Good Points
Great sleek looks. Very easy functional display. Synchronising with itunes is so easy.
Bad Points
The usual easy scratching. Battery life not quite as good as apple say. itunes downloads incompatible with other mp3 formats
General Comments
I upgraded from an iRiver 20 GB, which although a very good mp3 player was getting dated. The first huge advantage of the ipod was the simplicity of synchronising & downloading using itunes. A bit too easy so watch the bank account! The ease of use & speed compared with the iriver is phenomenal. My gripe however is itunes is a little limited on selection of music & makes transfer to other mp3 formats (deliberately) difficult if not impossible.
It looks amazing & when combined with the Kensington idck & remote looks stunning on top of my sound system.
Altogether excellent value for £190
Go out & get one
