Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - IPods keep getting better!
I recently purchased this 80GB iPod to replace my old, black-and-white Click Wheel.The leap between the two versions is unbelievable.When I compare the two, I realize how quickly the iPod has improved in just a few short years.Instead of lowering the price (although it has come down a little since I bought mine), Apple instead has focused on improving the technology and storage capacity -- and it shows.

First, the design.The newest iPod Classic no longer comes in white, and instead ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - More than I expected.
When I ordered the 80 gig iPod for my teenage son, I had no idea how many wonderful features it had.I have enjoyed seeing his excitement over finding all the neat things it will do.We love the pictures of the albums, being able to "flip over" the picture and see the list of songs on the "back," and being able to watch videos on the iPod.When I ordered it, I just knew it had a lot of memory, so it would hold lots of songs.I did not know how great the video features would be.We are thrilled with ...

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - should have went with creative x-fi
apple really suckers people in with these products. you can not just add mp3 files you have to use thier i-tunes software or the player does not recognize them as music files, So after spending 6 hours downloading thier software on my slow internet connection because it was not included with the player I finally got some mp3s on it. I feel that for $250 you should get a user adjustable eq, but no. the presets kinda suck and the sound quality is tolerable at best. any video the software converts for use on ... Read More

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Pretty sweet, occasional issues though
I really like this, but occasionally I have software errors.I have had to manually reset it before.Also, the cover art is slow to appear at times and the "cover flow" feature is pretty slow to update as you toggle through your selection.Other than that it's pretty legit.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Ipod
I am a bit disappointed with the resposiveness of the ipod when playing the games especially Vortex.Otherwise I am satisfied with my new ipod.
