Bad battery life, proprietary equipment, and expense overshadow a otherwise very good mp3 player

Date of Review:  Apr 18, 2006
The Bottom Line: Average mp3 player that has some extras. Look at other alternatives though that give better battery life and are less proprietary.
Review: I will make the assumption here that everyone is familiar with the iPod and what it is. Apple has done a very good job of marketing this product and in many cases has set the standard in terms of portable mp3 players. Not that I don't think that...

A heartbreaking flaw.

Date of Review:  Apr 2, 2006
The Bottom Line: This is an awesome MP3 player, but do yourself a favor and purchase a screen protector.
Review: As an MP3 player, this is by far the best in the market. Apple is innovative and just develops the best software that works with the Ipod. I just can't get over the fact that the screen scratches so easily. I love my Ipod, but it just breaks my...

Video iPod = love

Date of Review:  Nov 9, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you're considering a first time iPod purchase or an upgrade, it might just be time to take the plunge.
Review: What is it?

The 30 gig "5th Generation" iPod is a thing of beauty.

For those totally unfamiliar with it, the iPod is a media player - meaning it will play sound or video files from an internal hard disk.

iPod 30g video is a wonder!

Date of Review:  Dec 5, 2005
The Bottom Line: Great sound (for a mp3) and the most storage capacity for the money. Buy a case right away though... the unit will scratch if you look at it wrong.
Review: YOU REALLY WANT A MP3 PLAYER? - I just recently was exposed to the 4th generation iPod mp3 player while visiting relatives in Atlanta. My previous experiences with mp3's left me unimpressed with the sound quality of the little compressed mp3 files...

Date of Review:  Dec 10, 2006
The Bottom Line: Recommended: you'll love it as long as you're aware of its limitations before you buy.
Review: This is my second iPod. My first was a 2nd Generation, 20 GB iPod - the top-of-the-line in those early days. I had it for about 4 years, and finally put it up on eBay to pay for a new, iPod Video. The old iPod was no longer compatible with most of...

An Improvement Over the Last Four Generations?

Date of Review:  Jan 19, 2006
The Bottom Line: When it's all said and done, there is nothing better than an iPod.
Review: Music has been my hobby and passion for a long time now. It originally started with mixtapes using tapes, then grew into DJ mixtapes on CDs. Even though I have a relatively small library of songs (about 1,600), I kept the people around me...

Apple Ipod Video White 30 GB Digital Media Player

Date of Review:  Mar 18, 2006
Review: After using the Ipod I will never use anything else. The sound , picture and options are amazing.

I purchased this Ipod to keep me company while I work out, and also because I got sick of lugging around and searching through CD's. I was...

One of the best audio players available

Date of Review:  Feb 17, 2006
The Bottom Line: The iPod's large capacity, ease of use, and strong third party support for accessories makes it an easy choice for those looking for an MP3 player.
Review: Should I buy an iPod?

By this point you've probably already made up your mind whether to buy one or not and are just looking for some positive reinforcement for your decision. Because the iPod's technical schematics are easily found...

Apple gets it right (again)

Date of Review:  Sep 13, 2006
The Bottom Line: Great little MEDIA player (not just music) with a LONG battery life and tons of features.
Review: I recently upgraded to a new iPod Video 30GB from my old iPod Mini 4GB because I needed more storage space.

The following are my opinions on this device:

Looks [9/10]
As with all iPods before it, this one looks great. The...

5G Ipod: Close to perfection...close

Date of Review:  Feb 12, 2006
The Bottom Line: Get the Ipod for its music virtues and wait until Apple increases the video battery.
Review: Okay, so I once owned an Ipod. But those times were short lived when I realized that I didn't really listen to the Ipod that much and I kept on going back to that CD player of mine. To make a long story short, I sold that Ipod for 200 dollars,...
