    Good Points: It looks quite good


    General comments: scroll pad is awful, library is cumbersome and user unfriendly - Itunes is awful. Too many faults to list and it is the only way of loading music onto the Ipod. Sound quality is iffy

    If you are the sort of person who would buy something because it looks nice, the iPod is the very fella for you, because I have nothing else good to say about it.

    It has no new features compared with my Archos apart from podcasts and does everything else less well - plus the archos does loads of snazzy stuff with add ons such as remote control and video links to tv, card readers.

    my sony ericsson mobile phone is a far superior player.

    It just seemed like I spent lots of time looking up the i pod online support pages. Unless you want to pay another 50 or so to have the warrenty extended for a second year, you could end up I pod less in less than 2 years. When I am forking out this much money for something, I want it to last for a few years.
    I had said I would never buy an I pod and I got taken in and jumped on the band wagon - I won't again.

    Ipods are too hard to work and need to be more user friendly

    The iPod hard drives fail and cannot be fixed. Apple will not repair hard drives, and the cost is equivalent to a new iPod. Apples do not expect hard drives to last for more than a year or so, and eventually all iPod's will break completely. Apple will not do anything to help fix your iPod unless you have Applecare, and even that covers you for only 24 months total.

    Ipods are very undependable and extremely expensive to replace. Just go buy a new one. I just bought my daughter an mP3 for her birthday after purchasing 5 ipods, this one was an iRiver. Ipods are overrated and overpriced and not worth what you pay! We have owned enough to have a pretty accurate opinion of them!

    There are a lot of music players around and this Apple iPod is popular but very over rated. It has some good games and plenty of storage memory.But it's very expensive and not very good value for money

    Bought two ipods for my kids at $399 a pop expecting years of service due to the name brand and corresponding support. I also liked the simplicity of the system and integrations with the software player and conversion. The first one crashed at eight months and was replaced for the shipping charges. The other one ran intermittently but held its' data. It crashed 3 weeks after the warranty expired. The other one (which was replaced at eight months ) crashed after one month, but now out of t ...

    I now have an extinct Apple iPod mini portable MP3 player!! It's like rocket science sometimes trying to get it to work. It says the software needs updating etc., but I can't do it, and it gives me no options of how to fix it. There are a lot of problems regarding software.

    All in all, I think it's rubbish, and I would recommend Creative Zen MP3 players over the iPod any day.

    The battery life on the Apple iPod MP3 player is rubbish! I've only had mine for 3 months, and now when I charge the iPod it turns off saying there is no battery power! When it does work, it only last for 3 hours before it needs charging. I should have got the Sony one. My brother bought that a month ago, and it still doesn't need to be charged!!!

    When I got my Apple iPod portable MP3 player I was thrilled! It is just awesome!

    I knew that it looked good and had lots of memory, well who doesn't? But what struck me was the sound quality of the iPod. It is the best I have ever heard! I promise you.

    There may be myths about the battery failing within months, but that is nonsense; and if it did Apple are more than willing to completely refund you or exchange it for a new one.

    The iPod is so great it almost encourages you to listen to music ...

    I recently purchased a U2 Apple iPod. Since buying it I have had nothing but problems. The iPod keeps freezing; instructions given by the manufacturer are poor; instructions given over the phone have not sorted my problem out, and you are only allowed one phone call within 90 days of purchase, unless you pay a further £39. Very poor standard of customer care which is worth considering prior to purchase. Try SONY maybe! I feel a fool for parting with over £200 for a piece of unreli ...

    For an MP3 player, I am very impressed with the sound quality on the Apple iPod. I did use AAC encoding and a 320kbps bit rate with a 48,000 sampling rate. I could not imagine using anything lower. You do sacrifice space, but I have so far amassed over 500 songs, and still have 15GB of space left at the above bit and sampling rates. I have a Sony MD player/recorder that can out perform the iPod, but that's like comparing Apples to Oranges. An MP3 player is still an MP3 player, and a Mini Di ...

    The Apple iPod Mini is a beautiful item! It is sleek, sexy, and just asking to be my soulmate.

    Better than any man.

    I purchased a 20GB Apple iPod Photo and returned it a day later. Some of the downsides I found to the player were specific to me alone, and shouldn't be counted against the iPod in general. I found that 20GB has far too much storage space, and I can't fill it with songs that I will actually listen to. The iPod is also fairly small, considering its storage capacity, but still too large for me. I don't have enormous hands but they're not small either, and with the iPod and my hand in my pocket ...

    I don't know about the other iPod range but I am very happy with this the latest new Apple iPod 20GB. It has a sharp, vivid tiny colour LCD screen which the blurb says displays more than 65 thousand colours. You can keep up to 5,000 songs or 8,000 photos in your pocket and I can use it with my computer. It has also got various personal organiser features such as a thing to keep appointments and Alarm Clock.
    You can also connnect it to a TV to have colour slideshows with your music. Very psyched ...

    Apple iPod MP3 Player.


    How you can have apple care protection, and then after purchasing a 400 Dollar unit, which you expect to work, they then send you a refurbished one????

    I just got the 20Gb colour Apple iPod today!! It is great!! I downloaded all my Cd's in an hour. Nothing could be more straightforward. I don't mind the price because hey, why buy something for a lower price which isn't in colour? However, I've just had it for a day (more like hours), and I must admit that I foresee some minor problems!

    The battery life for the Apple iPod has never been good, it is now terrible. It often crashes. Everytime it is used it stops playing and starts on one specific playlist at random. Turns on automatically even if switched off and on hold.

    I love my Apple iPod. Short and sweet. I bought this baby the day after New Year's, and was immediately enamoured with it, although I did experience slight problems. This, actually, had nothing to do with my iPod, but if you have an old computer, beware. When I first tried to install it, I had to take quite a bit of time, because I had an older computer. It wasn't the first (or last) time I had trouble putting something new on my aging Windows 2000, 6gb piece of trash, but it was still annoying. ...

    The sound quality overall of the Apple iPod is great. The playlist on the go feature makes it easy to make playlists outside of iTunes. There's plenty of accessories for the iPod except that they tend to drain the battery a lot quicker such as the iTrip.
