Apple still have major reliability problems
First unit stopped working within first year. Even the replacement unit stopped working in 3 months. Apple will not cover second unit failure in warranty. Apple still have a serious reliability problem in my experience. The care needed for this amazing device After purchasing the Apple iPod Black 60GB last September 2005, I noticed that once the clear seal which protects the screen and iPod wheel was taken out, I found the surface to be very sensitive. The surface is succeptible to scatches easily. If you are planning to own this device, I suggest that you purchase adhesive plastic cover or iPod skin to protect your investment. Other than that, the iPod 60GB is an amazing device that can fit approximately 20,000 songs depending on track lengths and MB size. Looking for new music? iTunes, the desktop companion to the iPod, offers one or two free songs every Monday online. Want Podcasts on your favorite topics? No problem, just use iTunes search engine to see if it's available in the iTunes website. Planning on using your iPod during long drives? Purchase the iPod iTrip which easily fits underneath your 60GB player. Look for a clear station on your car stereo and start dancing or singing away! One of the greatest devices ever w/ a couple of pleasant surprises. First of all I've owned this 60 GB 5th gen Ipod for over a year now and it's been a blast to own. I often tell people that if it were any more versatile that I'd consciously use it in my sleep :). During the time that I've owned it it has been a snap to operate. ITunes is very easy to browse through and buying and transferring new songs to your IPod likewise is a snap (you can make $$$ disappear really quick while browsing ITunes :)). So far it's held up remarkably well I have my IPod in a simple case and I've dropped it a million times and thankfully it hasn't given me any problems. The worst was when I accidentally dropped it into a bucket of water I freaked out (naturally when you pay as much for something like this) the rest of the day it didn't work and I was bummed and thought I'd have to send it in, but remarkably the next day it worked again :). So in closing this is one of greatest devices ever is quite durable, worth the money, saves you the risk of sifting through 10 million CDs while driving, and is among one of my most valued possessions as in if I lost it I know I'd have to have another ASAP. After owning this wonderful device it's no wonder that there is so much competition trying to compete for a slice of the Apple pie. IPOD My husband is digging his video IPOD. He has pics of the grandkids on it and can share them at the gym while he works out... Ipod My ipod changed my life.lol Im in the navy, so everything has to be compact. No more carrying around CD's DVD's TV's etc. Now it is all in one place. I can watch movies in my rack now without a bulky laptop. The picture is so crystal clear. i fought the hype for a while by buying a creative, a gigabeat, a lyra. They cannot compare by far. Having an ipod is like belonging to a club. Trust what ever you want a mp3 player to do the ipod does. A little advice though, learn how to use itunes fully. People at work are always asking me to hook their ipod up like mines. Itunes is simple. It will organize all your stuff for you if you take the time to learn how. Fyi don't buy that 100 dolar cable to hook your ipod up to your tv. Just go to walmart or somewhere and get a 20 dolar cable that plugs into your headphone jack and converts to audio and video rca's. Normally these cables are for digital cameras/cams. | |
