Summary: best mp3 ever made
Review: i finally got the ipod for my birthday, wich i have been waiting for 3 months. it's so coll and small with alot of extras. but if you have a pc it's kind'ov hard to get your computer to recognize it or itnes. but i figured out that if you update your ipod ot version 2.0.1 and update your itunes( if you have it) to version 4.1.1159873048829484........ then it works likea dream. i have put as many songs as i could think ove and i still have 8.7 gb still left on the hard drive. the games are fun too, ecpescially in the bus. off wit it's price everything else makes up for it. if your thinking of getting an mp3 player this one is the best choice.

Summary: Awesome- breath taking
Review: I received my iPod yesterday and i love it. When i received it and opened the packaging you can tell how much Apple pays attention to detail. The box it comes in is odd at first because i never seen anything like it. When i saw it i was amazed how small it was, i had been told it was small but WOW. It fooled my hand for a second with its weight. Everything went smoothly with installation with a minor glitch, which was my fault. It loaded my 2gb playlist in about a minute. Im using 4pin firewire because i have a Win. laptop, i charge with the adapter and contrary to what i've heard it doesnt fry the battery. The bad thing about 4pin is that when you download it takes a lot of battery and it could go dead.Pros:
-Easy to use and setup (menu is pure genius)
-Battery life
-SYLE Cons:
-scratches easily (i taped some of the plastic to it until i get a case.)
-pricey, but you get what you pay for

Summary: all good except for the headphones
Review: I grew up using Apple computers, so was not surprised to see the elegance and simple utility of this device firsthand when I received it in the mail. The interface is clean and quick and it does not freeze up. The integration with Windows is impressive, and either the musicmatch software it comes with, or Apple's own iTunes software are impressive digital jukeboxes from which to manage your collection. Synchronizing via the fire wire port is impressive. There are two negative comments I have: (1) the headphones it comes with are uncomfortable in the ear, and the black fabric that goes over the speak must be put on by you, which is awkward (since it is so delicate). (2) The fire wire connector is of the 6 pin variety, which requires that you have an adapter for the typical Windows four pin fire wire connection. This seems odd to me, given that Windows computers are more abundant than Apple computers, and Apple can expect the greater number of these devices to be sold to people with Windows PCs. Better to let Apple users use an adapter. But I suppose this second point is a minor quibble in the grand scheme of things, especially considering how brilliant the little device is. I only wish I sprang for the 40gb model.

Summary: iPod Review After 1 Month
Review: Overall I love my iPod, I'm no longer stuck listening to the same songs on the radio over and over.
Pros:
1. It's small...it always looked bigger in pictures and it was a surprise when I took it out of the box.
2. It's simple...very easy to control and navigate through the menus.
3. Easy, fast music transfer...I sync it with my Powerbook since I bought it before iTunes was released for my XP desktop. If iTunes for Windows works as well with the iPod as it does on a Mac I might start using it instead.
Cons:
1. The surface scratches if you even look at it funny. Seriously, buy some kind of protector if you don't want your iPod scratched up real quick. Make sure to get one made for the 3rd generation iPod.
2. For me 10 GB is not really big enough. I really had no idea how many music files a actually had until I organized them to put on the iPod. If your iPod is bigger than your iTunes music collection you can automatically sync all your playlists between them making everything that much more simple.
3. The headphones sound great but they aren't very comfortable or practical.
So, overall I love my iPod and the scratching and headphones are my only real complaints. I would definitely recommend it over any other large capacity player out right now.

Summary: Love my iPod
Review: Have never owned an apple product as I am a PC user, but I'm very familar w/ both platforms. It took me 3 days to get my iPod finally working for windows due to the iPod not liking the firewire card I had bought. I had a Belkin FireWire card w/ 3 USB 2.0/2 FireWire ports and it just would not work at all. It was really frustrating. I did some research and found that the iPod works just fine w/ the Adaptec FireConnect 4300. Bought that and it has worked perfectly ever since. I don't use MusicMatch w/ it, I use a program called ephPod (which i dled from www.ephpod.com) but iTunes just came out for Windows so you can use that too. Earbuds aren't extremely comfortable after a long time of listening, but it could be worse. If you want an mp3 player w/ durability this is probably not the best choice, but overall I would totally recommend this product! The transfer rate is awesome.

Summary: If only Apple could make every electronic product...Great!
Review: I used to own the Sonic Blue/Diamond Rio 500 (remember those?) which at one time was the top mp3 player, but the software was extremely buggy and the player finally died after less than a year. I could only fit about 65 minutes worth of 128k mp3 audio on it (when it worked properly), and the headphones sucked. It seems as if Apple takes a failing product like the Rio and put their own spin on the stuff for the iPod, meaning everything on it works and does so much better than any player I've ever used. I'm convinced that all of my electronic products, from my cell phone, to my car alarm button, should have been designed by Apple. I am so happy with this product, and am even happier when they update the firmware every few months with even more improvements to a product that has ZERO problems. Aside from the product design, it has really changed the way I listen to music. The Auto-Sync feature is very cool, no more spending an hour or more transferring my songs to my player. My tastes changed rapidly when I first started burning CDs, but with my 2nd Gen 10 GB model, there are songs that I sometimes forget I have in the iPod, and then gleefully remember, "yeah that's right, I have THAT song too." My friends are so amazed at the capacity of songs in my player, and I've used it to DJ hotel parties too. The battery lasts a long time too! The only pet peeves I have is that playing it through FM radio in the car really SUCKS if you have a CD/FM car stereo (in lieu of using a tape player adaptor)...NONE of the available adaptors work very well; the other pet peeve is that I wish the screen was a touchscreen/stylus kind of deal (like the Palm Pilot). However, if you get the iPod (and if you really love music, I recommend you do) get the actual Apple iPod case with it because I have dropped this thing a total of 4 times in the last 7 months--counting once without the case, and the case has given the iPod many many lives because of my clumsiness. This is the first product in a long time that has truly made my life better. Run, don't walk, to get this player!

Summary: I love, love, this thing!
Review: I've never been so in love with a thing before, well, maybe a certain Hot Wheels car when I was a kid, but I can't stop raving to all my friends and coworkers about my iPod. It's the best MP3 player on the market. Hands down. Now that Apple released iTunes for Windows, there's no reason to not pony up to the bar and get one. Musicmatch is a joke in comparison: cluttered, non-intuitive, junky. Apple thinks about the user's needs: the interface, appealing design, simple logic. PC manufacturers must hire their designers from the Skoda or the Yugo factory. Apple makes good stuff that looks good. That being said, Apple's iTunes for Windows only supports 2000 and XP. My preferred iPod computer is a Mac, but the PC side just got much better. It was really smart for Apple to open it up. It might show PC users what junk they've been putting up with from Bill Gates and Co. Pros: The interface is intuitive, not an afterthought. No other MP3 player comes close. It's tiny, light, it looks cool. The dial is really smart. Backlighting is a must at night. MP3s sound great. I rip mine at 192. 10 gigs is a lot of music. Took it on a roadtrip to Florida. Sweet! File transfer is a snap with firewire or USB 2.0. Again, it's intuitive. Drag and drop. I use it as a portable hard drive too, for multi-MB files. Battery life is pretty good. In the car, I leave it charging from the cigarette lighter via the firewire port. Cons: Numero uno: price. Some folks can't jump the hurdle. You'll see them at Wal-Mart buying the cheese doodles and man-made fibers. Back off the fatty foods and leisure suits, my friends. Soon you'll have enough cash to get an iPod. Listen, if you're gonna buy your loved one an MP3 player, get them the best. Another $100 or a lifetime of regret. The choice is yours. Especially if you're buying for a woman. They'll never forgive you if you get them an ugly Archos or Nomad. Two words for you, cubic zirconia. You know what I mean? Cheapness goes deep, and women can smell it like cheap perfume. Don't make that mistake. Accessories: Get a protective case, either leather or one of those gel things. I drop mine all the time, and it keeps on ticking. Once in a while it will burp, then I have to "reboot" it, but it's rare enough. I use a cassette adapter in the car, better than wireless transmitters, but an aux input deck would be even better. Get a cigarette lighter adapter to charge it while you're driving. A secret: set the iPod volume to about 85%, then use your car's volume to adjust per song. I read that now you can dump compact flash cards into your iPod, so that's another good-sounding accessory. I think Belkin is making it.
