Apple iPod 40 GB White MP3 Player

Pros: could hold thousands of songs, easy to download songs
Cons: crashed on me earlier than I would've liked

My first ever mp3 player was the Apple Ipod 3rd Generation player, which had 40 GB of memory. I probably had 2,200 songs or so, and it only used up maybe 7 or 8 GB of memory. Any time I had new songs to add to my Ipod, I would load them into Itunes, ...

Pros: Excellent sound quality and ease of use
Cons: iPod battery/hard drive does not last long enough to enjoy using it.

This is the third time my iPod has stopped working. As of yesterday, I was unable to use the iPod at all- it just kept shuffling through songs without playing them. Today, the iPod froze on one song and stayed that way for two hours. It eventually turned ...

Pros: With it superior packaging and overall cometic glitter and bling appeal
Cons: The IPOD is an input only device

I was truly happy when I first got my IPOD .It is beautifully designed . I cant think of another player that fits in the pocket as nice .It has no protruding buttons or levers to break off or snag on to things.The display is nice , easy to read ,the ...

Pros: sleek, sexy, compact design, it doesn't get any easier to use
Cons: limited battery life, get the extended warranty, power drains when not in use, scratch prone

Ok, I'm a techno junkie. I love my gadgets. I love to tweak my computers. I'm a PC guy who works in Windows environments and has been a Linux hobbyist for years. Buy an Apple? Blasphemy! But you say they make the world's best MP3 player....and it ...

Pros: Lightweight, portable, easy to carry around, easy to download music even for "non-techies"
Cons: Expensive, scratches easily, can't really bump it around too much

I used to think the concept of paying $400 for what is, essentially, a jacked-up Walkman was ridiculous. Then, as my bridesmaids and I were driving across Colorado Springs in April to get from the salon to our hotel, I was thinking, I really want to hear ...

Pros: Fast download, light weight, user friendly and nothing extra to buy.
Cons: Came in one color.

I purchased the Apple iPod 20 GB for my daughter for Christmas and couldn't wait to try it out. Unfortunately I should have waited until Christmas morning because I am keeping it for myself and had to buy her another one because it is THAT GOOD. Now we ...

Pros: Ease of use, true scroll wheel, even in 60 minute long songs
Cons: Battery life. Even 8 hours is pathetic. Size. Weight. Very heavy. Non-Removable Battery.

Battery now lasts 15 minutes. I payed 450 dollars to buy it, and 100 dollars for an additional year of warranty to cover the replacement of the battery. Fair? No. If I were to replace it myself, I'd lose my warranty, so technically, i have to buy the ...

Pros: Sound quality, flexibility, small size.
Cons: Not optimal for classical listeners. Surprising number of bugs. FM transmitter pretty lame.

So far so good... my 3-week old iPod has gotten me through two flights to California and back, as well as walking around town and connecting to my stereo for playback. For rock and jazz, navigating the library is fine, but it's pretty awkward for a ...

Pros: Sexy, Trendy, Fun, Fun, Fun. Battery life is good. Ease of menu and CLICK WHEEL.
Cons: Lousy software, dismal protection against errors, expensive, no manuals and too habitual.

I've waited nearly a month now before writing my opinion or review of Apple's newest iPOD; the 4th generation 40GB iPOD. After having loaded and reloaded my library some 5-7 times now, I think I can fairly evaluate the performance level I have achieved ...

Pros: Sounds great, fantastic interface, elegant, reliable, durable, portable, nice integration with Macs
Cons: Cost (purchase & support), lame case (buy a different one)

Now that the fourth generation iPods are out, you'll probably only consider getting one of these if you're looking for a good deal. The battery life may not be as good on the third generation -- but if that's not as important to you -- you might want to ...

Pros: Goodish sound, easy to use, itunes=great, easy to connect to speakers or use in car
Cons: bad battery, trouble with bugs in connecting, the evil apple support any breakdown=Hell

While the Apple Ipod is by far and away the best portable music player you can buy, it is let down by a few key factors. First off its price, its just way too expensive, while I like my ipod and enjoyed using it immensely, the cost of getting one is ...

Pros: Easy to use, excellent in car (with adapter) Plenty of storage space
Cons: Initial setup difficult; changing settings when walking is not easy.

I have been using Macs ever since the 512K "Fat Mac" came out in 1983. I know more about Macs than my computer owning friends, except for those who work for Apple, or some other computer/IT company. So I want to start off by saying that the iPod can be ...

Pros: Outstanding ease of use and convenience — get your entire music collection into digital format.
Cons: Some sound quality issues. Limit iTunes Music Store use and avoid the FM transmitter.

5/7/05 update: You can now easily get a direct-connection adaptor for your car for less than $300, and the attitude of the car stereo dealers has gone from laughing me out the door to telling me how quick they can do it for me! What a difference a ...

Pros: Seems to be open enough for 3rd parties to add hardware and software. Extend functionality.
Cons: FRAGILE!! Bad experience with Support and terrible experience with Apple Store. Read update.

This review has been updated. There is an updated section at the end. I got the 40 Gb iPod for father's day and like most everyone on here I like if fine. I think my biggest worry I have regarding it is the complaint I read regarding replacement ...

Pros: Best value for space/use - especially if you have Mac & iTunes.
Cons: Battery replacement and total charges concern. A delicate device.

As with most things changing the world quickly, it takes me a while to get on the technology band wagon. Took me a while to get a cell phone, bought my first computer only two years ago, just converted to driving VW's latest diesel technology, and now ...
