Apple and its products suck!
Apple's products have a good finishing and great functionality built in. But Operating system kills it completely. It hangs up for no reason.
Works great...lasts a long time...nothing better than Apple iPod
The smooth software-hardware interface that Apple creates is not duplicated by any of their competition. Try as they may, nothing comes close to the real deal - iPod.
Love my iPod
This is my third iPod, and the first with video. I love watching TV shows and music videos, and after two years of moderate use the battery is still going strong! It has just enough storage space for the casual user, I even use it to store photos. Lots of room left for more music and video. Overall a great exercise companion!
stopped working
I purchased my 30gb 5th generation ipod in December 2006. Now, less than 2 years later, it stopped working. The problem is one known by apple where an electrical short develops that prevents the ipod from playing sound except when the device or the surrounding air is very cold. Sure, I can refrigerate my ipod and get about 1 hour of playtime, or exercise in a freezer, but otherwise it is non-functional. Many people have reported online that Apple has charged them for a replacement since they are now out of the warranty period. I would hope apple could build a product that can withstand normal use for > 2 years (only used for listening in car and at home sitting in speaker dock). And if they can't they should stand behind their product instead of trying to sell you a new one!
Don't buy from here
We ordered a refurbuished Ipod and when it came it froze up as soon as we loaded it. I emailed the seller a couple of times before I ever heard back from him during a one week period. I have sent the Ipod back for a refund and have still not received the refund after 3 weeks. I have emailed the seller again(since there is no phone number to contact him by) and he will not respond. I would never recommend buying anything from this seller. I would appreciate some help from someone in getting my refund.
