| Scorpia's Full Review: Apple iPod 3rd Generation White (20 GB) MP3 Player |
I purchased this sexy lil number after hanging out with a bunch of people who all suspiciously owned one. They were all raving about them, and I thought, secretly, 'They've all gone mad'. They were talking in iSpeak, iTunes this, 99cent downloads, iPlaylists, "You need to 'Pod' that. I was iNtruged. What was all the fuss about? Then someone let me take a test drive. Love at first Listen.
I was amazed by the sound quality. This little number packed punch. The ease of using it and the amount of songs one could walk around with in the palm of one's hand. I was in control. I couldn't fathom the possibilities of having my entire CD collection in this small package. I love the jog wheel, which you can personalize to make a clicking noise or remain boringly silent. The 4 wee circles are very sensitive so press gently. The hold button is very useful when you've made yourself a decent playlist that you can listen to without interruption by a misplaced thumb or finger.
The ear buds are your standard in the ear deal and this one came with 2 sets of ear bud cozies. I haven't used them yet. It also comes with a remote control, dock and various cords to plug into your pc or mac. The user booklet, very user friendly and packaging, well, I have a thing for nice packaging. Very well done.
I was prewarned about the battery life, so I purchased the 2yr warranty justincase.
Overall I'm extremely happy with my purchase and I definitely recommend it.
