so far, so good
i've only had this product for...maybe a month, and so far it has worked fine. I do think i have to reset it more than usual when i'm trying to turn it on, which i find weird. Basically, sometimes it won't turn on when i press the play button. i usually listen to it at night, and fall asleep before the playlist ends, and when i try to turn it on the next day, i have to do the 'reset' procedure. maybe i'm just not used to the little quirks of an ipod? battery life has been decent, since i use my ipod practically everyday, i do have to charge it every night or so, but i knew about battery life expectations when i was looking for an ipod. i bought a case for it, because i wanted to protect the ipod (since i use it on a regular basis). Other than these 2 things (battery and reset), the ipod has worked software-wise when i have to plug it into my computer. it has lived up to my expectations for an ipod.
Awesome
My iPod definitely lived up to the hype. I love it. I thought watching videos on it would be foolish because of the small screen, but the truth is the video is crystal clear and I had no problems whatsoever watching TV shows like "Lost," "Desperate Housewives," or "30 Rock" on it.
Ammmmmazing!
I love this iPod sooooo much. I bought it almost a year ago, and it's amazing. never broke once. best iPod ever!
Upgraded to 80gig
My order was upgraded to 80 gig, becaude the company did not have the 3ogig in stock. This upgrade was made at no additional cost. GREAT!!!!!
Compact
Okay, so this doesn't stand anywhere close in comparsion to the IPODs that they are selling now with touch screens and other little ammenities, but this is still a gem. I have over 400 CDs on my Pod and it isn't even half full. I don't know if I would watch a full movie on it, but some people do. It is a great tool to have at home or at work or when you are exercising.
