The best first generation product I've ever seen

by snowyredwood , Jun 25 '02
Pros: Sleek, Great software, Easy to use, Forget CD changers
Cons: Only 5 Gb I want 50 !
What can I say? The integration between software and hardware is unbelievable. So easy, my parents can even use it. I literally never use CDs anymore. I use it to learn new languages (only I00 Mb per Language (3 CDs)), as a portable jukebox at parties,...

Apple iPod - For Mac Only :-(

by dkozin dkozin is a Lead on Epinions in Electronics, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Jan 18 '02
Pros: Capacity, battery life, it is cool
Cons: No PC software, price, could use better encoding software, non-removable battery
Have you seen the commercials for iPod on TV? The Apple iPod is definitely no cheap at $395, but it is head and shoulders above your average MP3 player.

The Capacity King

First of all, it uses a hard drive with...

The best mp3 player out there

by Ben4er , Jul 05 '02
Pros: everything
Cons: nothing
The ipod is Mac’s latest and greatest product. It is small durable and highly portable. No other mp3 comes close to matching the quality and storage capacity that the ipod possesses. The ipod does not only offer lots and lots of music but when it comes...

I love my iPod

by sokolik , Jul 12 '02
Pros: Huge storage, compact size, fast transfer, excellent features
Cons: earbuds are large for small ears, pricey
I've gone through two Rio players, and while I liked them well enough, neither came close to the iPod.

With its large storage, playlists, and other functions, such as contact lists, mixer settings, and more, it's really a wonderful piece of...

I pod ~in our out~

by maadawg00 , Jul 20 '02
Pros: Can hold up to 1000 songs and sorts out your songs by artist and album.
Cons: NOTHING!
The ipod is great and has a long lasting battery. once i put my songs on the Ipod it will sort them out into artist. Then when you click on the artist you will see the albums you have on it. The Ipod is not confusing to use at all. I think an 7 year old...

My Baby the Ipod! ^_^

by pchan911 , Aug 08 '02
Pros: Has 5000 Minutes Of capacity and good battery
Cons: None i can think of!!
This is just by far the best choice i have made to go portable with all these mp3's i've downloaded. The iPod is small and light weight with lots of battery life and the firewire transfer is just quick as can be. (I've owned a sony mzr700 and Diamond...

The best mp3 player for Mac AND Windows!

by mark_ufl , Aug 10 '02
Pros: Great style, sleek, small, lightweight, great mp3 player, stores calendars, now for Windows!
Cons: no audio recording capabilities
What better to complement your brand new Mac than with a great music player? The iPod is Apple's hard drive based mp3 player. It functions as a music player that can store up to 1,000 songs on the 5GB version, 2,000 songs on the 10GB version, and 4,000...

The magical iPod, the coolest thing since sliced bread!

by joefossil , Aug 17 '02
Pros: Small, lightweight, easy to use/browse, lots of extra stuff, serves as a hard drive.
Cons: Scratches, great equalizer presets but no way to change them in the iPod.
I did a lot of research into what MP3 player I wanted to buy. It got narrowed down to two choices, the Archos Jukebox and the iPod. I was leaning more towards the Archos until Apple decided to give the iPod some PeeCee compatibility, as I have both a...

The Day I Gave Into Apple

by icedspam , Aug 25 '02
Pros: Storage Amount, Appearance, Ease of Use, and Firewire-able
Cons: A tad bit heavy, back-surface easily scratch-able, no extra features
Before I begin, I won't recite the stupid facts about the iPod that you can read on their website or anywhere. I will give my account on my experience with the product, tips, recommendations, and the honest truth.

I admit it. I gave into...

Best player keeps getting better....

by ginomctien , Sep 10 '02
Pros: Great size/capacity ratio, now Windows compatitable. 5, 10, or 20 gigs of music
Cons: cost, sort of.
I've had the iPod for about a year now, and I'm still blown away by it. This is a great little music machine. I'm not going to lie: I had to pay a lot of money to get this thing in my hands and at first I wasn't sure if I had spent the money in the right...

Apple iPod 5Gb for PC

by kebbat , Sep 11 '02
Pros: Holds a ton of music in a small package
Cons: lack of packaging information
The 5GB (actually about 4.6GB)Apple iPod for Windows will someday rule the world! Well, maybe it won't rule the world, but I think a ton of people will soon be sporting this nifty little mp3 player.

The iPod itself is a cute little thing -...

The Swiss Army knives of MP3

by driestone , Sep 17 '02
Pros: Tiny package, long battery life, large capacity, Nice looking, Easy to use, Nice extras
Cons: Can't replace batteries, Expensive, No Earphone Storage
Being a Mac user it is easy to justify getting an iPod over any other MP3 player, but even for PC users I think it is worth the extra cost over other large capacity MP3 players. There are less expensive MP3 players that have the same capacity, but it's...

Simply Fantastic

by wenliu98 , Oct 14 '02
Pros: Firewire, Style, Great sound, Intuitive Controls
Cons: Price, Hard to keep back clean
The iPod is the third mp3 player I've ever owned. Previously, I owned a Compact Flash based player and a CD based player. After first seeing the iPod, I lusted for it for a couple of month before finally deciding on the purchase. I purchased it on...

The best there is . . . for now

by camper8 , Jan 11 '02
Pros: State-of-the-art interface, Mac &PC compatible (mediafour.com), & about 1,000 other reasons you can hear.
Cons: Software glitches(fixed), not for cold weather, headphones don't match quality of the player
In some ways, this review's like Apple's ipod warranty: I can't guarantee this opinion will hold water after ninety days.
Let me explain: while the ipod's definitely the best-of-breed mp3 play right now, I can imagine that the folks at Sony, Rio,...
