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...

iPod is the best mp3 player

by shadowkmg , Jun 17 '02
Pros: 10 gig HD, simplicity, outstanding design
Cons: cost
At first I was extremely cautious when considering to buy the iPod. 499$ is a LOT of money, and finally i was persuaded by one of my friends to get it. I must say that this was one of the best purchases I have ever made.

Size capability:...

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...

iPod is fabulous

by dpoli , Nov 23 '01
Pros: Elegant. Easy to use. Best MP3 player.
Cons: A bit pricey.
I was very excited when I heard about this product from Apple. I had been trying to convince myself to buy an mp3 player for over a year, but could never find one that I really wanted to buy. The major problems with other players are lack of storage...

A Must-Have

by maxcool , Nov 28 '01
Pros: Fast FireWire file exchange; huge 5GB storage; lightweight; looks great
Cons: FireWire ports uncommon on PCs; expensive
Since the iPod was made by Apple, who also made my favorite computer (G4), monitor (22" Cinema Flat Thin), mouse (Pro Optical), keyboard (Pro), and OS (X), I expected a lot when I heard of their MP3 player. They have experience in the digital device...

The iPod is a sleek and sexy more than a music player.

by lizzzy44 , Mar 19 '03
Pros: convenient size, sleek design, can hold 1000 songs, portable
Cons: earphones have bad sound quality and can be uncomfortable
Sleek, silver, and sexy this more-than-a-music-player of an iPod is the answer to your portable music want or need. I received my precious as a birthday gift from family, and it has not left my purse or pocket since. Its small size (think Altoids tin...

PERFECT! UNDER-PRICED!

by adschachter , Feb 18 '02
Pros: 5 GB! Easy to use, Firewire, small, solid, 10-hr battery charges in 10 minutes
Cons: NONE! Windows users: stop belly-aching and switch to Mac!
Apple's done it again.

This iPod holds 5 GB worth of music &/or data. I've got 27 albums on it, and about 1 GB of my most important files, and it's only half-full!

It's so easy to use- the instruction manual is extraneous. Firewire...

Great..but serious battery issues

by technodiva , Jan 23 '02
Pros: good sound, light and compact, great interface design, decent storage space
Cons: battery drains unexpectedly and erratically, only really get 2-3 hours per charge
First off..I love the design and the overall concept. It's so much lighter and easy to carry than other MP3 players..or even a CD player. The wheel interface is ingenius and the sound quality is very good (for average quality MP3s..which don't have the...

Good for PC's too

by noops , Dec 26 '01
Pros: Looks, capacity, ease of use
Cons: Ease of use means less features, price tag, and lack of straight compatibility
There are two good things about Apple. Their displays, and the iPod. Apple monitors have gotten good in the past two years, their LCDs are unbeatable. And the iPod? That's their new masterpiece.

First off, I'm a PC user. I don't own a single...

Ipod with PC's

by chefbeldar , May 08 '02
Pros: Small size, slick design, easy to use, good battery life, fast transfer through fireware
Cons: No official PC support, expensive, only 10GB, unable to queue songs
Recent technology has allowed hard drive based mp3's players to become the focus of companies searching to establish their player as THE mp3 player to buy. As a PC user I looked upon Apple's iPod with disdain, however I couldn’t help but be a little...

The sense of use of iPod.

by entalk , May 13 '02
Pros: An operation is easy and it can concentrate on enjoying music.
Cons: I wanted you to attach a bag for transport.
If, first, there is no Mac, it does not sound so that iPod, such as an operating environment and an appearance, may be used.
The MP3 player soft called iTunes that sides with Mac by a standard is used as forwarding music to iPod.
Probably, iPod...

The iPod: After a Year (some things users need to know)

by mrmorgan , Feb 20 '03
Pros: Sound quality, options terrific. Completely portable and amazingly compatible with iTunes.
Cons: Battery is puzzling, system occasionally crashes. Earphones cheap considering cost.
I purchased an Apple iPod last spring and up until recently, I have been completely satisfied with the results. The battery, music, and compatibility (with Mac) were phenomenal.

Connecting the iPod to the Mac via firewire is quite simple, and...

iPod doesn't suck.

by jonnycanuck , Apr 08 '02
Pros: looks pretty
Cons: died after only 4 months of use...
Here's my story....

I bought an iPod the day it came out....it was great...then it died after 4 months.

It was a little bit of a hassle getting it replaced since it wasn't covered under the 3 month warrantee. That's right. 3 months....

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...

Apple has done it again...

by armatage20 , Jan 21 '02
Pros: Amazing Design, Amazing Capacity
Cons: its design makes fingerprints very noticable
The contraversy -
Every PC user hates Apple products. Thats just the way it is. This device may just be enough to make any PC user switch to MAC.

The Obvious -
This device just looks sweet. The Finished stainless steel back, the...
