my new CD cabinetby - January 3, 2005

Pros: certainly clears the clutter of cd's from the living area. I love the easy one handed operation, and you can pass it to or lend it to someone who has never seen one and they can work out how to find the music in minutes. Fantastic that i can put my diary

Cons: everyone who borrows it tries to decline to return it. None, I have had this for 20 months and its still bright and shiney and battery life is the same, I just bought the photo version as ever Apple are almost out of stock

its perfect, but not so perfectby - December 25, 2004

Pros: design.

Cons: the gets scratches very easilly... and to buy a protective casing is not cheap... i hope Apple can offer some alternative...

Its addictiveby - November 11, 2004

Pros: I must say I love my 15 Gb 3rd generation ipod. Everything from the size, sound quality, design. And I ve never been a fan of cd players or portable radios, as I ve always viewed them as somewhat cumbersome. Now I cannot go anywhere without my ipod. Defin

Cons: Manual included is alas, not really helpful, once you get past this and figure it out yourself or you can refer to www.ipodlounge.com and look at some of the tutorials, they tell you how to resolve many issues you may have. Also, earphones tend to fall ou

Won't work with most laptop firewire cardsby - November 6, 2004

Pros: Not sure, could never get it working on my PC Laptop. Typically, I really enjoy Apple products.

Cons: Doesn't work with most firewire cards in PC laptops. I spoke with Apple and tried a bunch of online iPod support sites and had no luck getting this working. Everytime I fixed a problem, another new one would occur. I have no doubt that the iPod is a great

Great sound, looks great!by - October 30, 2004

Pros: It has a very good sound quality. The ease of use is by far the best out there. I also feel that the 3rd gen Ipods, this one, is a lot beter then the 4th gen. The batery has not failed me yet also.This is definatly the best MP3 player you can get.

Cons: After the first year of ownership, tech support costs $49 a call! Also, it is hard to get a good sound in the car, yet a belkin car adapter works fine. Also the mini jack clicks somtimes. Fear Factor of dropping it!!!

GREAT BUY IT!by - October 17, 2004

Pros: storage space, look, backlight, ease of contol, available accessories, battery lenght.mine is USED i fully carged it(overnight) and i got 7 hours of contiuous playback at medium volume 7 hours is plenty long enough.

Short battery life overshadows good points.by - October 10, 2004

Pros: Good sound quality with compact design. Controls are logical.

Cons: No drag and drop without cumbersome ITUNES. Apple must have went out of their way to develop the worst power design possible. It spends more time in recharge than playing music.

Sweet Portable music player!by - October 5, 2004

Pros: 15 GB worth of space!! Can be used as a portable hard disk or backup. Stores almost everything a PDA does! Calendars, contacts, and to-do's!

Cons: The battery! It may start out at 8 hours...unfortunately the battery seems to deplete a bit faster with each charge.

Awesome,but battery sucksby - September 21, 2004

Pros: The best mp3 on the market by far. It has great features. Looks nice and organizes your music really good. The touch wheel is really cool. LCD light is nice.

Cons: BATTERY SUCKS. It spends more time on the charger than me listening to it. You also have to erase your music and send it to apple for a new battery. Apple should have included a case because of its sleek design, it may slip out of your hands. Just after b

although the 3rd gen ipod doesn't rank well, it's a great piece of equipmentby - September 12, 2004

Pros: huge capacity, great interface, looks great, small.

All hype no substanceby - September 2, 2004

Best MP3 Player Outby - September 1, 2004

Pros: This is an amazing mp3 player. i recently bought it (right before the new one came out :( Still it is an amzing item, it can hold an amazing amount of music, had incredibly easy accesability, a very sleek design, and it is soo small that you can take it

Cons: Yuo need to seperatly buy a pc USB adapter, and shoudl most likely get a carrying case. the ipod gets scratched, very easily, and brings tears to your eyes when you see it happen. Be very protective of it and try not to drop it. the spin wheel also sl

Too much limitations compared to other playersby - September 1, 2004

Pros: Asthetic appeal, quality material, games, large hard drive, fast navigation, few or no moving parts, backlight buttons and screen, portable size, supports various audio file types.

I'm not an apple person, and I love itby - September 1, 2004

Pros: Interfaces very easily with my PC. Very easy to navigate. Small, light, compact, and looks great (especially the blue-white glow of the backlight). I'm not an apple person at all, and I'm really satisfied with this product. It's the first mp3 player I

Cons: People complain about the battery life, but it hasn't been a hassel at all for me (yet). Scratches very easily, but again, that's not a big deal to me. The 15 GB model is ~$50 more expensive than the Dell DJ, but I was able to buy mine at Target, wherea

Way overhyped.by - September 1, 2004

Pros: Very attractive & sleek looking. Good sound. Easy to use. Nice feel on the buttons. Physically, almost perfect. Easy to make playlists. Intergrated in new cars (which I can't afford anyway).

Cons: Hard to find titles without search feature. Short battery life with non-replacable battery. Product is known to freeze up. Not very solid (have 2 friends who returned theirs after a short drop). Scroll wheel not very acurate (had to go back & forth to

Awesome, but battery could be MUCH betterby - September 1, 2004

Pros: Looks nice and has good features. i like the touch senitive stuff. 15gb hold tons of songs. Scroll wheel is cool. Transfers songs fast. Overall I think it is the best on the market.

Cons: The battery is horrible. My ipod spends more time on the charger then me listening to it. Apple should give you a case for the ipod beacuse i'm always scared of dropping it. I hate the fact that, you have to send your ipod to apple for them to put a new

looks better than 4Gby - September 1, 2004

Pros: the red on blue lighting looks awesome. the all touch sensitive concept makes u like using the ipod each time u want to listen to music. it's small, light, looks good, and very functional. now even cheaper because of the 4G!

Cons: battery life CAN be longer as many say. but just get a $40 best buy warranty and trade it in for a new one when urs is juiced out from 8hr to 5hr battery life.

Free iPod. This is realby - July 27, 2004

Too many iPods are defected.by - July 5, 2004

Pros: It's a very thin player and has a nice interface. That's about it.

Cons: Apparently, the iPod I got was had every factory defect known to iPods. After a week of use, the Apple logo kept flashing when I would try to turn it on, updating wouldnt help. Battery meter was severely inaccurate. Battery life (per use) was horrible. Tr

Just buy it...by - July 3, 2004

This is the Best digital music player I have ever come across!by - June 28, 2004

Pros: Lets face it, the total design of the ipod is very attractive and beautiful, along with that it is very hard to fill up the entire 15 GB. I think my money was well spent on this product. I don't really have problems with battery life because i have the bo

Cons: I am so afriad of damaging the exterior that I bought a case that totaly encloses it and it hides all of its beauty. The exterior scratces very easily.

Nice product but does not support international character sets!by - June 28, 2004

Pros: Capacity

Cons: Does not display titles including many international characters! Expensive accessories.

Didn't want to like it, but it's AMAZING.by - June 28, 2004

Pros: I, like most people who build computers, have a big chip on their shoulder about Apple products. I didn't like that I couldn't change the battery and all that stuff, and had heard that the battery life was paltry. I went to the store intent that I was g

Cons: Once the battery dies that will suck, but in two years perhaps something better will have come out that I will want to replace this. The software installation isn't totally intuitive, but if you are remotely computer literate it's no problem. I also wis

Battery issues do not make up for the positive featuresby - June 27, 2004

Pros: Easy to use. Great sound.

Cons: Short and inconsistent battery life. Battery must be replaced by factory. Battery replacement is expensive.

Worth the $$$$by - June 26, 2004

Pros: The first thing is the size, which is perfect for slipping into your pocket. Smaller than the iRiver and better shaped than the Rio Karma, it's plane small. Then you start using it, and you see how easy it is to use. When you have thousands of songs, it i

Cons: Lack of a radio or recorder is annoying, but when you have 3700+ sounds you picked out, whats the point of a radio? Cost: its the most expensive out there, but you get what you pay for, no question.

Coolest Gadget Ever!!!by - June 24, 2004

Pros: Sleek, killer looks. Cool and intuitive controls. Small and lightweight. This is my first mp3 player, and the sound is phenomenal, way better than I expected. The included earphones are sound great. 15 gigs is plenty for me, I've got 1500 songs loaded and

its got great soundby - June 22, 2004

Pros: the ipod has really great sound quality and is easy to use. It has a very cool sleek look. The way apple organized the information in the ipod, makes it so much more easy to access your songs

Cons: The battery life is not as good as other competting mp3 players but its not terrible. The ipod is also fragile if you are ruff with your appliances this might not be the right choice for you. Also it has a rechargable battery that does break advantually a

What a piece of JUNK!by - June 21, 2004

Pros: size of drive

Cons: I am on my third one b/c of battery problems and LCD problems. These things are worthless

Great player, dont believe 'ipod's dirty little secret'by - June 19, 2004

Pros: Everything, have first gen ipod and battery still works fine, 3 years on. 8 hours battery is more than enough, even on long trips, but you might want to consider charging before a trip.

Cons: Nothing, maybe the price, fear factor and the price of acceseries. But of these are causes for concern. Every silver lining comes with a cloud.

Essentialby - June 17, 2004

Pros: I was debating so long as to whether to get an iPod or a Dell DJ. I'd heard about the battery issues, etc. and the 15 GB DJ is only $200 as opposed to the $400 i paid for the 15 iPod with accessories and all. But for those of u who are debatin like I was

Cons: -Price (obviously) -Battery Only 8 hours of playback as opposed to Dell's 20 (I only got 6 1/2 from iPod) -Need to buy remote, case, usb cord separately (for windows users) if u buy the 15 gb iPod If price isn't a major concern, I don't see any reason wh

just got it - awesomeby - June 17, 2004

Pros: looks cool, incrediblly user-friendly (boyfriend has a TDK Mojo flash player and it took him 3 months to figure it out), iTunes is a great product as well - runs just fine w/ Windows XP. The people who claim you don't get it till you use it are right.

Cons: biggest con: USB cord is an extra $30 (glad they figured that one out w/ the mini), not compatible with Windows 98, supposedly the battery, but I got a Best Buy warranty that will replace it w/in 2 years for $40

The Best I've Seen!by - June 16, 2004

Pros: Elegant, simple, functional, intuitive. It's just a great design all around. Used in conjunction with iTunes this this is amazing.

The best of its kindby - June 15, 2004

Pros: Heaps of room Great software (iTunes) Beautiful and elegant design The SCROLL WHEEL great sound Fast transfer speed

Battery is awful; doesn't work well w/ PCby - June 12, 2004

Pros: Looks nice.

any hard drive has problemsby - June 11, 2004

Pros: for a pc none. But all my friends have macs so they work for them.

It's not worth your money!by - June 11, 2004

Pros: Good-looking, dont have to carry ur cd's with you and easy to carry.

Cons: It sucks! Ok, the first week I had it, it froze and could not be recognized by my computer(imac). Then when I tried to connect it to another mac, it screwed up the computer! I talked to the tech support, asked me to reset it but terrible instructions! Not

that was an expensive clock!!!by - June 10, 2004

Pros: the clock and games work, though some of the games are annoying with that stupid wheel.

Cons: it's the epitome of ghettoness! I think the only reason people would buy the i-pod is they're incredibly gungho about all the apple products and don't use a pc. I tried to download some songs on my i-pod and it crashed. Then I noticed the user manual s

A Music lover? Best investment you could ever makeby - June 9, 2004

Pros: No need for CDs anymore. In addition, get the FM transmitter and you can enjoy iPod in your car. Gotta love it !

Cons: Battery life. Without FM transmitter lasts about 3 hours, with transmitter lasts about 1 1/2 hours. Further development at Apple needs to extend the battery life!

IPOD 15GB MP3 PLAYERby - June 8, 2004

Great all alround mp3 player, but battery is extremely weakby - June 4, 2004

Pros: Lots of nice features like calendar, games, on the go playlist etc. Most other players do not have these, though some have other features like FM radio or recording that the ipod does not have. The screen is clear and navigation is very simple.

Cons: Im surprised they havent lowered the cost of this thing yet, its been out for over two years. iTunes takes some getting used to. On windows its VERY slow to recognize the ipod. It only comes with firewire. You need to buy a separate adapter for USB.

Greatest player out thereby - June 3, 2004

Pros: -Small, Slim, Slick -Scroll Wheel -Touch sensitive Buttons -Stylish -Backlit Buttons and Screen -No moving parts -Great Sound -Games, Calendar, Clock...

Cons: -Not too good battery life -Expensive

Just A Pretty Boyby - June 2, 2004

Pros: The iPod is hypnotically beautiful. I find the iPod to be the perfect example of how good visual marketing can really sell a mediocre product. I, like many people, got caught up in the hype and bought an iPod before doing any decent product comparisons. T

Cons: If you only need 6 hours of battery life at a time, then go ahead. The fact is though, behind that pretty white and silver case is an Mp3 player without the goods. The battery life is the main issue, however I would even say durability is a factor here. O

Its a good deal if you're a studentby - June 1, 2004

Pros: My universtiy is registered with apple to provide a discount for hardware purchased for educational use. I was able to purchase a 15gb iPod and iTrip2 for $320 after tax. Sound is clear, lighting is cool.

Cons: A few new mp3 players are close to being released, including the new iriver HD player and possibly the 4th generation ipod. I've mostly been waiting for the iPod to come down in price since its debut over two years ago, but no dice. This device should b

great fun itemby - May 31, 2004

Pros: small, light, cool looking, great user interface, enough songs to last even on the smaller 15GB. i got one of the 15's out of a friend when his wife got a new VW Bug in that deal that was going on. I paid slightly less than retail, but the iPod is nifty,

Cons: battery life could be longer, although i've had it last driving up to the mountains, snowboarding all day, and driving back (probably 10+ hours) which was great. iTunes isn't that great, but better than a different program i was using. i've had it freeze

Windows user be aware before buying an IPODby - May 29, 2004

Pros: The physical product looks great.

Cons: I just purchased a 15G IPOD, and this is what I got in the first2 days after purchase: *If you are trying to synch your apple via firewire you have to make sure that your firewire card is apple's certified, but they don't warranty that it will work 100%.

Great Product, Easy to Use with PCby - May 26, 2004

Pros: To be truthful I am tired of reading reviews of people who just like to hear themselves talk. I use itunes and ipod with a pc and it works perfectly. How much do people get paid to make up stories or they are so inept that they can't work it properly.

Cons: I have not run into the battery problem yet, but that is not to say I won't. Got the apple protection so the replacement will not cost me anything. Con's about these review are you never know who you can trust.

Initally very attractiveby - May 24, 2004

Pros: At first, the iPod seems to have everything anyone could ever want in an MP3 player. It has a large hard drive, GAMES, and touch pads in order to navigate. Its packaging is attractive as well as its over all appearance.

Cons: I used to have a Nomad Zen Jukebox (or something like that) and I missed the playlist features that it had which the iPod does not have. The iPod does not make it convinient for you to creat playlists unless you have it connected to the computer...it's n

If you've got the cash, go with the Apple iPodby - May 24, 2004

Pros: physical size, hard disk size, light-weight, nice interface, large, easy to read screen, excellent buttons and layout. I found iTunes to be surprizingly easy to use; then again, I have had some experience with Macs before even though I am a dedicated PC u

Cons: The short battery life leaves a bitter taste on my mouth, and on my ears when I have to stop listening to my tunes. Another drawback is the potential long-term use of the iPod's battery, which may die permanently after several months of fairly regular use

Well, this is the one!by - May 24, 2004

Pros: fantastic design works with many formats including VBR AIFF and WAV uses AAC and firmware upgradeable Huge storage array of accesories After a few months or reviewing and shopping I chose the ipod. Basically it is the best one. Some others have extra fea

THIS MP3 PLAYER IS PURE BRILLIANCEby - May 24, 2004

Cons: Battery life, price(However, I found it to be worth every penny)

Excellent and Smallby - May 19, 2004

Pros: Great sound, alot of great features, Small and light.

Cons: The ITunes software that comes with it is amazingly bad, I am a tech and I never saw a worse software. Freezes ALL the time, and I got latest version and that didnt help. Also Battery life is no where close to 8 hours more like 5.

Awful Product Awful Supportby - May 18, 2004

Pros:

Cons: My third ipod in less than a year just broke. I have never had so much problems with a consumer electronic item. First it was a battery that lasted less than an hour. It would show ¾ charged and then turn off. The ipod they sent me had a screen too d

Awesome gadget. Some questions though.by - May 11, 2004

Pros: Excellent design. Easy to use with the iTunes software. Holds tons of songs when music is changed to ACC format.

Cons: Afraid of getting it scratched. So I kept the plastic covers on until I can find a good case for it. One other thing is that my player seems to take more than 4 hours to charge even though there is still around 70% charge left. Any ideas?

Pretty good, but freezes alotby - May 9, 2004

Pros: Its sleek, easy to use, and has simple controls. I especially like the wheel and buttons.

The best, and best looking!by - May 9, 2004

Pros: It is the best quality sound I have ever heard from such a small device. It gives you so much more then the Ipod mini. It is GREAT!

Awesome, don't listen to lying naysayersby - May 2, 2004

Pros: The stories the negative reviewers have come up with! Absolutely insane. I've got 2 iPods 2G and 3G and I love em. High quality, simple but effective design--complete music collection in one device. The batteries DO NOT DIE in 6 MONTHS. They last as

Cons: Battery life is a tad short, but the pros WAY outweigh the cons.

In a world of hype, this really excels.by - April 28, 2004

Pros: Great software, intuitive operation, perfect size, more than enough storage. iTunes software is simply the best I have seen for this type of application. Love the iTunes store, too.

Cons: Could the battery be a bit bigger? Maybe, but that would make the iPod bigger, and it's perfect as-is. Eight hours of play is usually enough.

what ipod miniby - April 24, 2004

Pros: great music quality, ease of use, great attention grabber, don't have to wait for months to get one like the ipod mini

Cons: expensive, especially for a college student, scratches quite easily, battery life cycle isn't spectacular at all.

best mp3 player out thereby - April 24, 2004

Pros: It's small, durable, is a friggin' external harddrive, carries other files that music, can play it on your stereo (with an add on), so many others

Cons: the battery seems a little un-stable, 15 GB model doesn't come with a stand, there should be more accessories for this player, simply because it is a wee tad over priced

Lots a features, but not windows friendlyby - April 18, 2004

Pros: Nice screen, lots of features, chic casing, relatively intuitive interface, no moving parts. Its pretty slim and fits nicely in your palm. I enjoyed the headphones that came with it.

Cons: Very expensive when you compare to what else is out there. Paid a little over 300 for it only to see the battery die in 6 months (even when it was working, a charge hardly lasted 5 hours). iTunes is a very aggrivating, very invasive program, especially

dont have it gonna get itby - April 17, 2004

Pros: All my kids at my school have it. It looks sleek and nice. It is light, and holds a lot of songs. And I have heard good reveiws about it on this site

Cons: No Fm tuner, voice recording, and No dock with the 15 mb. (Im not sure but do u have to buy the usb cord or does it come with it?)

don't dropby - April 11, 2004

Pros: The interface is awesome and pretty easy to figure out. The battery is rechargeable so you don't have to worry about the environmental impact that you get from disposable batteries.

Cons: Environmentally friendly — yes. But it's disappointing that you have to wait around for a full charge before unplugging it as well waiting for it to be completely drained before recharging it.

The Best I've Ever Usedby - April 8, 2004

Pros: Small, looks great. The back light buttons are a great touch. The included headphones sound wonderful, and the touch wheel and buttons are a breeze to use. The iTunes Music Store integration is its best feature, by far. For once, an MP3 player I didn'

Cons: It's pricey, and you'll want to be careful with it, as it scratches easily. You might also want to buy the extended warranty, just in case the battery fix doesn't work as well as it should. Finally, the wheel and buttons are great, but can get touchy so

Best MP3 player (even with 'cons')by - April 1, 2004
