Its appearance is the most well-designed out there, the sound quality is excellent, its storage capacity is the highest around, and it's worth the $200-$400 you pay for

The elegant design makes it very appealing...perhaps one of the main reasons why I bought it lol

It can take a licking because of it's sturdy design.

the design of this generation of ipod is superb

Very intuitive design

GREAT DESIGN, trulycouldnot have been done better, and you can hold ordinary data, a calender, and reminders, and the great adress book built

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

Maybe this new design is more durable than the last, but I kind of doubt it.

and design, also the popular choice by most people who haven't researched mp3 playersIf looking for a mini mp3 player:1-Zen Micro-Nice bright colors, with capability of playing wma and has a built in radio also an extra gig of storage2-Rio Carbon-Smallest sleekest design just lacking the controll of a touch bar or wheel also cheaper than the other two quality players in this area3-Ipod Mini-Same price as Zen micro with 4GB instead of 5, nice if you like metallic colors, pretty design and scroll wheel

As lauded in the press, it is an example of superior design, it's extremely portable, and stores what seems like an infinite number of songs

With the expected sleek sophisticated design this iPod will look stylish anywhere you go

This iPod reeks of elegant design and quality engineering and construction.

So, my advice is go for it... but really use it a lot in that first year of ownership; because as well as designing its great looks, Apple has also designed in obsolescence

I had a Casio unit, which had given great service, and would have been happy to get another one, but was tempted by the iPod's sleek design, storage capacity, connection options- - firewire and USB, and its integration with iTunes

Basically it is a portable hd drive designed for music.

The touch sensitive click wheel is very easy to use and well designed

My advice is do not wait for the next big advance in mp2 players, because I believe the ipod has the perfect design.

Its ease of use and stylish design should please anyone in the family-even yourself.

Maybe this new design is more durable than the last, but I kind of doubt it.

I love the slim design; the weight would only be an issue if it were bulky

The iPod is designed to work with firewire, and with the additional purchase of an adapter, works with USB 2.0

:DESIGN/RELIABILITY: Shoddy

The iPod:Great design and size although it could use a little softer shell, better get your self some kind of soft carrier when buying it

Not to mention, the DESIGN is perfect.

Very well designed, very well presented as well.

The design is nice, but this thing will be scratched up in about 10 minutes.

The iPod has a very neat design

The earphones are really well designed; the white cord plastic even feels nice with a respectable length that does not tangle

The clickwheel is intuitive, the structure is solid, and the white design is slick.

(I think Case Logic makes the best-designed cases for cameras, laptops, and other devices)

it's sleek design and

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

I rate this product 5 stars for innovative design but 0 star for warranty/repair.

For a sleeker, smaller and more "average" MP3 player the Nitrus is great but the iPod blows it out of the water - the interface is great and the design is wonderful

The sleek design and the easy to use click wheel definitely caught my attention

but you're saving a lot of money and from personal experience the docking station is really sort of a rip-off - based on the sleek design of the

There's a reason it's out there, everywhere--it's a well-designed, practical product

The design is slick, to be sure.

It has a GREAT design

The design, as mentioned above, is sleek, cool and trendy (and I think trendy = good, but it's always hard to tell these days).The battery life lastes 12 hours, and charges quickly

However the alarm clock is just garbage because the device has a very limited internal speaker that is designed for just low-level `clicking' sounds

I hope you enjoy your I-Pod!

For my money, buy the 20G, don't waste time spending almost as much for the 6G.This Apple product is well-made and can stand a few knocks and bumps.

My iPod 20G does NOT like the cold weather

The major problems with the ipod have been fixed with the newest generation (4G), namely the battery life issue and the slighly akward controls.
