Summary: Awesome
Review: this player is simply awesome and the best out there, period. im a windows user and had absolutely no problems getting it to work on my computer. when i set the ipod up, i didnt even bother using music match which came with the player but instead i ripped cds with CDex and transfered music with Ephpod. the size of this player is amazing. its so small and fits very comfortably into my pocket. cant beat the size (10 gigs is pleanty of space). i currently have nearly 1000 songs (thats most of my music collection) loaded onto the player and still have over 5 gigs left. one thing to be aware of is that this actually doesnt come with 10 gigs, with the apple firmware on the pod, you only get 9.2 gigs. overall, very impressive and highly recommended

Summary: Amazing...But who needs thousands of songs?
Review: This product is amazing I have to admit. But honestly, who needs thousands of mp3's in their pocket? If you drop it, thats a few hundred down the drain. Go for a mp3 player that doesn't have a hard drive like a rio, because it can still be in 100 shape if you drop it. 60 songs is fine, but if it breaks (which it will after 2 years) than that's to bad if you don't have a lot of extra cash. Overall, the thing is amazing, but it's almost too good to be true and it will have problems.I definetly wouldn't pay $1 to download one song from MaC!

Summary: When will I be able to afford this?
Review: Seriously the only problems with iPod are its price and internal battery. I have been thinking of buying it for more than a year, but can't get myself to spend so much on a mp3 player which will die in 2 yrs time. If Apple had used a user replacable battery or the price was $100 less I would have bought it without a thought. I need only 3GB or atmost 5GB, but cheapest one is 10GB. I am starting an ipod fund to save money for one and will use my 10 buck CD player meanwhile!

Summary: Hard to Fault ..Except Extreme Volume Limits on Euro Model
Review: Ditto what everyone says below --- hard to imagine better bang for the buck than this sensationally slick little wonder of technology. I do however, have one knock against it which I view as quite significant. It simply does not produce enough volume for my liking: and I'm not a headbanger by any means. I would strongly advise anyone considering this to try it out first. I'm referring here to the models with 2.0 software -- for some reason the earlier versions do allow the user to tinker with the upper registers. But not the newer ones, which is big disappointment. Other than that -- great machine. ADDENDUM: The volume problem described above relates to all Gen 3 iPods sold in Europe (where I purchased mine) -- the US models are fine. New French "Big Brother" regulations limit the db levels produced by personal stereos and Apple decided -- for some reason -- to apply these limits to all European models. There is a thunderstorm of indignation about this issue on the iPod related chat boards. Apple has been curiously silent on the issue. So Europeans, beware!

Summary: Absolutely Amazing
Review: I had never been very big on Mac products, but after deciding it was time to move up from my 32MB MP3 player, I settled on the iPod. This device is absolutely amazing. 10GB is plenty of room for me. I had a little trouble settting it up to run on my Windows Me operating system. MusicMatch always said it was not connected even though Windows said it was there. Finally after trying it on two different comptuers I took it back and exchanged it for another one only to have the same problem. I then tried it on one of my friends computers which had WinXP. After hooking it up there I was able to format the drive. Brought it back to my house, no luck. Then I found some software called ephPod 2 on the internet and it works just fine. All the iPod software still says its not connected to my system but hey, it works. I deffinately advise anybody thinking of purchasing an iPod to go ahead and do it. May seem a little expenseive, but it's well worth it.

Summary: The iPod completes my "Digital Lifestyle"
Review: I absolutely love this iPod! I'm a Mac user so I can't say how it runs in the Windows world but it runs beautifully with my iMac G3 and OS X. I love the MP3 storage but I am really enthusiastic about the calander and notes features. The FireWire interface is wonderful. I uploaded about 300 songs onto my iPod within 2-3 minutes! I can backup massive files and move between my iMac and my brother's G4 with total ease. The Apple engineers did wonders with such a tiny space. My most favorite feature of the new iPod model would be the backlight. The iPod completes my "Digital Lifestyle".

Summary: outstanding
Review: This device is abosolutely stunning; in attributes, appearence and ease of use. Despite having some of the most advanced portable technology around, its amazingly simple to use!! Everything about the design is flawless, as if the first edition ipod wasnt in another league the second edition is even better. Holding rediculously large ammounts of music and STILL accessing unbelievably easily makes this thing a wonder. This product has the ability to impress almost anyone and certainly has the ability to make heads turn. I would not be suprised if this became one of the design icons of this era... what on earth with apple come up with next?

Summary: "to good to be true" I said. MAN WAS I WRONG!
Review: Ok lets start with the teanie,weanie,bad news:
1. The first problem is that it was truely made for Macs. All of the included acessories are Mac only compatible unless you have a Fire Wire card already installed on your Comp.
2. The second is that you need to buy a USB 2.0 wire for people who have a PC. Unfortunately if your comp is older than 2 years you probabally need to buy a USb 2.0 PCI card. Without it, your sunk. Your comp wont recognize the Ipod because of the older 1.1 USB Driver therefore no music can be transfered. But no worries its about [$$$] for the USB 2.0 Cord and [$$$] for PCI card, but trust me they will garantee a faster and swifter download of music.
3. Oh ya it would help to have or burn a copy of Windows Xp because of its great compatibility with installing a recognizing new devices,software,ect.. Now for good stuff..
WOW!! times 5. This Mp3 is amazing, so much to do with it besides music. You got games, scheduler, clock, alarm, great organization for music playlists and songs. Sound quality is great and dwonloading is swift and easy. Download all your CD's in 2 minutes a CD or faster.( depends on how much songs are on it.)So small and sleek looking its great for traveling and fitting anywhere. If you buy the carrying case for sport activites you can jog, hike,bike, ect.. without it falling out.
IF you got the cash$$$ i sugest you buy this one it goes quick so get yours now. Nothing beats it! Best on the market fro your money. So why you still reading? BUY IT!!

Summary: Absolutely Loved It
Review: I recently got my iPod as a 12th Birthday Present. I had wanted an MP3 Player for a long time, but we didn't have the money. So when I opened the package, I couldn't have been more suprised! I have only had this MP3 player for about 1 month, and I already have over 150 songs stored on it. No problem using music match jukebox... it's very easy once you get the hang of it.
The iPod is so sleek and simple. It is so beautiful, and I take it everywhere.
I absolutley love the scroll wheel, it makes everything so easy. It's very easy to operate, and It weighs so little. (less than 2 CDs in jewel cases!!)
I hope that for the prospective buyer, that you are willing to spend a few extra dollars and get this iPod. I garuntee you will not be dissapointed.
