Apple SUCKS!
Honestly, why would anyone buy any apple product when you can get any other Mp3 player that would be twice as good for half the price.
Disappointed
I was not told about a fairly large dent against the earphone socket- the earphones still worked, but I would have liked to be aware of a dent in such an important place instead of being told that there were simply "dents."
Love it
I love my i-pod. I have had it for 2 years now and I still consider it one of the best purchases I have ever made. I work in landscaping and I also own two horses which means I spend a lot of time outside. I have subjected this i-pod to everything. From dropping it in water buckets to running it over with my truck and dropping it on pavement repeatedly (accidentally of course.)
It still works beautifully and I would not trade it for anything. It is very scratched but that is my own fault.
I would recommend this product to anyone who leads an active life style but doesn't like quiet.
Capable, but not great
I have had this model (8 GB red) for about 10 months now. I should have learned my lesson from my last iPod, but I liked the size and bought it anyway. I definitely give it credit for size and look, however, the battery life is not as advertised. I have never had the life that they advertise and if anything it seems to be decreasing. It is a continual frustration I have had with apple products so beware. Nice design....average execution. In some ways the product seems to have cheapened over time. Switches are not quite as substantial, the screen seems to be very prone to damage and I am doing everything I can to keep it from scratching. Additionally, like many apple products, it is a sexy product but lacking in some features.
One bad Apple iPod
This was by far my worst purchase experience ever at Amazon. The supposedly "Factory Refurbished" iPod did not work properly, had scratches/nicks on the case and I highly doubt it came from Apple. The process of getting my money refunded was too long. Their "online live assistance" is a sham, it does not even work. It took threats to get any response from the Seller. They totally misrepresented the product. I bought a current generation refurbished iPod (that looks and works like new) directly from Apple for the same price. I will never purchase anything else from this Seller.
