Hot product, but PC users beware

by cyclist4096 , Jun 26 '07
Pros: * Sleek design * Simple, intuitive controls -- very nice * Ample coolness factor
Cons: * PC owners, beware compatibility issues * Expensive * Time to upgrade earphones!
My first venture into the iPod line: After owning an Apple computer many years ago, I was excited. Apple is a bastion of simplicity, right? Well, for the most part. The good news: The iPod 30 GB means BIG memory, no sharp edges, a sleek and elegant ...

Not So Rotten Apple

by crazietiger , Apr 11 '06
Pros: High capacity, multi-purpose, small size
Cons: no off button, scratches easy, doesn't sleep easily
Well, what can I say about the Ipod? The Ipod is a great tool but it is limited in it's capabilities. The Ipod does have a lot of features, but it only excels at one of them, playing music. It can store notes, photos, videos, but it plays music the ...

A very solid product by Apple: I wouldnt have any other mp3 player.

by insolae , Aug 02 '05
Pros: A very sleek, ergonomical design with very easy t use applet software and interface
Cons: If songs arent registered properly, it can get really messy with Itunes
Ive had many a mp3 player, and they always let me down as far as battery power or storage capacity goes. But my 30-gig ipod has never let me down. My 30-gig ipod is amazing. It has the circular turnstile pad that comes with every ipod, and it ...

Loud noises from your pocket

by za9ra22 , Oct 18 '04
Pros: Absolutely desirable, high quality, high capacity MP3 jukebox with a great interface.
Cons: Poor(ish) battery life
With the latest crop of MP3 players, and particularly the newer ‘click-wheel’ generation of the iPod, it may seem odd to post a review of a now discontinued model. But 30Gb 3rd generation iPods are still available as refurbished units from some sources, ...

Apple iPod 30GB - Apple Needs To Learn Economic Thinking

by soupcraze Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Jan 07 '04
Pros: Size, Hard drive space, Performance, Very high quality, Easy to use
Cons: PRICE!, Scratches easily
The other one of the popular iPods that is commonly purchased is the 30GB iPod. The 30GB model has obviously three times the capacity of the 10GB iPod which lets you store, much, much, much more songs! However, the difference between the 10GB ...

Excellent MP4 Player

by bnlitin , Dec 27 '03
Pros: Lightweight, backlit display, easy music access, holds contacts and games
Cons: Short battery life, non-replacable battery, no digital out
I just purchased an Ipod 30GB (3rd generation), mostly for playing music and audio books (from Audible.com). I was using my Ipaq 3835 Windows CE Device for these things, but I was frustrated by its small storage capacity. On the Ipod, I now have 3500 ...

No Complaints Whatsoever

by robertruizcom , Dec 17 '03
Pros: Ease of use, clever design.
Cons: Ear buds take some getting used to.
Apple REALLY got the details on this thing right, and the software is simplicity itself (I have tried Music Match and other MP3 players and they all pale -- very badly). The belt clip is WONDERFULLY tight so it's secure. If I could fix just one thing ...

Absolutely the standard for portable music

by imrananwar , Dec 13 '03
Pros: The standard others emulate, great design, great performance, great sound, great variety of add-ons.
Cons: PC type vendors may offer cheaper devices. Belt clip too easy to slip off belt.
I am the proud owner of the iPod 30 GB, which I have had for the last 7 months. I got it personalized (laser engraving on the back available from Apple Store online) and it arrived much sooner than I expected, and proved to be even better designed and ...

'A thing of beauty is a joy for ever' - Keats

by digimedia , Dec 03 '03
Pros: Fantastic design, good sound quality, unmatched ease of use
Cons: Not really
I've bought this wonderful music machine some weeks ago, after struggling with an MP3 Discman for almost a year. It is not easy to describe the user experience with the iPod in a few words, but I will start with the obvious: the outside. Everything in ...

Worth Every Dollar

by xraydude888 , Nov 10 '03
Pros: Sleek, sexy, capacious hard drive, easy to use, great customer service.
Cons: Short battery life, a little delicate (like all hard drive devices)
Update: I got a couple of letters from Apple regarding the settlement of the class-action lawsuit brought against Apple. It seems like the batteries in the iPods are junk, which I discovered, only lasting a few hours instead of the 12 that was ...

Very disappointed - taking it back to the store tomorrow

by caitsith01 , Oct 31 '03
Pros: Lovely design on the outside, nice menu system.
Cons: Battery life. Battery. Life. Batterylife!
Ok, first things first, because I'm sure there are other people out there in a similar position to the one I was in a week ago, really wanting to buy an iPod but struggling to justify such an expensive purchase: DON'T BUY IT AS A REPLACEMENT FOR A MINI ...
