One of my better purchases

by louis_phb , May 05 '02
Pros: Simple, classy,firewire, small. Analog wheel is great. One of my best buys to date.
Cons: Pricier than most other players. Shifty durability
My Apple iPod has been one of my better purchases so far (19 years old) in terms of use and attention I give it. I say this because I am a music enthusiast and being able to carry most of my music, make playlists on the fly, and then listen to it for the...

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...

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...

A way of Life

by dravenfrost , Sep 29 '03
Pros: Light, Holds lots of music,No more CDs to carry around.
Cons: No Belt clip, earphones just don't feel right.
What can I say about the Apple iPod? This thing has gotten me through many a day of boredom. Being a college student I have a lot of free time on my hands and trust me the iPod gets me through the waiting periods. And with the amount of songs it can hold, ...

90 day warranty, 91st day breakage.

by heidimo , Oct 31 '02
Pros: All the pros have been mentioned in the other two previous reviews.
Cons: Durability! And price.
Let me say that the other two reviews were thorough and well-written and I agree with them for the most part. Unfortunately, my I-Pod broke soon after the paltry 90-day warranty expired. I bought the I-Pod because I travel a lot by train and commute a...

If the iPod's good enough for Shaq...

by ceugene , Mar 16 '02
Pros: size, looks, user interface, FireWire connectivity
Cons: price, easily scratched
It's good enough for me. Short and sweet, for mp3 players its size, the iPod is the king of the crop. Nothing else combines an elegant user interface, a small package and large storage capacity at any price.

The iPod has not one major...

No need to buy an extra one

by d80god , Jul 09 '02
Pros: slim width, interchangeable plugs (sold separately)
Cons: length may obscure other outlets
This unit came with my iPod and is a simple but effective charger.

It plugs into a wall outlet, and has a firewire (IEEE 1394) plug on the opposite side. Connect your iPod to the unit with a standard firewire cable and the iPod will start...

Wait for the next version

by hbj200 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Dec 11 '01
Pros: Small, stores tons of music, FireWire transfer, styling
Cons: BIG quality problem, not compatible with 99% of computers, poor battery life, no WMA support
The Apple iPod is a compact hard disk-based jukebox: like the Creative Labs models, it uses a hard drive to store MP3 files, but it's smaller and lighter than the other such digital music devices on the market. And it looks cute (like other Apple...

The best - no bones about it

by trich63 , Mar 20 '04
Pros: DICE - deep, intuitive, complete, and elegant
Cons: Can't go back to other players after this experience.
I have carried my iPod around for over a year now. Newer models have arrived on the scene and tempted me to part with my money. I have put more of my CDs onto my hard drive as I have upgraded my computer, and I have gone through several sets of ...

You want to waste money? Go ahead.

by marisalisa , Jan 19 '02
Pros: nice audio, holds a lot of songs.
Cons: price, price, price
Early Christmas morning we opened presents. Mine was an Apple iPod. About 11:00 that night, I put it down. The design is just wonderful. Well, first I spent hours of my glorious Christmas Day trying to finally figure out how to use it. But once you get...

The iPod, an ideal mac users mp3 player.

by thebiglizard , Jun 26 '02
Pros: Easy to use, can hold 1000 songs, works great with iTunes.
Cons: It is possible that this will skip when violentley shaken.
Well, we finally did it. Apple finally created about one of the best mp3 players I have ever seen. It is so easy to use, yet it can hold 1000 songs, can sort them through playlists, the artists who sang them, or just the songs. The thing that amazed me...

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,...
