The best - no bones about it

by trich63 , Mar 20 '04
Pros: DICE - deep, intuitive, complete, and elegant
Cons: Can't go back to other players after this experience.
I have carried my iPod around for over a year now. Newer models have arrived on the scene and tempted me to part with my money. I have put more of my CDs onto my hard drive as I have upgraded my computer, and I have gone through several sets of ...

When my husband told me that Apple was going to announce some groundbreaking new product, I just groaned and rolled my eyes. In my house, these pre-announcement announcements always stir up a flurry of activity as my husband hits his various rumor sites...

by dpoli , Nov 23 '01
Pros: Elegant. Easy to use. Best MP3 player.
Cons: A bit pricey.
I was very excited when I heard about this product from Apple. I had been trying to convince myself to buy an mp3 player for over a year, but could never find one that I really wanted to buy. The major problems with other players are lack of storage...

The value of IPod

by rrose , Nov 27 '01
Pros: Sounds Great, Fits in any pocket, Superb Interface and iTunes integration. Fast file transfers.
Cons: Mac only. No belt clip. Artist and CD names truncated. Front prone to tiny scratches.
The main criticism I’ve read of the iPod lately is how it’s “outrageously expensive” or people stating that they would buy one “if only Apple made it $200”. My experience is to the contrary. The iPod would be a good value at US$500: The 1.8” Toshiba...

A Must-Have

by maxcool , Nov 28 '01
Pros: Fast FireWire file exchange; huge 5GB storage; lightweight; looks great
Cons: FireWire ports uncommon on PCs; expensive
Since the iPod was made by Apple, who also made my favorite computer (G4), monitor (22" Cinema Flat Thin), mouse (Pro Optical), keyboard (Pro), and OS (X), I expected a lot when I heard of their MP3 player. They have experience in the digital device...

iPod is THE standard.

by dimplemonkey , Jan 06 '02
Pros: You've been given the Cadillac of MP3 players...
Cons: ...It leaves you hungering for more features.
I recently have been lusting over the iPod when it first made its appearance back in October '01. Finally, someone got it right. Not only is it portable and easy to use but the 5 gig hard drive and the firewire connectivity is a major selling point. To...

The first usable MP3 player

by phatbhuda , Dec 06 '01
Pros: Functional, Sleek, Fun
Cons: A little pricey
When you listen to music, it's nice to have a variety. With CD's and cassettes, that means carrying around more albums.

With the advent of the portable mp3 player, there were several options. Either have a limited set of music with no...

iPod is the best mp3 player

by shadowkmg , Jun 17 '02
Pros: 10 gig HD, simplicity, outstanding design
Cons: cost
At first I was extremely cautious when considering to buy the iPod. 499$ is a LOT of money, and finally i was persuaded by one of my friends to get it. I must say that this was one of the best purchases I have ever made.
