Summary: Best MP3 Player out there
Review: I received my 10 GB iPod in May of this year, and I love the little thing. I have over 1100 songs on my iPod, but there is still plenty of room for growth. What I love about the iPod is the ease of use. I can easily find a song in a matter of seconds. The iPod has set the standard for all MP3 players, and in my opinion is probably the easiest to use, and best looking.

Summary: A product only a snob could love...
Review: 1. WAY overpriced. You can purchase 20GB players with more features (crossfading, optical in/out, FM tuner, etc.) than this. 2. Incompatible with 95% of all computers on the planet. 3. When will Apple abandon that stupid Apple font that they use on everything including the iPod? 4. Why is every review of this product filled with stupid grammatical mistakes? Are all iPod users idiots that can't spell and don't know the difference between "you're" and "your", "its" and "it's", or "buy" and "by"? 5. I don't need to think of myself as "stylish" or "cool" vicariously through a small piece of plastic and metal.

Summary: Super Product, Terrible Support
Review: Other reviewers have heaped well-deserved praise on the iPod itself, so it is worth briefly noting that Apple's customer support does not match the quality of its product design. For the many shoppers who are from the Windows world but are now contemplating getting an iPod after being impressed by the clean easy to use iTunes user interface -- beware! Don't expect overnight shipping of the sort you've come to expect with virtually every Windows peripheral or device and don't expect the same service -- automatic refunds for defective products, cross-shipping of replacements, etc. -- either. Apple's customer support is virtually non-existent. If everything works with your iPod, you may never have to deal directly with Apple and should consider yourself lucky, but even if you are just considering buying it's worth noting: avoid Apple and buy from someone else -- like Amazon -- instead (unless you want to wait weeks and weeks for your iPod to show up).

Summary: Beware PC Users
Review: Just to let you know if you are a PC user make sure you by the dock for the ipod. When I did the research for this product I never found anything that said I had to buy additional hardware in order for the Ipod to work with my computer. I didn't find this out until I recieved the ipod in the mail and found out that it wasn't worth the effort to buy the extra equipment. So if you really want this product just make sure that you buy the dock and the usb cable if you have a pc. It costs an extra 50 bucks so if you think that it is worth it go ahead.

Summary: A good choice
Review: I know, coming into this product is an expensive process. But it is totally worth every penny. For 300 bucks your getting tons of space, and you don't have to worry about running out. You can use it as an external hard drive, and ever since they got itunes for windows, it's totally a breeze for pcs. I would know, I hate apple, but this ipod is something totally different. Don't be discouraged, it's worth it!

Summary: A note on value.
Review: I am an iPod fan, and I would caution the potential buyer of a 10GB unit to carefully consider the value when you realize that this one ships without a docking cradle, remote control and case. You'd spend very nearly the full amount of the difference between this iPod and the 20GB unit just getting those things separately (you do not want to do without the cradle or the case; the wired remote is a toss-up). At that point, you'd have spent the same amount of money for an iPod with only half the capacity you deserve.

Summary: Pretty, but horribly designed
Review: The Ipod is sleek and modern looking. Appears to be excellently designed. But, it's not. The controls are pressure designed and they are awful. The return-to-the-beginning button is placed too closely to the other buttons, so it is too easy to accidentally press the button and return to the beginning (for example, the beginning of a book if you listen to recorded books). All buttons are pressure-sensitive, but the pressure does not always work. For example, you can try to turn the machine off, but pressing on the button sometimes functions normally and at other times you can press the button for minutes, with no response. Do I have a lemon? No. I know others who have the identical machine and experience identical problems. This machine is a dud. It needs major changes in functional design. I recommend against buying the machine.

Summary: Awesome hardware, but software is annoying
Review: I've had several MP3 players and decided to take the plunge and get the iPod. From a hardware standpoint, the iPod itself is fantastic. It is very small, very well built and ergonomically designed, far better than any other player I've owned. One "gotcha" is the fact that the 10GB unit says that it can run on Firewire or USB. This is true but, you will need another adapter from Apple to convert Firewire to USB if you intend to use the USB port for transfers. Fortunately, I found a firewire port on my computer. By the way, firewire is VERY fast for uploads and downloads. It only took about 15 minutes to upload 4GB of music. My complaint is the software. For such a streamlined MP3 player, the software is really "bloatware" The installation CD installs, Musicmatch, Audible Manager, and an iPod Manager. All three of these programs want to put icons in your system tray as well as put icons on your desktop. If you let them, they'll even start up when you boot the system. Almost as bad as Norton Systemworks (which tightly intertwines itself in the registry too) I had software windows and icons everywhere. I will have to figure out which programs I can strip out and still have a functional iPod loader. So, I love the iPod, but dislike the software.
