Apple iPod photo 4th Generation (20 GB) MP3 Player

Pros: very portable, very durable
Cons: battery not user replaceable

This IPOD is one of apples most creative and best ideas. It supplies you with loads of music, also. Never skips like a CD player and is compatable with about any new stereo.The itunes application is very updated and very useful when I am on the computer and able to play music on it.

Pros: huge storage space.. great sound, games, data capability
Cons: mirrored unit back collects fingerprints and scratches very easily.. wear silk gloves!!!!

I found myself eyeing this unit after i saw some of the neat things it can do... On top of holding my entire music library of just under 3000 songs, it will hold data files as well, i can even use the ipod as a boot disk for windows!! that is really neat!!! plus the music trivia game built in uses clips of tracks in the units library to test your knowledge of your music library!!

all in all, i like the unit.. with only some minor issues trying to use it on my crappy motherboard..

Pros: Worked great for 44 hours
Cons: Too fragile to be useful

We bought a 20GB Ipod at Best Buy on December 29, 2004. It lasted for exactly 44 hours. It fell from a bed to a carpeted floor, and the screen looked like a spider web. We took it back to Best Buy, and, despite having paid an additional $55.00 for a "Performance Service Plan", Best Buy refused to replace it. They did offer to refund what we paid for the service contract, but would not fix the broken Ipod. We then went to an Apple store, and they also refused to exchange it, or reduce the price if I bought another one. I was terribly disappointed in both Best Buy and Apple. It is obvious to me that the product is extremely fragile, and will not perform in anything other than a sterile, padded environment. Apple would have you believe that you can use it anywhere, but I found that even a minor jolt totally destroyed it. I am considering a class action lawsuit against Best Buy and Apple. Based on other reviews I have read, my experience was not unusual.

Pros: small lightweight 5000 songs clickwheel fast
Cons: expensive

its great, i use it in the car (connected via aux input) and listen to all my tunes, have it randomize specific genre's, whatever, its wonderful, it is a bit overpriced, but i found a way around that, hit up www.iwantfreestuff.info for how i was able to get it for absolutely nothing, it explains it all nice and clearly.

Pros: looks great, sounds great, works fine, great click wheel, no problems,
Cons: the ipod scratches very easily.

When I first heard about the ipod I was like what a load of rubbish. But after researching and researching I decided to buy it. After about 4 months of saving up I bought it. It looks great and plays music fine. Itunes works fine at the beginning its a bit tricky but you get used to it quickly. I also had a few problems not being able to disconnect but it works fine now. Unfortunately for 1 month that I had the ipod I couldn't use it this was because it sratches easily and I didn't want to ruin it. Finally iskins came out and over the last 2 days I've been using it non stop. Definately buy it.

Pros: Great overall (if my described situation can be resolved).
Cons: Needs better clip to take to the gym. iSkin is great but the clip sucks.

I've had my 4th gen iPod for a bout two months now. I have 2,584 songs on it (5,000 song capacity). It seems the more songs I add, the more often the iPod locks up. I looked in the manual to try the trouble shooting instructions. No luck. Sent it back to Best Buy who is sending it off for three weeks.

Pros: Almost everything!
Cons: Case scratches way too easily!

I have used this for about 2 weeks now. It's a great little MP3 player and have just one complaint - the cover scratches really easily. Other than that, the software to d/l your songs is pretty good, audio quality is good and the storage capacity is awesome (not to mention the 40GB model!).

Pros: Don't know - we never really got to use it.
Cons: Quality concerns.

Ours lasted about an hour before the hard drive started making horrible sounds. When we went to get a replacement, the store (Best Buy) had pulled their entire stock because they had gotten a batch of defective units. Other local stores were also out, apparently for the same reason.

Pros: sweet device, tons of storage.
Cons: $49 bux for a support call? Are they crazy?

Ipod is the sweetest mp3 player out there BUT I just had to make a call for support. In your first 90 days you get 1, ONE free call after that each call is $49. You are an absolute fool if you purchase an Ipod knowing this.

Pros: It is a nice toy. Certainly is popular.
Cons: Don't become too loyal. Eventually you will be burned.

Batteries needed to be replaced AGAIN for a mere $69.00 plus shipping out there. It only took 8 weeks to get the iPod back again. My advice is to consider only those MP3 players with user-replaceable batteries.
