iPod is superb MP3 player

by Jaharmi , Sep 29 '02
Pros: Large capacity, small size/weight, fast transfers, Firewire recharge, PDA
Cons: Car hookup, inconvenient cases, chrome shows fingerprints, duplicates files in library
I got my iPod right before Apple came out with a new model, so I have the older-style mechanical control dial. My review will be colored by that fact.

Still, I love this device. It is probably one of the best pieces of consumer electronics I...

brad's Experience

by brad Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Mar 19 '04
Pros: Amazing capacity. Intuitive GUI (graphical user interface). Bring your music anywhere!
Cons: Portability issues for those that wish to "sweat to the oldies." Battery life issues.
Greetings. I'm reviewing the 2nd generation iPod, as pictured and described by Epinions. I'm not going to get into a lot of things that vary across the three generations of iPods, since the differences aren't significant, at least in my opinion. The ...

A Gem of a Product

by tudorp , Oct 21 '02
Pros: Top-notch design, solid build, intuitive interface, super-fast synching
Cons: Easily scratches, expensive, "sound check" feature doesn't work well (minor point).
The iPod is a fantastic MP3 player. From a design standpoint, there is no competition - nowhere an MP3 player as cool. I swear, if there is one piece of electronics that will get you girls this is it (seriously).

You can transfer 10 gigs in...

Take your iPod with you and your music collection goes with you

by JohnnySoftware , Dec 15 '02
Pros: pocket-sized skip-proof crystal-clear-sounding zowie-user-interface neato-PIM-features
Cons: capacity huge-but-finite; back catches fingerprints
I love the iPod. It defines the standard for what an MP3 player should be.

This model holds 10 GB. At the moment I have 115 albums loaded into Apple iTunes 3 my library taking up 6.69 GB. That is not bad, 1305 songs lasting 3.5 days....

Bye bye, CD-Player!

by sisterpink , May 07 '03
Pros: Lightweight, easy to use, lovely, portable, and all around fabulous.
Cons: Is very easily dirtied but not easy to clean, earbuds are painful, scratches easily.
This year when I purchased my new computer, I also decided to spring for a lovely little musical device by Apple: a 10GB iPod (second version.) I bought it because not only could it store all of my music from my many CDs which I'd previously been lugging...

This thing has given me something I didn't even knew I needed.

by machinehien , Nov 20 '02
Pros: Great design Great interface I got over 1800 songs on here
Cons: I regret not getting the 20 GB
If you have a moderate music collection (100-200 CDs) and love to go back and listen to every single track any where you want then the iPod is a must have.

I wasn't particularly attracted to the iPod when it first came out. I just got laid...

Cons: Everyone wishes they had one...
What isn't to love about the iPod? It is one of the few products that lives up to every bit of marketing hype. Yes, it really does hold 2,000 songs (actually, a few more than that). Sound quality is quite good. I usually hate ear buds, but the ones...

The Best MP3 Player out there!

by ncoday , Aug 28 '02
Pros: Easy To Navigate Menu System, Lots of Storage
Cons: Acrylic Face not the best choice in my mind though not a big deal
I have used many types of MP3 players: Solid-state Flash Memory-based, MP3 CD Players and then Hard Drive-based MP3 players which this falls into.

Solid State Flash Memory players have several huge limitations - cost of expansion (if even...

What's the big deal about ipod

by amital , Oct 21 '02
Pros: Large Storage, Long Battery life, Entire CD collection in the palm of your hand.
Cons: Scratch Prone, Gets dirty very easily, Bad Headphones, Bad system Font
If you are one of those people that likes to buy things, simply because other people are buying it, then this is a classic example of such a product. In my opinion, this product is for the masses, and people are buying it because, well, they are just...

iPod great for Music Lovers or anyone else

by bambams247 , Dec 04 '02
Pros: Great product, lots of hard drive space, lots of music, great quality, easy to use
Cons: not a color screen
The iPod is great! The features that it has are amazing. It can hold 10 or 20gb of space which is tons of room for music. And now with interchangable face plates, not everyone's has to be white. You can also get anything engraved anything on the back. It...

Artistically Engineered!

by wolverton529 , Oct 04 '02
Pros: Apple Quality Through And Through!
Cons: Apple Headphones
I bought an Ibook two years ago and have loved it. I use my mac for all my audio needs and video editing needs. In fact I really don't need a full fledged stereo any more. This Ipod is the perfect Compliment for Itunes. I use it primarily in my car...

A lot to like

by lexhair , Jan 06 '03
Pros: Excellent sound. Compact. High capacity. Easy to use interface. Firewire is fast.
Cons: Needs a better carrying case. Earbud cord and remote cord are almost too long.
First thing I did when I got my iPod was order a protective case. It's certainly sturdy but I didn't want to nick it up nor scratch it. Marware makes a couple of nice cases which fit and protect very well. The case which comes with the iPod is ok but I...

BE CAREFUL WHILE WALKING

by pulchras , Oct 17 '02
Pros: Storage enormous, looks great, sounds great, fast downloads.
Cons: DO NOT WALK or RUN -- IT WILL LOCK UP.
I really wanted an MP3 player. Bought a Kazoo and got tired of the expensive storage. I found this on the net and went to Comp USA to buy it. After spending several hours import music from my CDs and tagging them. I finally got to take my Ipod to the...

Ipod on the go: superb

by linnfan , Sep 08 '02
Pros: Excellent sound (audiophile headphone). Ease of use. Size. Design. Price
Cons: Apple Headphones
As a frequent traveler I was looking for something that would replace my portable CD player and my 10 to 20 CDs I would usually bring with me. I have tried other MP3 players but they were either to bulky, or with limited capacity. On top, the sound...
