Strength:
Portability for in-car use. Top-notch sound quality.
Weakness:
The case and screen are easily scratched. We received a second-generation 30 GHz iPod as a gift in 2003. It sat on the desk for several months since no one in our home had any idea what to do with it. Finally after actually reading the user manual, we made some headway in using it with iTunes and CD’s. That iPod has worked as intended without problems since we began using it.

After long hasitation, I decided to throw my old mp3 player, discman and md-walkman in the corner and go i-Pod.
Customer Service Apple service is good, nine out of ten problems can be fixed just by doing a soft-reset (hold menu and center pressed for aprox. 10 seconds) Similar Products Used: sony md-walkman and cd-walkman(I dont mention my original walkman ;-) )

Strength:
Small and lightweight unit is great for avid exercisers/runners etc. Large song capacity. Sound quality is great. Unit does not skip when running etc. Color screen is easy to read.
Weakness:
No built in FM/AM radio. Short battery life which is not even close to what the manufacturer claims. Most acccessories are total junk (even ones made by other companies). LCD screen will easily scratch if not protected by a case. Unit only comes with a charging cable that is powered by a USB port on a computer (No AC adaptor is provided). Decent sound. Easy to down load songs onto Ipod and into compatable Itunes software. Rechargeable battery. Color LCD screen is easy to read. Approximately 1000 songs fit onto 4 gig model. Customer Service Never needed it Similar Products Used: First MP3 player |

Weakness:
Glass is easily scratched. This is my first Ipod. I'm actually glad I waited this long. This product is just about perfect. The size is so small but still easy to handle and view. Any smaller and it will be hard to control. The user interface is genius. Once you spend a few hours with it, it all becomes second nature. Itunes is a great tool too. Buying legal songs has never been so easy. Sound quality is great. It seems better than the shuffle. Battery life is great. I bought a Belkin leather case for it to protect it from scratches. For my Mini Cooper, I got the BMW Ipod adapter. It is awesome as controls are now fully integrated, even to my steering wheel buttons. I can access 6 playlists too. It charges automatically and it turns on and shuts off with the car. Customer Service Awesome. My first one got all scratched up. I complained and it was replaced with a brand new one. I then put the new one in a case. |
