iPod Classic truthful review

Advantages: Easy navigation, clear large screen, huge capacity, great looking, excellent value for money
Disadvantages: iTunes a little annoying, dodgy earphones

...**UPDATE** After having this iPod for 18 months now, I thought I'd update my review as parts of it are no longer true. This review was updated 22.07.09 :-) ** UPDATE** I'll have owned my iPod Classic for two years when December comes, so at the end of this review I'll give you an update on how it's running almost 24 months after it was first purchased. I was hesitant about buying an iPod as my first, an iPod mini a few years ago, broke and never mended itself as soon as I bought it. It was sent back and I've been using other (decent) players since. But iPods are so popular I decided to give them another shot and, truthfully, am very pleased that I did. After using a perfectly good Samsung YP-Z5A 4GB Mp3 player, I was bought the iPod Classic 80GB (in black) for a Christmas present. Firstly, I would order it off the official...

Review of Apple iPod classic 80 GB

iPod Touch

Advantages: Very cool and sexy, Packed with features, Good sound quality through headphones,
Disadvantages: Built in speaker quality, battery when online, durability, and price (but its Apple so y'know :) )

...First thing is first. With any Apple product you know it will be very expensive, very cool and pretty simple to use. I have been an Apple fan for a while and have have an iPod mini (4gb), iPod video (30gb) and now my iPod touch (as well as a Mac mini =] ). If you are wanting an MP3 player that will just play your music then you may be put off the iPod touch as for the same price you can have a considerably bigger music player. However the Album Art scrolling feature- known as Cover Flow make it more interesting, and there is nothing more fun than scrolling through your albums with your fingers! However this is a lot more than an MP3 player. Although it will hold 2000 songs or tonnes of videos it also has a lot more features built in. With its built in Wi-Fi you are able to use Safari to surf the internet. In my experience the internet...

  iPod Touch 8GB

Advantages: intuitive, stylish, fun, great music player, variety of features, internet function
Disadvantages: fingerprints! no camera, no built in speakers, only available in black currently

... 8GB iPod Touch As my boyfriend's birthday approached, I was panicking as to what to get him as men are a nightmare to shop for and I really wanted to get something exciting. I noticed that he kept borrowing my ipod nano and initially planned to get him one of his own but on the Apple website I saw the ipod touch and worked out that if I got him that then I could steal it and use it! From the Apple website, the 8GB iPod Touch cost me £199 with free postage and packing and a free optional engraving. I thought this was a reasonable price it was nice and simple to order it online. I chose the free engraving option and this enabled me to have a two line engraving on the back (top centre) of the ipod. Obviously, it is a very good idea to check your spelling at this point as the ipod cannot be returned due your mistakes when...

Touch like an iPod

Advantages: Quality is brilliant and all the functions are Useful
Disadvantages: Fingerprints and Scratches

...Apple IPod Touch 8GB Apple has always been the forerunner in the field of MP3 players. I bought my first iPod 3 years ago, the iPod 4 GB mini, I was quite pleased at first but after a while the battery stopped working, but it remains to be seen whether or not this is the case with the Touch. I spent quite a while looking around for the best price, in the end I opted for eBay! I now think that I should've waited for the right one to come around, I chose to buy a new one for £150. However, when I looked at the Apple website they were £199 so I saved £50 which was worth the risk on eBay as it often is. I also bought a case and an i-trip.

iPod Touch

Advantages: Easy to use interface
Disadvantages: Restricted to Apple only appliances

...With one of the coolest and friendliest interface on the planet the iPod Touch is far more than a music player its a statement about you keeping up with technology. With all the great features of the iPhone apart from phone calls and SMS this can be purchased by anyone without having to buy and expensive and lengthy contract. With a screen large enough to watch movies in great resolution and enough space to hold over 1000 of your favourite songs on. The iPod Touch comes with a built in Wi-Fi receiver so whilst you are about and about you can pick up a Wi-Fi connection and start browsing your favourite websites on the acclaimed Safari browser. Also comes with a built in YouTube video watcher enabling you to watch you favourite viral clips on the move....

iPod Touch

Advantages: Awesome & complex iPod yet.
Disadvantages: The size of iPod.

...When iPod Touch was first released in the UK in October last year, and with my savings, I purchased the iPod. On the Apple website, it cost £199.00 with free packaging, delivery and an optional engraving, so I thought the price was very reasonable, especially for a very complex gadget like iPod Touch. I never had an iPod before so I was excited to receive my iPod in the post. The first thing I had to do was to plug the iPod onto my laptop, so it would start charging. For those who doesn't have iTunes on their computer, you will need to download the program however I can remember a pop-up appearing to tell me to install iTunes. For a while, when the iPod was charging, I had a little fiddle around to see what the iPod was like, and it certainly didn't disappoint me! iPod Touch contains 8GB storage which you can include music, videos...

iPod Touch - A Touch of Class

Advantages: Superb features. Great touch screen interface and easy to use
Disadvantages: Battery Life and internet connectivity on the go

...Apple, the makers of the ground breaking iPod now bring you the world at your fingertips in the slimline shape of the iPod Touch. Whether you want to look at your favourite website whilst on the train, check your e-mails away from your computer, find your way around a busy city, check the weather and your stocks and shares, view the latest episode of your favourite tv show in the car, view photos or just listen to your music collection the iPod Touch allows it all at the touch of a finger. The Touch's sleek design and fantastic graphic interface means it is very easy to use. The only disadvantages to the touch is its tendency to lose charge quickly when multitasking i.e. listening to music and surfing the internet with the safari application and also the problems that can be faced when trying to connect to WiFi sources whilst...

iPod is unbelievable

Advantages: High Qaulity Screen Resolution, Good Performance, Smooth Screen Touch
Disadvantages: Quite pricey

...I love a touch screen and I love how big the screen is. Ok, here's the things I love about iPod touch: * The screen touch ability ...i cant really describe the experience u must try it to believe it . *Seamless connectivity to any WiFi. *Apple lossless audio playback: now this was the feature that my ears were shocked by. I listened to similar music on both Touch and classic iPod (apple lossless codec) and they have done something with the playback of this version! it sounds crisp and clear! * iCal, contacts, YouTube feature are all some of my favorites as well. There is a different "feel" to having those funny videos on the fly and showing them to friends semi-intantly. *Granted they are a bit off on the overall features but no one up to this point built a PDA application which runs like a desktop class application....

This iPod.

Advantages: Lots of space, easy to carry around, value.
Disadvantages: The price tag.

...Absolutely everyone should own an iPod. I have had several of them and could no longer imagine life without the convenience of every song I've ever owned with me at all times. There is space for several thousand songs on the 80gb, and the battery life allows a lot of playback, so you can listen to your favourite tracks over and over on the go without any worry. The features are convenient - the games are always handy whilst waiting for transport etc, plus you can listen to your music whilst navigating around the menus. The earphones that come as standard are high quality and provide good sound playback, allowing you to enjoy your music to it's full potential. Some people may lean towards buying the Nano for it's lower price tab, but the 80gb is great value for money if you're the type to have a lot of music and can never decide what...
