This is a minor quibble though and overall the device is really excellent.

I have never heard of such fragility in any portable music device before (think of, say, the LCD screen on your cell phone).

To sum it up, yes this is a slick device, lots of hard-drive space (40GB can turn out to be a good source of back-up for your computer's hard drive!!!!!!!!), has some good features where you can store your contacts (the good thing about storing contacts is you can create a .vcf file using Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express or any other software application that can create .vcf files and download it to the iPod) and also features a calendar which I believe comes in handy for those people who like to use it as a substitute for a digital assistant

the phones that come with it are a torture device, and a good indicator of what apple thinks of its users.in summary, it's a cute device and popular

For a portable device that is meant to take everywhere, you have to anticipate an accident like this.

So, although the installation, some of the user interface, and the available instructions are sometimes brain-dead, the iPod itself is an incredible device

Because I love music and use my Ipods to organize and preview music for two radio shows I produce, I really want a device that is optimized for music listening and music organization, and this is it.

This is simply a sickeningly, pathetically, embarrasingly unstable device

What an elegant little device!

the current high-capacity iPods offer only 30GB and 60GB, respectively, because I imagine a lot of people would prefer thier device to fall somewhere between those two storage amounts

Pretty expensive device for only one year of very moderate use.
