Always the nerds, my husband decided that he wanted a 30GB Apple iPod for his birthday. I of course ...

Pros: Size, Hard drive space, Performance, Very high quality, Easy to use
Cons: PRICE!, Scratches easily

The other one of the popular iPods that is commonly purchased is the 30GB iPod. The 30GB model has obviously three times the capacity of the 10GB iPod which lets you store, much, much, much more songs! However, the difference between the 10GB ...

Pros: VERY small form factor, Slightly improved sound quality, Much improved screen
Cons: Somewhat (15GB) to significantly (30GB) shorter battery life, Proprietary cable for charging

Note: This epinion is for the WINDOWS version of the 30GB ipod. It is VERY similar to my 15GB epinion (I have owned both). All areas that differ are marked in bold. I will be deleting my old 15GB epinion shortly. I am an owner of the original Ip ...

Pros: All your songs - 1 place, slim, easy navigation for beginners, beautiful screen
Cons: Expensive, unmounting the device from PC, handling of compilation albums take some getting used too

My first review! Lets start this review out by stating this is not a comparison review of ...

Pros: Smaller! Docking station! All touch-sensitive buttons, more space than ever before! On-the-go-playlists!
Cons: No longer has generic 6-pin Firewire hookup. Musicmatch software still sucks.

A Little Background...
I loved my 20gb iPod. I had it running like a top for a few months but last week it started to skip songs on me. The scroll-wheel began to take more effort to scroll than it did when new. I take it back to Best Buy...

Pros: works with audible.com; small, sleek
Cons: musicmatch box and windows XP may not be a good match for the ipod yet

When the PC version of Ipod was introduced, I eyed it with quite a bit of skepticism. It just didn't seem possible that a Mac product could successful bridge the gap into the PC world; rather like species jumping the gene pool. Despite my doubts, I ...

Pros: Sleek, sexy, capacious hard drive, easy to use, great customer service.
Cons: Short battery life, a little delicate (like all hard drive devices)

Update: I got a couple of letters from Apple regarding the settlement of the class-action lawsuit brought against Apple. It seems like the batteries in the iPods are junk, which I discovered, only lasting a few hours instead of the 12 that was ...

Pros: Simple, fast, powerful, excellent ergonomics, huge storage
Cons: extremely expensive, lots of little accessory parts to lose

I am a graphic designer, and I have lived in the world of Macintosh and Apple for a great many years ...

Pros: Absolutely desirable, high quality, high capacity MP3 jukebox with a great interface.
Cons: Poor(ish) battery life

With the latest crop of MP3 players, and particularly the newer ‘click-wheel’ generation of the iPod, it may seem odd to post a review of a now discontinued model. But 30Gb 3rd generation iPods are still available as refurbished units from some sources, ...

Pros: Lightweight, backlit display, easy music access, holds contacts and games
Cons: Short battery life, non-replacable battery, no digital out

I just purchased an Ipod 30GB (3rd generation), mostly for playing music and audio books (from Audible.com). I was using my Ipaq 3835 Windows CE Device for these things, but I was frustrated by its small storage capacity. On the Ipod, I now have 3500 ...

Pros: Lovely design on the outside, nice menu system.
Cons: Battery life. Battery. Life. Batterylife!

Ok, first things first, because I'm sure there are other people out there in a similar position to the one I was in a week ago, really wanting to buy an iPod but struggling to justify such an expensive purchase: DON'T BUY IT AS A REPLACEMENT FOR A MINI ...

Pros: Fantastic design, good sound quality, unmatched ease of use
Cons: Not really

I've bought this wonderful music machine some weeks ago, after struggling with an MP3 Discman for almost a year. It is not easy to describe the user experience with the iPod in a few words, but I will start with the obvious: the outside. Everything in ...

Pros: * Ease of use * Looks cool
Cons: * Poor windows compatibility * Battery situation * Expensive

I spend a lot of time researching products before I buy them and this was one of the most difficult decisions for me. But I lucked out and received it as a gift! Below is a quick synopsis. High points * Easy to use * Looks cool * 30GB is ...

Pros: Huge storage space, gorgeous design
Cons: Skips during playback, requires Mac OS 10.2, expensive, fragile, precious, needlessly complex

I splurged and bought the 30 gig iPod for my birthday. I am a lifelong Mac supporter, but I have to ...

Pros: The standard others emulate, great design, great performance, great sound, great variety of add-ons.
Cons: PC type vendors may offer cheaper devices. Belt clip too easy to slip off belt.

I am the proud owner of the iPod 30 GB, which I have had for the last 7 months. I got it personalized (laser engraving on the back available from Apple Store online) and it arrived much sooner than I expected, and proved to be even better designed and ...
