Advantages: small, lightweight and compact
Disadvantages: scratches easily

...well what to say about the ipod nano? of course being apple its very stylis and chic with its white front and chrome back. With smooth corners and shiney edges. Its got a beautiful clour screen and a clicker wheel instead of the usual mp3 buttons (play pause stop ffwd,rwd) Some would argue that there isnt enough space on this but, i think 2gb or 4gb is enough room for anyone because who has 10000 songs realy?! not many people! Although i guess people will argue witht this when they write a coment... wouldnt suprise me. Apparently ipods are always breaking well i dont know bt ive had mine ages and its never broken and ive never had a problem with the ipod or the apple headphones. Admitedly the sound quality on the earphones isnt as good as that on iriver earphones but ithas ample sound quality for any ordinary listener. The price... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use, great screen, robust
Disadvantages: Putting videos onto device is difficult, no mains charger

...The Apple iPod remains largely the industry yardstick by which mp3 players are measured, and for good reason. Good battery life, great storage capacity for the size, and excellent presentation and accessibility are now common throughout the iPod range. Headphone sound quality, however, is tragically average. However, there are also systemic drawbacks to the Apple range - first and foremost the iTunes store and obscure filetypes required by the iPod - if you want to watch a video on your iPod you must first convert it into the required format; a laborious and seemingly unneccessary process that does diminish from the usability of the product that Apple so readily extols. Once the video is on the device, it does becomes easy to navigate through, but the battery life does suffer. The iPod remains the market leader, but perhaps because... Read review

Advantages: Compact, lightweight, easy to use, skip resistant, stylish, cost
Disadvantages: Small memory, track selection, range of features.

...If you are looking for an mp3 player with minimal functions and ease of use then look no further. With the iPod shuffle weighing in at only 15.6 grams you barely even notice its on, with a built-in clip on the back and skip fee playback it is ideal for active, hassle free listening. The 1GB version does lack in memory, and due to its 'shuffle' function tracks cannot be selected by artist or genre, these bad points aside the Shuffle still retains the the classic sleek stying of apple for minimal cost. The complete package comes with a cute little dock for charging and uploading music and a standard pair of apple headphones, they now also come in a range of funky colours to show off too!...

Advantages: Sleek design
Disadvantages: Average sound quality

...These Apple headphones make the perfect pair with your Apple iPod and they come free with the purchase of any Apple iPod or iTouch. They are very sleek and match the design of the iPod perfectly. These headphones are by no means the best quality out there and if you want the perfect sound from your portable device then a bit more money will have to be spent. However, for those just listening to their iPod on the move, on the way home from work etc. they are the perfect companion. The headphones provide a decent volume although they do not completely block out other sounds which can become frustrating when in a loud environment. At high volumes the sound is also clearly audible for those outside of your head and this can obviously be annoying for those around you on a bus or train. Another problem with these is that the design has now... Read review

Advantages: Sound Quality, Look, Capacity
Disadvantages: Price

...The Apple ipod (20gb) is certainly one of the best mp3 players available today. It's main features are it's large capacity hard-disk, good battery life and fantastic sounds quality. Sound Quality: The Apple ipod supports up to 320kbps and even supports wav files for maximum quality. The only drawback to the sound quality is the sub-standard headphones which ship with product. Ease of Use: The Apple iPod is easy to use ONCE you get the hang of it. Initially the product may seem a little confusing and you may be required to read the instruction manual. Instructions: The Instructions are well written and easy to understand. They are straight forward and tell you everything you need to know to get started. The item ships only with a getting started guide and it could have done with a comprehensive user manual. Range of Features... Read review

Advantages: looks good
Disadvantages: lots of flaws!

...Okay the good thing about this ipod nano is that is soooo cute, so small, and so loveable, blah blah blah, but let me tell you something... i bought my ipod nano from the apple website 2 weeks ago, it was good for the first day, then the nexy day the right headphone stared to make muffled sounds while the music was playing, and made the song unlistenable, i tried to contact apple about it, but it turns out they never even left a contact number or email address for me to even reply to them, finally after 4 hours of searchin i got somewhere and phoned apple, the headphones where sent off and came back a few days later with the same problem, and a little note saying the head phones were in perfect working order, even though i checked and compared my ipod to my brothers and you culd clearly hear the error and distortion in my ipods right...

Advantages: Great sound quality
Disadvantages: None really they are just a great headphone

...The ipod inear headphones. The sound quality that come of these is amazing. I also use them for when I am running as they dont fall out of your ear as easily like some headphones, for example the ones that come with the apple ipod when jogging they can come out of your ear and get in the way that can get very anyoing. You can pick up these headphone for a very good price and the other good point of these headphones is that they dont burst break as easily as they have a very good sound quality. I have looked at some headphone and I have been outraged at their price over £100 for some when the quality of these are just as great. These are a great buy aswell as having a very stylish look to them. You can plug these headphones into any standard mp3 player, CD Player and Ipod etc. These are a great choice of headphone. Thanks for reading... Read review

Advantages: Ridiculously small, colour screen, good battery life, ultra cool
Disadvantages: Ridiculously small, no mains adapter included only USB cable

...is no different to the previous models, maybe slightly lacking in bass, but still loud and clear enough for me. The headphones are the standard iPod affair, with a slightly shorter stereo connector that plugs into the bottom of the unit next to the sync cable. Apple have also taken the plunge to release an all-black Nano, this is maybe due to the popularity of the U2 edition, but I feel many more colours will be available in the near future as demand grows. The standard chrome backed case has been used on both the black and white models. There is also talk of an 8GB version which should be released at the beginning of 2006. I think Apple have another sales hit on their hands, which is probably a good thing seeing as they axed the best selling player from the lineup (the mini), but I think they knew nothing was going to come close to the Nano...

Advantages: Small Light stylish
Disadvantages: Expensive

...The latest in apples large memory mp3 players is the ipod photo 60 gig model. At 60 gig this unit has the capability of holding 15000 songs, which rivals anything else on the market. The advantage of the photo over the previous ipod models is the inclusion of the colour screen, which will display album art as you listen to your tunes. You can now also import photos using itunes (the operating system for getting music on the ipod) and view them on a slideshow either on the screen or on a television using the cable provided. I personally bought this ipod for the extra space for storing music with, 60 gig is 3 times larger than my original ipod and it does a wonderful job. The only drawbacks that i feel there are with this product are that the headphones that apple provide are rubbish and need updating immeadiatly and i have had a few... Read review

Advantages: Great Looks and Sound, very aesthetically pleasing
Disadvantages: It scratches VERY easily

.... The only problem is that the extras really start to add up. After you've got your iskin (essential), your docking station, av cables etc this can add another £100 to the already inflated asking price. The battery life doesn't appear to be the 15 hours that Apple claims, it's more like 12 hours max. It scratches very easily, so get a cover as soon as you can unless you want it to have scratches all over the screen and back. The Apple manual says that you need either USB 2.0 or firewire to transfer songs, but I've got USB1.1 and it works fine for me. So In general, I think that it is a really good piece of kit and would encourage everyone to get one.... Read review
