    4 Stars Greatest and most expensive gadget of all time?! 28/02/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Hey it's Apple, looks, sound, organiser, games, capacity

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Battery life, compatibility with some computers

    Reading some of the Apple iPod reviews I thought I would add my own as I work for a gadgets/technology online shop and have had extended use of the iPod and also receive many queries etc about the device which will be able to give you more of an unbiased review instead of those which just say it's great and flawless which it is not! Let me start by saying that I do LOVE the ipod. It is a great device which has changed the way in which we listen to music for ever. It looks great and has tonnes of features which make this gadget more than just an Mp3 player. First I will start by describing the ... more

    5 Stars HANDY JUKEBOX 19/01/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great design, small, good user interface, lots of storage, fast file transfer

    Disadvantages Disadvantages FireWire is only interface, relatively expensive

    TRUST the folks at Apple to think differently, this time coming up with their own MP3 player, called the iPod. Of course, MP3 players have been around for years, but this is an MP3 player like no other. For starters, it is only the size of a deck of cards, yet it contains a 5GB hard disk, which means you can store up to 1,000 songs in it. That equals about 77 CDs worth of music, assuming that each CD has 13 songs on it. The iPod only measures 6.17 x 10.21 x 1.9 cm and weighs 184.3 grams. On top of that, it looks absolutely cool and well-designed; the iPod drew lots of attention during our ... more

    5 Stars The best Mp3 Player in existence 06/02/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Large capacity, small size, speed of firewire

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None, really

    Never before have I kept a new gadget with me so much of the time. The iPod MP3 player was announced a couple of months before Christmas, and so I knew what I was going to get, but the waiting was hard. Looks The iPod sports quite a minimalstic look, with a white Acrylic front, like a block of ice, which holds the very large (for an MP3) screen, and the buttons. The back is all chrome, with an Apple logo and 'iPod' etched into the face. The top edge of the unit contains the ports. It really is tiny though, being about 10cm tall, 5 wide and just over one thick. Features These are the killers ... more

    5 Stars They'll have to pry it from my cold, dead hands 26/07/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Huge hard disk, not just for music, superb styling

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can scratch easily

    When Apple first introduced the iPod last year, a couple of criticisms were heard pretty often. First was that the iPod was expensive; and second was that it had no case or belt clip. But that was then, and this is now. At last week's Macworld show in New York, Apple introduced the third incarnation of the iPod, making a fine job of getting rid of the niggles. But what is an iPod, exactly? Well, it's a digital music player (it doesn't just play MP3s), about the size of a pack of playing cards. The face of the unit is clear lucite with a white background, and the back is polished metal. The ... more

    5 Stars You're only £250.00 from heaven 12/04/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Looks amazing, feels amazing, sounds amazing-go buy 1 NOW

    Disadvantages Disadvantages the 250+ price tag (depending on model)

    WOW. I had not really taken any intrest in i-pod's since there arrival mainly due to the fact not many people i knew had them but after going to a friends house recently i was amazed. The next day my credit card was £250.00 pounds worse off although i was absolutley over the moon with my purchase, its a real show off toy. I purchased a 15GB model which has the capability to hold around 3700 song all at once which i belive is something like 1 song a day for the next 13 yrs (dont hold me too that though) One of the main reasons i had brought the i-pod was for the fact that any music you have ... more

    5 Stars apple ipod for everyone 06/04/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great sound, looks amazing

    Disadvantages Disadvantages cost

    The IPOD is a fantastic way of carrying around 15 - 40GB of information or anything from 3,000 to 100,000 songs. Hours of playing time, and genuinely, who has that many songs that they listen to on a regular basis? The ear volume is perfect, the controls are second to none & with it weighing the same as two cd's it doesn't even feel like you have it on your person. The battery lasts for around eight hours+ of playing time, with a simple hour on to charge and you're looking at going strong for another seven hours or so (With three hours taking a full charge). Look on the apple website, there ... more

    4 Stars Ipod mini 4 gb 16/06/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Can listen to anything and everything that you can imagine

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Limitations of itunes library and low battery life

    As one of lifes essentials, hours of music at your fingertips, games and an ultra-chic image. The beauty of an ipod, is the ability to use itunes, this allows you to be signed upto a weekly newsletter, recieving a free download a week ( itunes free download of the week, however the range of music offered from week to week is quite refreshing and occassionally offers some real gems), and having a diverse library of music helpfully divided into subsections. Perhaps the best aspect is the celebrity playlists, allowing you to listen to what your favourite artist is listening to. Although its ... more

    5 Stars update 30/12/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cool, huge harddisk

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none anymore

    the opinion about having to own a Mac is not valid anymore, since the introduction of the three version for Windoze computers. This also work with firewire, though I haven't found out if these ports also are powered like the mac version, thus not requiring extra battery recharging. Also cupplied is one of the best music programs: Musicmatch. However, the 2 new verions have a staggering 10 and 20 Gb hardisk, which is just amazing for a player of that size and useability. The battery life is not great, but then again, I have sofar not found any appliance or gadetry that have useful battery lives ... more
