Not So Rotten Apple

Date of Review:  Apr 11, 2006
The Bottom Line: Get the Ipod if you know what you're getting into, otherwise get another MP3 player.
Review: Well, what can I say about the Ipod? The Ipod is a great tool but it is limited in it's capabilities. The Ipod does have a lot of features, but it only excels at one of them, playing music. It can store notes, photos, videos, but it plays music the...

Top of the line mp3 player is great.

Date of Review:  Jun 10, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you can afford this player, which you probably can't, buy it. But for the common man, i suggest a Rio, they are much more affordable.
Review: This player has the most storage space, and the nicest looks. Apple has stayed 3 steps ahead of the competition, nothing even comes close. The only bad thing about this player is the extremely high price. It has neat controls, with a touch screen...

Loud noises from your pocket

Date of Review:  Oct 18, 2004
The Bottom Line: This is the MP3 player all the others measure up against (and fail). Excellent quality, excellent useability and superb design. It sounds rather good too!
Review: With the latest crop of MP3 players, and particularly the newer 'click-wheel' generation of the iPod, it may seem odd to post a review of a now discontinued model. But 30Gb 3rd generation iPods are still available as refurbished units from some...

'A thing of beauty is a joy for ever' - Keats

Date of Review:  Dec 3, 2003
The Bottom Line: Not the cheapest around, but a class on its own and certainly worth every penny. Accessability and overall design is unbeatable. A joy to use and own!
Review: I've bought this wonderful music machine some weeks ago, after struggling with an MP3 Discman for almost a year. It is not easy to describe the user experience with the iPod in a few words, but I will start with the obvious: the outside.

Cool MP3 player that's now in a crowded and talented market

Date of Review:  Dec 29, 2003
The Bottom Line: I'm not sure if I'd get another iPod. Windows compatibility and battery life is a big issue for me. At this price, it should be the best in class.
Review: I spend a lot of time researching products before I buy them and this was one of the most difficult decisions for me. But I lucked out and received it as a gift! Below is a quick synopsis.

An Apple fan says: iPod is a white elephant

Date of Review:  Aug 18, 2003
The Bottom Line: Buy it only if you're patient, love the design, and plan to treat it very gently.
Review: I splurged and bought the 30 gig iPod for my birthday. I am a lifelong Mac supporter, but I have to say that the iPod is not anywhere ready for prime time.

First of all, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT UNLESS YOU'RE ALREADY RUNNING SYSTEM 10.2...

Excellent MP4 Player

Date of Review:  Dec 27, 2003
The Bottom Line: The Ipod is the best hard-disk based player right now.
Review: I just purchased an Ipod 30GB (3rd generation), mostly for playing music and audio books (from Audible.com). I was using my Ipaq 3835 Windows CE Device for these things, but I was frustrated by its small storage capacity. On the Ipod, I now have...

Best Gadget I have ever purchased

Date of Review:  Feb 13, 2004
Review: Granted, there are many cheaper mp3 players out there, but there are few that can hold your entire music collection all at once. anyone who grew up lugging their record collection around will appreciate this concept. Every piece of music i own fits...

Be careful

Date of Review:  Aug 28, 2003
The Bottom Line: With the history of freezes, I'd be cautions about buying one until this problem is resolved.
Review: I have a 30GB Ipod and from the first day I got it the ipod would freeze occasionally. I did a hard reset and reloaded all of the software and reloaded songs and the occasionally freezing continues. The only way to get out of the freeze mode is to...

Great device, all it has been built up to be!

Date of Review:  Nov 16, 2003
Review: A class act with virtually endless storage, an incredible interface, and terrific possibilities for use. Highly recommend for audiophiles and those looking for a one-of-a-kind product that has no realistic competitor.
