 "Superb Warehouse deal and I'm an Ipod convert!" 2007-06-25
By Spencer Clarke (UK)
I only converted to MP3 players at all in 2006. Started with a Zen Sleek, which was pretty damn good, but at 20gb, completely full. So I bit the bullet and went for a refurbed 60gb Ipod from Amazon Warehouse Deals. The first thing to say is that Amazon Warehouse was superb. Not a mark on the Ipod - looked exactly as new. And at just 160 GBP cheaper than you can buy a 30gb in the high street!



As people have said, nothing much in the box. So I bought a Logic 3 dock for 17.99 - half the price of an Apple Dock + remote, but with fantastic functionality, and a charger in the box.



Armed with my dock, and loaded up through itunes (agree with other reviewers - very clunky and slow in its latest incarnation) have now got it hooked up to my stereo, and I love it! Easier to use than the Zen, sound quality great, easy to 'remote control' from the Logic3 dock. Not used the video, but I didn't buy it for that.



As a music player, thoroughly recommended...

 "riddled with flaws" 2007-06-15
By jrhartley
It never ceases to amaze me the amount of apple devotees in the world. Having bought a G4 Cube which didn't work out of the box (and having to speak to the head of Apple Europe to actually get them to refund me as opposed to provide a replacement as they wanted to) I was hesitant about buying an ipod. Sure, they look cool and you can get your name etched on the back by a laser, but would it work. So many people I knew had them and were telling me how great they were, I figured this had to be something that apple had completely cracked the market on.



Unfortunately not. The first thing is that the hard drive speed means that if you, for example, rip one of you DVD using a program like Videora, you get a lot of pauses and stutter. It's very hard to watch a film without the image stopping and the audio carrying on, then the film catching up again, and so on. So its not ideal for watching films on the go.



Then there is the issue regarding the sound occassionally just shooting up to maximum without you actually touching the controls. Then the times that you can't actually turn your ipod off as the HDD is just spinning aay and you have to hard reset it. This is before you start using the clunky itunes software to load your music onto the thing (tip - don't - use Winamp instead, its far less resource hungry and means you don't have to install YET ANOTHER media player to support your ipod.



Lastly, the tight bods at Apple don't even include a UK adapter in the box - so that's another £20 which I think just says it all. People I think cling to that hippy, small guy vs. microsoft image of Steve Jobs and Apple. The truth is, they are just two massive global corporations who want your money, and Apple has worked out if something looks cool, people get irrational and pay more than they have to for it.

 "Brilliant but a bit strapped for extras" 2006-07-24
By Andy W (London)
I'm very impressed with my new ipod video.



The sound quality is good and the video quality is actually pretty amazing so watching a film on a long train journey or flight is very easy and enjoyable (You can even read subtitles)



it would have got 5 stars from me except for Apple being notoriously tight again. Mine was a gift but had it not been I would have been seriously annoyed at having to shell out for all the extra bits that you do really need - a mains adapter for one! a dock, a case (very easy to scratch) etc etc



If your video playback freezes and loses sound (as mine did) it is simply because the fimware v1.1 has a glitch in it, to make it all perfect again simply downgrade your firmware to v1.0 (google it to find out how)

 "Headaches to start with, but well worth the effort" 2006-06-27
By Deepayan Basu Ray (Brighton, UK)
I've had this iPod for a week now, and it has been an experience of two halves.



The Bad Stuff:

The iPod 60GB has some seriously picky firmware, and will more often than not give you a headache to install. Unfortunately for me, I had to re-install Windows XP - not as hard as you think, but tedious nonetheless. Once that was done, everything finally worked, the iPod was recognised on the computer, and things were starting to copy over... or so I thought. I experienced problems with downloading photos from my camera (a soft reset fixed that problem), and have yet to figure out how to copy over music videos onto the unit. Oh yeah, and it scractches a little bit too easily.



The one beef I have is the ridiculous strategy to make every bit of essential kit as a separate accessory. You'd think for £260, you'd at least get an AC Charger... this is just taking the piss.



The Good Stuff:

It's a great little machine once you get all your tracks on there. Playlists are easy enough to use, and the sound quality is great. As a jazz musician, I have some pretty high standards, and this one has met nearly all the expectations.



Recommendations: Wait a bit to see if the firmware has been dealt with. If you are comfortable tinkering with your computer, go for it. Once the initial technical problems are overcome, this machine promises to be worth the money.

 "A comparison to the Creative Zen Vision M opposition" 2006-06-01
By C. Hatfield (Leafy Warwickshire)
Based upon several weeks/months of use of both the 60GB Ipod and Creative's Zen Vision M, I offer the following summary of my personal opinion..



What Apple does better:

Click wheel ease of use - less (over) sensitive than creative Vision M pad. More intuitive controls.

Bigger choice of accessories.

Styling.

Bigger disk capacity (creative only offer a 30GB version)



What Apple does worse:



Software is not as good. Nothing to convert videos to a suitable format. Software for auto naming of tracks and conversion of a lot of CD's to MP3 is not nearly as intuitive.

Screen not nearly as good.



Where I can't split hairs:



I found the sound quality and battery life to be comparable.

Both (once you've got used to them) feel good to use.

Both suffer appallingly from scratches. The ipod came straight out of the box into an iSkin protective case and it marked on the 'shiny side' immediately. God alone knows how!



Try them both before you buy to see which you prefer to operate, but note that the computer software that comes with the creative product is superior. You pays yer money......

Excellent value compared to the newer version, and it does everything I want, including storing over 4000 tunes (and still only half full), photos, videos, etc etc. Don't see the point in buying the newer version at more than £200 other than the "new gadget" aspect. Happy as Larry with this one.

 "Starter ipod" 2009-06-27
By M. J. Baker (N.Yorks)
This model is an excellent introduction to iPods. It has most of the features of the Classic but is cheaper with a smaller (but quite considerable) memory of 30GB. As with all the iPods it uses iTunes (free) to sort out all the items you want to download to the Pod. From Audio Books to Rock and Photos to Podcasts. Also, part of it can be used as a hard drive for storing documents in .txt format. It comes with 4 games loaded though it is easy to buy and download others. It can also store your contacts and calender via your PC. Not forgetting that videos, video podcasts and certain TV programmes can be downloaded and viewed. A decent sized screen and good picture. A great starter at a competitive price.

 "Looks can be so deceiving" 2007-06-04
By Mr. S. Doherty (UK, London)
I bought the White 30Gb video iPod a the xmas before last, and at first I was so happy with it. It looked great, sounded great, and seemed the best.

After a month or so, It started playing up. The battery is a disgrace to be honest, one second it says it's on it's last limb, next thing I have 3/4 full battery. I charge it over night, and its 1/2 charged. The iPod is a joke, it's more of a fashion statment then a mp3 player.

I brought it back, and the shop gave me another one, now a few months ago, the iPod regulary cleared, literally everything, I did not restart it, also my computer isn't great, so I can't have thousands of music on my computer, I was left with nothing. It kept doing this, till one day last month, it just refuses to acknowledge a connection to the computer, I try pressing all the buttons, restarting etc and it won't work at all. Only works when I plug into the mains charger, then soon as I unplug it, it cuts out and the screen fades away.



Please, trust me, do not buy this product, complete waste of time. My Creative Zen Vison M 30Gb should be at my house tommorow ordered from Amazon too.



iPod's are made to brake, trust me, do not buy. I don't know one person yet who have owned it for over a year, and says there hasn't been alot of problems.

 "iTunes software is flawed ..." 2007-08-26
By fantasy escapist (Essex, UK)
Yes, I've had this iPod for nearly a year, and I can tell you, I've had my fair share of problems with mainly the iTunes software in particular.



Infuriating doesn't even begin to describe iTunes. Firstly, I hate the way the whole computer freezes for ages when I connect the iPod to the computer, then it takes longer for it to update. Only, and here's my main annoyance with this, my iPod cannot update anymore(it comes up all the time now with 'attempting to copy to the disk "OWNER'S IPOD" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to' - even after clicking Restore various times), and this has nothing to do with any fault the iPod has as it works fine as is still like new(despite a few scratches it easily gets on the click wheel since I didn't have any proper protection for it then).



So, my iPod, having been restored again and again without successful updating of songs and videos I wanted to put on it, it's virtually useless, leaving me with the decison of what to do. I have now brought a temporary Creative Zen Stone that doesn't need any software to get the songs onto the actual mp3 player itself and the problems that come along with it.



To it's credit, it does have alot of features(like video, that plays really well), and good sound, but iTunes really lets this down. iPod are decent of you want to conform and fit in but there are better mp3 players than the 'all-powerful iPod', in my opinion.

 "Wonderful but..." 2007-01-02
By brightonalex (Brighton)
The Ipod is clearly the best sounding, most user friendly and, subjectively, best looking MP3 player out there. My one major grumble is - and I've not owned any other for an extended period so can't compare - reliability. I've just sent back my 4th Ipod to Apple. They have all failed within a year which is awful. I'm quite a heavy user (10-15 hours a week) but even still this is poor. I'm just thankful they've all gone within the year so I've been able to pick up a free replacement.

 "Big nd bad. Know anither MP3 with this many features?" 2006-09-26
By Ryan - H.M.H. (Birmingham England)
Good, but not the best.

When my Ipod Nano broke, so I sought out a new MP3. Many of my friends recommended a video Ipod because they had a massive amount of memory and the fact that they can play videos. So, looking at both white and black versions, I decided to get the black, I think it looks better. And, when I first got it I was very impressed.....



For holding 15,000 songs, or 25,000 photos, the Ipod is not bad in size standards. It is apparently smaller than the 30GB one. While listening to songs, you can see the album artwork as well, in vivid detail. Everything is in colour, the manufacturers boast about such technology. The videos are excellent as well, they sound just as good as the songs and look just as good as modern day TV, the timing between the sound and pictures is perfect. The games are decent, not that entertaining, but do look good in colour screen. My favourite game is `Music Quiz', where the Ipod plays a song and you have to guess which it is in a few seconds. The Ipod has a sensitive touch, when you move down play lists. The controls are very simple; you don't really even need to read a manual. The Ipod can go to really high volumes, but this can screw up the Apple headphones it comes with.

The only downside features wise is the fact that it isn't very durable and so if you scrape it then the black paint might come off, doesn't look very good. Talking about durability the screen can be scratched very easily, and any scratch always leaves a thin long white mark along the screen.



Now, why I only gave it four stars: Sometimes it will completely screw up. The Ipod will show no sign of life and you will think it is completely broken. To me this only happens for a few days, but it is extremely annoying. This usually happens when it is charging on the computer. I leave it in a room charging, come back a few hours later, and it will be turned off. I try to turn it back on, but it won't, then a few days later; it will be as good as new. But at least it has permanently messed up, yet...........



Overall this is an excellent machine in what it does; videos, songs, photos and memory. But in what YOU do with it, it isn't really that good. I really think the manufacturers where concentrating on all of the features. I really don't understand why it screws up roughly every two weeks, which is how often I charge it up because it plays 50hours of music when the battery is full. Well, the massive amount of good things overpower the bad things:



8/10

 "Get a white one!" 2006-07-31
By Andy W (London)
I have the white version (see my full review there) but I just wanted to urge those looking at the black one as the best option to consider the classic white one instead.



The black looks cheap and plasticy and the finger prints which are an obvious problem on the reflective back of all ipods is now a problem on the front - the black gloss finish shows them up a treat!

 "best MP3 out there" 2006-07-12
By Pierre RENARD (Brussels)
There are several reasons why i consider the i-pod over any other MP3, yes it is rather expensive and yes it doesn't come with all the accessories but still there is no better MP3 out there.



I have owned well over 5 MP3 each from different companies and quite frankly all those SAMSUNG/CREATIVE and other MP3's are cheap yes, but the quality is several times worse. First off those other MP3's don't have the sound quality, none of them.

Another notable thing is the memory this little accessory has. 60GB is quite a lot and more than enough for all the songs you need, and you can add all of your favorite videos, music video's, audio libraries and such.



But with other MP3's even if you had all of this memory it would still be useless because you know why? They can't scroll through all the songs you want like this i-pod can. The Apple I-pod gives you an easy way to scroll through all the songs you need in a mattter of seconds.



Add the fact that it looks slick and something you can show off to everyone and it'll earn you more than for what your money paid for.



OK fine yes there are a few bad things...

First off the i-pod can easily get scratched... but I mean seriously just buy the nice silicon case and you won't ever have to worry about your i-pod getting scratched again...



Second point, you can't charge from a plug? buy the adapter...

that's about it really... what more do you want on the i-pod? a way to play video games? yeah you can play the i-pod games if you want even though it would hardly be the reason why you bought this accessory.



Add to the fact that you can buy speaker booster's to start a party or an adapter to the car so you can listen to all your songs in the car and this is really one of the best deal's you can get out there.

 "The only music player you ever need" 2008-10-22
By Mr. N. J. Henderson (Coventry, England)
It took me along time to finally take the plunge into digital music players, and to be honest the ipod won the day really due to their huge popularity.

I've never regretted it. I've had my trusty 80gb for about 2 years now, and it's superb.

You really can't argue with the ipod+itunes setup, its quick, easy and works very well.

The ipod itself sounds excellent, the scroll menu is easy, navigating tracks is a breeze.

One thing I will say is that at full volume the ipod is almost deafening, I suggest setting the volume limit to a sensible level to protect your ears.

I can honestly think of no reason not to recommend the ipod, perhaps the only thing against it is the back scratches very easily, but that's easily solved by investing in a decent quality protective case.

Well done Apple, job done.

 "I LOVE MY IPOD" 2008-01-06
By O. Obasi (England)
Absolute quality. Initially I was worried about spending £170 on this but 3 months down the line all my fears have been put to rest.



In reality its pretty impossibly to fill an 80GB ipod (i'd like to meet someone who has) but you're paying an extra £60ish for an extra 75GB of memory over the average nano.



I would only recommend this to people who see music as a hobby and have a vast music library to fill this baby up.



There's a minor drawback with the video player because you have to do some converting crap but it's just a teeny tiny chink in the armoury of what is a fantastic multimedia device.



Screen size is good, click wheel is predictable amazing, battery life could be longer, aesthetically pleasing, invest in some quality headphones and you are there!



Long live ipod

 "ipods cost the earth" 2007-09-25
By Shopping kills (UK)


How much is an ipod really worth?

ipods are one of the least environmentally friendly gadgets available. According to Apple they are only meant to last 12 months and they are designed to prevent customers replacing the toxic batteries when they wear out. So the 10 million ipods sold are all destined to sit in a landfills for the next million years leaking toxic chemicals.

Environmentalists have been criticising Apple since the ipod's original release.

How have Apple responded?

By using less packaging and boasting that they are green. What are they on?

The following is taken from Thegreenguide.com:



"But while Apple declares that they are `committed to reducing the environmental impact of the work [they] do and the products [they] create' the iPod is not designed to have its toxin-laden battery replaced or removed. Apple can live up to their environmental commitment by making all iPod's green.

How to Make a Green Apple

* Produce toxin-free iPods

* Design iPods so batteries can be easily and affordably replaced

* Provide take back and recycling options for iPods and other electronics"



Visit thegreenguid.com to sign a petition asking Apple to make greener ipods.

Just don't buy one.



I had an ipod. It lasted 2 years. It wasn't worth costing the earth.

 "Everything you'll ever need!" 2007-07-27
By E. Chung (United Kingdom)
I have had many other Apple products like iPod Nano's, iPod Shuffle and even the iPod Video. This 80GB Nano looks exactly the same as the iPod Video but this slightly thicker in width.



It can do all the usual stuff like play music, videos etc. And play plenty of it too! 20,000 songs or 20 hours of video! WOW!!!



I am a Graphic Designer so I use Apple Macs for my work, and I often need to download files from one computer to another. Not many people mention this but the iPod Nano is also a hard drive where you can drag and drop files so instead of buying an external hard drive why not use the iPod.



The 80GB is massive! When you consider that an average MacBook Laptop is around 60GB!



Although the iPod states 80GB of memory it never is - 75GB would be a better estimate, this is due to preloaded software on the iPod.



Wouldn't it be great if iPods had built-in cameras and had bluetooth capabilities where people could share data??? If someone from Apple is reading this then perhapes you would like to mention this to Steve.

 "Unreliable and expensive" 2008-01-15
By J. Okey
I loved it when I bought it, and for about 6 months it was the best £200 I'd ever spent, but then it started to go wrong, the battery would give up the ghost after about 20 minutes of video playback and if I tried to put it on shuffle it would get to about the 4th song and pack up completely and have to be reset.

I contacted apple and they told me to update the settings and restore it to its original factory setup (deleting everything I had on it, which was quite annoying).

I then made do with it as all I really do is play it at work and in the car but two days ago it completely blew up, the screen died, it would no longer update (the file is corrupt and unreadable, apparantly), and it also erased my hard drive.

If you buy an iPod you will love it for about a year, I guarantee you that but once the one year warranty has expired, things start to go wrong and you really wish you'd bought Japanese, can't go wrong with Sony.

I'm now then 5th out of 7 of my friends who have iPods to have them collapse under the weight of a few songs.

Don't waste your money.

 "Ipod 30GB Video" 2007-12-02
By Sarah Bailey (Bristol, England)
My ipod was given to my Dad last Christmas but as he doesn't use it I now have it. I like the looks and the sound quality and Itunes is very easy to use. The ipod has barely been used but it keeps freezing which is very annoying and the battery life is really poor. I don't know if I have a dodgy one but I would only expect this kind of performance from a much older model. Apart from the obvious drawbacks I love having an ipod and it's very easy to use.

I had a nano but it was old and full, so i wanted the 30GB,

although it is nowhere near full,



+the video player is very good and i would advise people to download a youtube converting package (really good)



- The battery wears down really quickly other players have much longer playing time, so for a long trip it would not be good to watch a film.



over all the ipod is very goodr and i would recomentit to anyone!

 "Excellent while it lasts" 2007-09-12
By K. Walton (Cheshire)
I love my ipod, its great when it works. Had the sense to take out a (very expensive) guarantee on it when I purchased it. Good job too. The first one failed after about 10 months - would only play certain tracks etc and it was instantly replaced (was told in the shop that this is a very common problem). The one I have now, just over 12 months old, is back to the repairers for the second time with battery related problems....Shame Apple can't invest as much time in making sure their products are relaible as they do in marketing them.

 "Think Twice!" 2007-08-31
By Badger
The hard drive failed on my 30gb video IPOD after 17 months. Apple told me it would be cheaper to buy a new IPOD than get Apple to repair it. The most expensive paperweight I have ever bought! Think twice before you buy one, electrical goods that cost this much should last for longer than 12-18 months.

 "Amazing!" 2009-09-01
By H. C. Jerrome (Surrey, UK)
Well, what can I say? I've had this for 2 and a half years, it still works and is in almost perfect condition, apart from a few scratches! It has survived being accidentally thrown against walls and dropped in puddles, and with a decent pair of headphones can still produce a sound of real quality. It also has more than enough space for all the music I've accumulated over the years! People say iPods are flimsy and overrated, but if you take good care of it they will stay doing their jobs for many years. I'm very glad I bought this instead of another mp3 player!

The intial product sent would not hold a charge for more than 48 hours. The supplier when contacted asked me to return it. I posted the faulty unit on a Tuesday recorded delivery. Expecting not to receive any news for at least a week or more while the supplier tested the unit I sent back imagine my surprise and delight to receive a replacement on the Friday of the same week.

In todays climate I would call this excellent service and would like to congratulate the supplier on this.

Don't get an iPod! They are highly overated and more often than not are owned as status symbols. I switched from iPod to sony after about 8 months because I was tired of having to buy downloads from itunes that my sister had already downloaded from virgin media which are compatable with practically all makes of mp3 player except for iPod. There are loads of alternatives out there that dont get enough recognition, are cheaper and do EXACTLY the same thing (Except are compatible with so many more download sites)!!!!

 "ipod 80gb video/black 5th generation" 2009-09-17
By L. Caldwell (UK)
I was planning to travel and had all my cd collection, along with photographs and my fave movies put on this and there was still loads of memory.



I've had it for over 2 years now and it has proved its value over and over again. No trailing round albums (music or photo sort).



I don't use it to it's full capacity but what I do use I love.



It was well worth every penny I spent on it and if there are any problems Apple are quick off the mark to resolve them.

 "Ipod 80GB 5G" 2008-01-17
By Mr. M. D. Percival (Portsmouth, Hants, UK)
I'm giving this ipod 4 stars cuz it might not be worth 5 stars for everyone's tastes. This is my first ipod having previously used mobile phones with 4GB memory cards for listening to music and it's a step up and no mistake!



All my music- every CD in the house and most of my friends' on it, all at 128kbps bit rate, 51GB with 21GB left.



Itunes, i and others have heard can be a pain, but after a day or so, it works real well with the ipod. It was a (fun) task converting all my 14500 tracks to aac. from wma. It took 7 days at 6GB per day (14 hours) to get it all on there. Btw, itunes will usually miss out album art and sometimes genre and year from tracks modified on windows media player 11 which means you have to modify a lot of the tracks yourself. Ive virtually perfected everything on all my tracks cuz i don't wanna keep touching up the details for my next ipod whenever that'll be.

Another point is that when converting tracks to mp3 aac compatible ipod formats, it will duplicate the tracks that you set to transfer so if you find your hard drive suddenly shrinking, this is why, so set the output file destination to an external hard drive if possible, but if you wanna modify tracks on the ipod, plug the external drive in, or itunes won't find any tracks! One last point about itunes 7.5 is that album art coverflow does work if you set the colour of the screen to 32 bit through control panel/display. It's jerky and cpu-guzzling but its pretty impressive nonetheless.



It's easy to navigate around the menus nb compilations are present on the 5G/5.5G version! the sensitivity of the wheel is pretty much perfect for rapid menu- flicking, and if you don't wanna look at the screen, the clicking sound tells you how fast you're going.



When playing a song, from selecting the track to sound coming out takes 3-4 seconds, fine then. The hard drive spins when changing tracks and spins for around 10 seconds to fill up the 32mb, yes 32mb buffer. If you play tracks of 128kbits bit rate, the hard drive will store 7 or 8 4mb tracks til the hard drive spins up again. DON'T RUN WITH A HARD DRIVE, not that i have and i wouldn't dare either!



The sound quality compared to my previous mp3 devices took a while to adjust to, even with the eq set to 'bass booster', the bass is oddly lacking and this is the bassiest eq of all but the overall quality after getting used to the shriller sound of the ipod is great after a day or so. Thru some non-apple headphones, the quality is very acceptable- very clear, just keep the volume down, cuz it does scream at you through traffic noise at higher levels. Distortion does occur and deep drum beats get spoiled often but other eq settings probably get around this.

N.B. the quality of sound when played in my car through a £7 fm transmitter bought from a petrol station is damn near CD quality, amazing!



Battery life isnt amazing, 5 hours a day at moderate volume gave me 3 days play time, get a mains adapter asap id suggest.



I've heard that a lot of ipods self-implode after a few months and i will write another review here if this happens, but 1 month on, mine is going strong and obseleted every CD in my house and car!



This is better than the new classics ive messed about with in hmv- faster and better sounding.

Until the mega capacity flash powered 2009 ipods emerge, this will more than suffice.

Consider a 5G a worthy bit of kit!

 "iPod Not so good" 2007-10-23
By D. R. Myers (UK)
At first I thought the iPod was a great device, however from reviews and my own experience I now admit in making a grave mistake. The first pain like other people noticed was the battery, mine has not gone yet but when it does what will I do ? Buy another one... nope I don't think so, instead I will go for a greener option i.e use my mobile that can take a 4GB stick and have plenty of music on. PS I dont have an IPhone and don't recommend one either being restricted to one network is not my idea of freedom. Secondly the interface is still after all these years backwards and out dated. Lastly my Main gripe is with Itunes.... The person/s who designed this needs shooting, its the most buggy Un-user friendly restrictive software that I have ever seen. There are more things I find rubbish about the iPod, the case that easily scratches, 76GB instead of 80GB ..... Need I go on.. sorry Apple but you need to listen to the public a bit more instead of thinking about making dollars for your greedy pockets..

 "Ipods cost the earth" 2007-09-25
By Shopping kills (UK)


How much is an ipod really worth?

ipods are one of the least environmentally friendly gadgets available. According to Apple they are only meant to last 12 months and they are designed to prevent customers replacing the toxic batteries when they wear out. So the 10 million ipods sold are all destined to sit in a landfills for the next million years leaking toxic chemicals.

Environmentalists have been criticising Apple since the ipod's original release.

How have Apple responded?

By using less packaging and boasting that they are green. What are they on?

The following is taken from Thegreenguide.com:



"But while Apple declares that they are `committed to reducing the environmental impact of the work [they] do and the products [they] create' the iPod is not designed to have its toxin-laden battery replaced or removed. Apple can live up to their environmental commitment by making all iPod's green.

How to Make a Green Apple

* Produce toxin-free iPods

* Design iPods so batteries can be easily and affordably replaced

* Provide take back and recycling options for iPods and other electronics"



Visit thegreenguid.com to sign a petition asking Apple to make greener ipods.

Just don't buy one.



I had an ipod. It lasted 2 years. It wasn't worth costing the earth.

 "A definite do not buy!!!" 2009-11-18
By A. Blakeley (Ingleby Barwick)
At just over a year old my iPods battery life has suddenly decreased to around an hour of play, this is of no use to me whatsoever after having an iPod adaptor fitted in my car. It also continuously decides to freeze, you have to hold play and the centre button to reboot. It is ugly and far too big for the gym. There isnt a good enough range of cases for the product. Even though I treat my property with care, even using the daft sock apple give you, it is impossible not to get the iPod covered in scratches.

Charging any iPod has to be the most annoying task known to man, iTunes is the worst software I have ever used!!! Why would you voluntarily put yourself through that monstrosity! I had to pay an extra £25 for a wall charger, the lead with the wall charger became faulty within a week of purchase.

The main issue is there is nothing to challenge Apple and their continuous failure in MP3's. However, I may invest in Microsoft's Zune next and I'll get over the bulkiness. The only reason this product is getting one star is because I can't give none.

 "Fantastic" 2009-08-28
By M. Kamara
The item arrived 4 days after initial online financial transaction.

The ipod recieved was a perfect match to the accurate description provided by the seller.

The ipod works fine - does what a 30GB Ipod (5th Generation) is supposed to do.

Completely satisfied with my purchase and wouldn't hesitate to buy from this particular seller again.

Fast efficient service. No complaints. Fantastic condition considering the price and has lasted longer than any of my other MP3's

 "Buy with i-Skin!" 2008-03-26
By Mr. F. Ghillani (UK)
One of the most satisfactory experiences I've had after a purchase was the lean, pristine look of the black iPod. It was perfect, splendid - simply beautiful!!! The first thing I did after carefully unpacking it from its neat case was switching it on. With an explosion of solid colours it literally comes to life and you immediately see the quality of this product. The design is unique, and for me it is perfect. The rotating all-in-one wheel is simply outstanding. The sound quality is impressive, and you have the option to further enhance this by purchasing better headphones.



The video display leaves you speechless. I converted a movie from a DVD on my computer onto the iPod and I have yet to find a better video player at that size! The iPod comes with games and a massive storage capacity of 30GB (although you can find it at 60GB and at more with the new models). I bought this about 2 years ago when it was brand new, and spent £225 or so. It was an investment which I do not regret having made! To this day, it remains in pristine condition thanks to the i-Skin I bought (£15, which is a lot, but every time I pull out the iPod I get the same feeling I got the first day! =)



Some people have had a negative experience with their iPods when these have scratched too easily (which they do) or where their batteries have not lasted very long or even the hardware has stopped functioning properly. I am convinced there are always a few defective iPods that come out, and these are covered by the warranty. The battery life, like with mobiles and other products, can be maintained at a healthy level if treated properly (i.e. using all the battery until it is flat and then charging it to the maximum).



To date, I am happy I did not spend any more money on bigger, unnecessary storage as I still have 15 gigabytes to use. The iPod remains like new thanks to the i-Skin and I have not had any problems with it! I am a happy customer and would strongly advise you to read reviews before you purchase a product, although at prices like these you should really try one before anyways. Don't be afraid though, it isn't just coincidence that iPods are the most popular and sought after mp3 players!

 "battery" 2007-07-20
By Sarah Cleaver
what apple doesnt tell you is that the battrey is lithium, which has a self life of a year. watch dog did a piece on it and it was very insightful.

dont get me wrong ipods are great, the sofwares amazing. its the battery that lets them down.

as there not replacable you have to get a new ipod. this userally happens just after the garuntee has run out. cleaver apple.



Zen micro is just as good if not better. the sofewares hard to navigate but the device itself is beyond compare. plus changable batterys
