This is a hard drive based MP3 player so every so often it takes about a second longer to skip to the next track

Apple's attitude has kept me from being a fan of their products for many years and the Ipod, even as a gift, has proven to me that they continue to abuse their customer base while pushing style of substance

it is hard drive based

Since they first came out in 2001, I've bought 3 hard-drive-based iPods

In any event, I decided to cut my losses and bought a hard-drive-based mp3 player of different make

This is a hard drive based MP3 player so every so often it takes about a second longer to skip to the next track.

but you dont want to buy this one because a) ill never fill the damn thing!b

This ipod plays video, as well as having an excessive storage for songs and pictures

Maybe if I were watching a movie on the bus home it might die as I've read that watching video is very hard on the battery, but who the heck wants to sit and stare at this screen for more than 20 mins?

However, the iPod video...well, it didn't sound nearly as good as the photo, even after jacking with the EQ's and upgrading my firmware to the latest version (the latest when I received it, anyway).
