Fusion of style and functionality
I love my ipod. It is stylish, easy to use, and serves its purpose well. All in all an awesome music player. IPOD 4 Gig Nano This is a great product. I plan to order a second one soon. Fact - iPods Do Not Play Mp3s! I don't really feel like going into a lot of detail about the problems I had with this horrible product, since I'm sure all of the iPod-attics will rain down thier bizarre cult-like craziness on me, but here goes anyway. The first set of problems came when I found that you can't just plug the player into your computer and drag and drop files onto it - like every other mp3 in the world. You are forced to use iTunes, which changes the file format of the mp3's into a special Apple file format. This angered me, as one of the reasons I bought the thing is so I could transfer the mp3s that I loaded onto it onto all of my friends computers. But that's not possible thanks to Apple's insistance on changing my mp3s into thier own speacial file format. This led me to the realization that marketing this product as an mp3 player, is false avertising, because it does not actually play mp3s. Next, after deciding to do what the iPod told me to do, I had to update the software 10 times before I could get a song to play on it. I tried to call customer support for help at one point and..... let me just put it this way, there is no customer support. After many hours I got the thing working and got some songs on there. At this point I was actually excited about the product, because I was under the impression my problems were over. After a couple of days the battery started going dead after only 1 hour of use, even when fully charged. Grudgingly I called Apple back and, after waiting 2 hours on the phone, was authorized to send it back for a replacement. When the new one arrived I had the exact same problems setting it up that I had had the first time. 10 days later the unit stopped working all together and would not even power on. I am still in the process of trying to get another replacement and I'm beginning to think that I'm not getting one. This has been an absolute NIGHTMARE! Never buy anything from Apple, they suck and they are crooks! I don't regret shopping at amazon.com for a iPod Nano As a gift, my boyfriend loved the brand new iPod Nano (1st generation). I believe that the nano for $179.99 plus free shipping and no tax wasn't bad at all. The iPod Nano was in perfect conditions and arrived on time. I trust and truly say that I had a wonderful experience shopping at amazon.com. Love it, made a great gift I loved mine so did me wife. I got her one so i could get mine back. Was brand new and works great just what she needed. | |
