" I thought he was going to be able to repair it - he looked at it and told me what I already knew, that there was a loose collection. No problem he said I ca ...

    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.

    I think that the iPod shuffle that they have out is great, simply because it is cheap. For only 78.99 I would argue that is not a bad deal.

    Over-rated. Apple has great sales department and advertising. Unstable machine, not good service. Case scratches too easily even when kept protected.

    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 ...

    Despite the bad points this is still the daddy of all mp3 players. So what if it scratches a bit - you listen to it not look at it right ?? Battery life is not that bad as its made out to be. Its very easy to get to your music and it sounds great on a system or through headphones and that is ultimately what this all about. Look at all the others, check out the reviews, study the prices hard then ignore all of that and buy one of these - you won't regret it !!

    I hate it when companies put out bigger, better etc. within weeks of me spending huge bucks making my purchase almost obsolete and that's what happened with me and my iPod.

    The iPod is OK but apple need to bring out some sleeker newer editions to really get the people buying.

    I bought this iPod for my wife as a present, but it is frustrating that all the video functions are so complicated, plus it seems that we may have to spend more money on software to convert our DVDs before we can watch them on this device. I think that overall it's more trouble than it's worth, and it has caused arguments, which is the opposite of what I wanted to happen.

    It is bad enough that the iPod Nano locks up continuously, but it is even worse that Apple makes it impossible for the customer to do anything about it. Just try their customer service for yourself! We have owned it since January 3rd 2006, after buying it directly from Apple. That was a mistake. If we would have purchased it from a retailer we could at least try to gain their support for such a poorly designed product.

    The battery completely died after 2 weeks, and the problem could not be solved using the troubleshooting guide. When speaking to others I realised how often people have problems with the battery on the Apple iPod, but they usually resolve it. It is amazing how Apple are still having this problem.
