Summary: like a Cd player without the aggravation
Review: I am a huge fan of music and used Cd players for a long time. This iPod works great and dosen't need batteries and you don't need CDs to put in it. It is portable and i can fit it my pocket and take it anywhere. It is also light wieght too.If you want something where you can take anywhere with you and don't want to carry 8 billion Cd's with you, then this is for you.

Summary: Best Christmas Present Ever!
Review: This thing rocks - and it works on Microsoft Windows PCs, I have XP Home Edition, and the thing hooked right up (old reviews that mentions it doesn't work with PCs are out-of-date, Apple launched their Windows edition of iPod software and it runs great). Gosh, Christmas is over - but if you want to get a little something for yourself post holidays, or maybe for that special someone's birthday, this is the one to get. Oh, and I got the 10 GB iPod, it's slimmer and it holds up to 250 CDs, well enough for most music fans.

Summary: A great player for windows!
Review: I spent over a year doing research to find a player that was: *Windows compatible
*easy to use
*had good storage capacity
*reasonable price I finally decided on the apple ipod for windows and I am delighted! My biggest concerns were that it would not work well with Windows, but so far it's flawless.
For once, here is an electronic device that doesn't even need directions. Once hooked up (which in and of itself is a nearly foolproof task), it synced automatically with my PC and transfered almost 500 songs in under a minute.
The ipod is easy to navigate, the earphones aren't nearly as bad as I expected...though this isn't a concern because any headphones can be used.
Overall the ipod is everything I was looking for in an MP3 player, and I highly recommend it.

Summary: Worth the money!!!
Review: I just got an iPod for Christmas, and it was well worth the money. It's flawless, uploads music in a flash, is easy to understand and use, and the music quality is unbelieveable. Anyone who is contemplating buying an iPod should do it. There is simply no competition- this is the best MP3 player ever made.

Summary: iPod Works Flawlessly
Review: I purchased the 10 GB iPod and from the moment I plugged it into the computer, it has worked flawlessly. I have about 1,000 songs on my computer. It took only a few minutes (less than five) to upload all of my songs to my iPod. The product works perfectly with iTunes. Many of the complaints about iPod, such as "it does not come with a USB cable" should not be taken to heart. The reason iPod only comes with a Firewire cable is because it is a high-performance digital music player and functions best when used with Firewire. The iPod caters primarily to higher-end computer users. Most high-end computers have a Firewire connection. Anyone who complains about the iPod not including a USB cable should really be complaining about his own computer. If you have a low-end PC without a firewire port, maybe you are better off buying something of lesser quality like a RIO. Nothing against those who own $500 Dells or eMachines on special, but having to buy a $20 cable to convert Firewire to USB should not be such a big deal. All major video game consoles come with only AV output. Is it the fault of Sony or Nintendo if the consumer who purchases their product has an older TV without AV inputs? Those of you who will "never buy an Apple product again" because it doesn't include a firewire cable: would you also never again buy a Sony product simply because your TV is too old? The fact of the matter is Apple's iPod blows all other digital music players out of the water. It works great in the car with either the tape or FM transmitter adaptor. The sound quality is superb, and simply cannot be beaten. If you are a high-end computer user and are looking for the finest in digital music players, iPod is for you.

Summary: A great little gadget
Review: I recieved my iPod as a Christmas present and I absolutely love it. I did have to buy the extra sofware to use with my laptop and it has taken me 3 days to learn to use Musicmatch, but it was all worth it. Right now I have 66 songs on it with 8.2 gigs left to go. It is so easy to find your music once it's on the iPod. I love the shuffle mode and the backlight is a great touch. I am looking forward to getting years of use out of this nifty device! Caution: listen to the other reviewers and buy a case, a must-have to keep your iPod in like-new condition.

Summary: 4 pin firewire vs 6 pin firewire
Review: The iPod comes with a 6pin firewire connector wire and a 4 pin firewire adapter. Apple computers have a 6 pin firewire port that will both download and charge the iPod.
Many windows laptops come with a 4 pin firewire (i394 port). Using the enclosed 4pin adapter you can download but not charge the iPod on windows machines and you can only charge the battery thru the A/C adapter. Before downloading music to the iPod via 4pin firewire you must have a fully charged iPod battery to last thru the function.
If your windows laptop doesn't have firewire you must purchase at xtra cost either a firewire card for your laptop's PMCIA slot or the iPod specific USB adapter wire. You can't use a generic USB wire.
Also BE AWARE that the 3rd generation iPod is NOT compatable with Windows ME as earlier generations were, you must upgrade to XP.

Summary: Don't buy an iPod.
Review: If you're thinking of buying an iPod, i suggest you check out a site called http://www.ipodsdirtysecret.com/
The truth: the iPods' irreplaceable battery only lasts 18 months. It costs almost the same to have it replaced as it would to buy another iPod.
Why isn't "no stars" an option?

Summary: Whats the Point?
Review: I was so close to buying this when luckily i found some information regarding the lifespan of the ipod. 18 months! yeh 18 months! it would take me that long to fill the thing with songs, then they want to charge you £100 for a replacment battery, every five years fair enough, but 18 months! 18 months why? next year theres going to be numerous companies bringing out ipod devices so i would wait, unless you like burning money.
