Reviews around zen (5.00 of 5)

  • I later returned my ipod, and choose the Creative Zen Touch, which is better in battery life, and it is cheaper.
  • Our comparison will be between this IPOD and the creative Zen Xtra, which i own.1
  • Better to buy the Creative Zen 60GB than waste the money on this.
  • ipod 4g 20gb, Creative Zen Touch, Nomad Zen Xtra, and the ipod 4g 40gb.
  • I am going to take back my iPod and buy a Creative Zen Touch.

Reviews around sound (4.55 of 5)

  • These are nice ones, and you get great sound at first, but again, they break if you even think mean things about them.
  • I have the e3c's, and man does everything on the ipod sound great
  • Sure, the highs sound good, but there is hardly any bass
  • I'm aware that it's my own fault as the right earphone must have got bashed around in my coat pocket at college, but I can no longer use my iPod with the earphones provided because the sound is all gritty and grungy in correspondence with the beat and bass
  • I am very pleased with the iPod, and the sound is great

Reviews around mp3 (4.46 of 5)

  • If your thinking of buying a great mp3 player, look no further than the iPod.
  • For one or other reason it's the best mp3 player in the world!
  • Well, the Ipod is like a really sucky MP3 player, but its the best there is so far.
  • While I do believe that this is the best MP3 player on the market, it does have it's flaws
  • Im that kind of person who listens to music alot, and I didn't enjoy it when my player went dead 1/3 of the way they said it would be.

Reviews around device (4.44 of 5)

  • In fact you may get a newer-better-cheaper device before you get to that point
  • This is a great device once you learn how to down load music to it.
  • If you like music, this should be your device of choice.
  • This is a great device, but there are its pros and cons

Reviews around wheel (4.35 of 5)

  • The click wheel they added on the new ipod just blew me away
  • This 4th generation has the same touch sensitive click wheel.
  • The click wheel lost its sensitivity and I can only turn the iPod on and play the music w/o ever been able to select a certain album or change volume
  • The touch sensitive click wheel is very easy to use and well designed
  • when i took it out, the click wheel had been scratched and my screen had a huge scratch running all the way through it

Reviews around design (4.33 of 5)

  • Its sleek design, large memory capacity, compatibility with iTunes, and ease of use makes this one of the best portable digital listening devices on the market
  • The sleek design and the easy to use click wheel definitely caught my attention
  • With the expected sleek sophisticated design this iPod will look stylish anywhere you go
  • The major problems with the ipod have been fixed with the newest generation (4G), namely the battery life issue and the slighly akward controls.
  • This iPod reeks of elegant design and quality engineering and construction.

Reviews around look (4.13 of 5)

  • The clickwheel is a great invention and the unit itself is nice looking and easy to carry.
  • i would highly recomend purchasing this if you are looking for an easy to use, all around good mp3 player.
  • I bought an click wheel iPod a month ago, it's a really cool device, built with an excelent quality and great looks
  • So if your looking for a device that is easy to load and use, that is reliable, that can play your mp3 files without fail, this is not the device for you
  • As far as looks are concerned, my opinion isn't particularly relevant; beauty being in the beholder's proverbial eye, you can make what you will of things

Reviews around feature (4.07 of 5)

  • I really like this iPod, it saved me from having to get a new stereo in my car, but I don't like the shuffle feature.
  • The click wheel is another superior feature and makes using the iPod easy and entertaining
  • The menuing system of the iPod is easy to navigate, and I love the playlist features, which allows one to build (through iTunes on the computer, or even on the go) a, well, playlist of songs - as many as one could want
  • The iPod is an expensive electronic that has many positive and negative features

  • Itunes is a good music software, but its only compatible with the ipod.
  • If it is music unlimited you want, the iPod is definitely for you
  • If you're not an audiophile (like me), then Ipod might work for you, but I dont like my music to sound hollow and crappy

  • Product was great at first, but only lasted a little over a year.

Reviews around screen (2.42 of 5)

  • The screen scratches easier than any electronic device I have ever owned
  • Had problems seeing screen on Creative Nomad, the backlight feature on iPod is much better.
  • When purchasing an iPod you might want to buy a protective cover because your screen could get scratched if you are not as careful with your possessions.
  • This is only a problem at night, during the day the screen is very easy to see
  • I have to because the screen is very difficult to view without the backlight

Reviews around ipods (2.21 of 5)

  • (I don't much care for it.)iPods are notorious for breakdowns, often resulting from normal bumps and jostles
  • iPods are notorious for failing after little more than a year, and Apple will do nothing for you!Be Warned.
  • And to respond to the person that iPods are a scam: if they're a scam, HOW COME YOU HAVE A MINI AND A SHUFFLE?Anyway
  • Ipods are good if you want to impress your friends, but if you want satisfaction, go for the Zen.
  • Over the past 3.5 years, I have owned three Ipods and all three died with the same problem after about a year....the well known folder with the exclamation mark.

Reviews around people (2.04 of 5)

  • I know that most people have had great success with the iPod, but I wish that I had read at least one negative about it before I bought it so that I might have been a bit more prepared for the battle I was about to endure.
  • Heck, some people probably couldn't get by with the 60GB model.
  • makes me know after being screwed before that not all people are bad
  • When people say (if you go to a store to buy the iPod) "You should get the iPod dock charger because it protects the iPod from power surges while it's charging," don't fall for it
  • I don't see why people go after the ipod that is more expensive, and lacks in the battery

Reviews around ear (1.61 of 5)

  • Maybe they're OK for some people, but I find the included ear buds highly uncomfortable
  • It took me a while to get it down, and blew out my ear a few times while doing it.

Reviews around disk (1.49 of 5)

  • It holds numbers notes and functions as a hard disk for storage
  • The 20Gb version is good enough to load thousands of songs and on top of that use the iPod as a back up hard disk.
  • If you want to fill your 20GB or 40GB iPod, you'll need at least 20GB or 40GB of free disk space, obviously.
  • I was surprised when I couldn't use my iPod as a hard disk for both Windows and Mac
  • Apple's firmware allows the iPod to be synced with just one machine and if that machine is a Mac then the hard disk is Mac formatted

  • I believe that the ipod was the first Hard Drive based player on the market and they have improved the design and function with each new generation
  • I wouldn't complain, except that I know PDAs are capable of these things, and I paid a PDA-sized price for this thing!Bitter bucks-based grumbling aside, the click wheel is a nifty innovation, I could play with it for hours
