Apple iPod 3rd Generation White (30 GB) MP3 Player

Pros: It is an awesome MP3 player, that holds a lot of songs
Cons: Battery life can be better, but if you have an A/C outlet... use it

The new apple ipod is a great mp3 player, but many people do not know that it is much more than just that, it has a calendar, notes, a clock, and some (pathetic) games. The games could use some work, but its great for just waiting in line. It is heat activated, so just be sure you have the hold button on. The volume of music you can store on the ipod is virtually impossible to fill up. If you need a great new, sleek, mp3 player, you found the right one! [Just keep your fingers off the classy silver back]

Pros: Large hard drive, holds lots of music
Cons: Cold be a bit slimmer

This product is a excellent buy for anyone. You can go out and run while listening to you favorite mp3's without diturbing others. This is also great for the kids who do not want to carry a big CD player around with them. This device will hold all the music you could ever want to listen to.

Pros: Ease of use.
Cons: Lack of vehicle-ready devices so you can't listen in your car.

I am not a "gadget person," but I thought I would try an iPod. It was my first "MP3 Player" and it will likely be my last--unless I replace it with another iPod. It is awesome!

Pros: Holds all my music, looks cool
Cons: I hate scrolling through all my my artist to get to one song

I love this thing! I didn’t ever consider myself a music buff, but now that I have every song I own at my fingertips, I can’t imagine living without it. The ipod is incredibly convenient—big enough to use easily, but small enough to fit in a pocket or to wear while running. There are so many options, as well, which makes it really useful. I love being able to use it as an alarm clock (when hooked up to external speakers) or as an external hard drive when my computer gets a little too full. My only complaint is that sometimes it feels a little clunky in terms of organization—I often feel like I have to scroll through lots of options to find a song.

Pros: Interface, utility, and capacity.
Cons: Delicacy of case materials.

A class act with virtually endless storage, an incredible interface, and terrific possibilities for use. Highly recommend for audiophiles and those looking for a one-of-a-kind product that has no realistic competitor.

Without having any specific experience with an mp3 player before, I finally decided to take the plunge with Apple. I am not disappointed. Although I had tried to use the previous generation iPod at a store and found it difficult and confusing; not with my new iPod. I had no problem getting music into it, perusing what was there, and playing whatever I wanted whenever I wanted to.

The programmability, useful features (on-the-go lists), and volume of this device make for, in my epinion, an ideal portable audio device.

As for the con I listed: Delicacy of case materials. It is a beautiful device and the front has gotten scratched too easily, as the back is way to easily fingerprinted, but then again, what fine piece of electronics doesn't require a case of some sort to keep it in good shape? It is well worth it, heck, I was going to buy a case of some sort anyway.

Pros: Intuitive to use, make your own albums.
Cons: Battery life....

I don't want to repeat what other people have raved about the iPod's interface..etc but I just wanted to add that as a 30 pushing on 40 the iPod reminded me of the sensation and joy when I received my first Walkman as a teenager. IMHO the sense of liberation and the ability to "mix my own album" were the first steps towards finding my own "taste" and "clan" in music. Now the iPod w/ iTunes have taken it a step further, I can buy the songs that I like or explore obscure artists' works without risks, I am also happily re-purchasing all the (80s) euro-bands' singles that I used to own on EPs but was too embarassed to buy on CDs when they became available. Now no body has to know...

Pros: Portable, Flexible, Beautiful
Cons: Not immediately easy to copy songs from iPod to iTunes

Though the 30GB version of the iPod is no longer in production by Apple, replaced by 40GB, it can be picked up used from a variety of sources. I got mine refurbished from the apple store www.apple.com for roughly $300. When brand new that cost well over $400, that is a steal.

The iPod is essentially an external hardrive with jukebox capabilities. 30GB is a lot space for songs, programs, video files, documents, or whatever, and the Fire Wire connection ensures that data will travel rapidly from your CPU to the iPod.

Managing music is easy. Use iTunes to manage content on the iPod, adding, arranging or deleting songs,simply by dragging and dropping song files to the iPod playlist. The primary downside to the iPod, that I have found, is that there is no native mechanism for transferring songs back from iPod back to your CPU. However, a variety of programs available on the internet work for this.

All in all iPod is a masterpiece. Though, the price tag may seem steep, you will forget spending the money, once you get plugged into iPod.

Pros: It stores upto 75 hours of video playback, 20,000 photos, and 7,500 songs.
Cons: battery life and expense r the major concern
