Apple iPod 40 GB White MP3 Player

Pros: Popular. Solid all-around mp3 player. Works perfectly with iTunes (go figure). Massive storage.
Cons: Popular. Batterylife short and replacementpricey. Bit overrated but seemsto hold togetherbetter than Zen or Lyra.

It boggles the mind, why people are so willing to pay so much for nothing more than a decent/good mp3 player. Me thinks all the MS haters/Apple lovers really helped to boost sales.

A 3hr charge is needed for 8 hours of battery life. Itunes doesn't even offer the best prices for mp3 downloads although the variety is pretty good. Firewire. Good controls and navigation allow you to move quickly through menus and folders. Can only make one playlist on the fly which cannot be edited or saved. Songs can be organized to play based on ratings you provide - pretty neat. If you're going to spend hundreds of dollars BUY THE WARRANTY. Don't be stupid, especially if you're an ipod addict. Just buy the warranty! Better still buy the M9268LL/A model (October 2004) with plays for 12 hours instead of 8.

Pros: 10,000 songs, design, iTunes, size
Cons: Poor sound quality, clunky navigation, b&w screen, no stop button, graphic equaliser poor

Overall a brilliant product, but it has flaws. The biggest flaw is that low bass sounds reproduce poorly with the iPod standard earphones. To get the best sound you need to invest in quality earphones.

Pros: Really cool looking and MASSIVE storage.
Cons: High price. (makes me worry about dropping it.)

As a long time PC user I was skeptical about using a Mac based product only in terms of compatibility. The look is cool and the price is high - but I went for it.

I am glad I did. The iTunes works nice and does everything without much work.

I even added the iTrip radio transmitter to play in my old truck that doesn't have a CD player - just a radio. Works great!

Pros: Capacity
Cons: Price

Nice for music enthusiast or hooked...all my music catalog on this system!!!!!with that incredible sound!!!!My best investment on music in years.

Pros: Good sound for 18 months
Cons: NON REPLACEABLE BATTERY

I was amazed when i called Mac and asked why my battery life was down, after only 18 months. Mac told me that they could replace the battery, but would cost more than buying a new unit. Wow, what were they thinking. Now I have a 15 minute battery life, and it's decreasing daily. What Crap. Only but units that allow for you to change the rechargeable battery.
Do not buy one of these unless you plan to replace it after 18 months.
