Apple iPod 20GB MP3 PlayerStrengths: Easy Controls, the touchwheel sensor is awesome. Highly compact, beautiful display screen with adjustable backlight timer. Great accessories! Weakness: Battery life...even just a couple more hours on the charge would be great. I've had the IPod for about 3 weeks now, and have had no problems so far...just have high praises for the ease of use and capacity of the unit. I bought the FM tranceiver to play the IPod in the vehicle, and it sounds great. I have loaded about 110 CD's so far and still have over 12.5 GB's to go...not bad at all! To be honest, when I was on the market to get an MP3 player, I came to...

Apple iPod 20GB MP3 PlayerStrengths: Best sound with Apple's adoption of AAC file format. Much better than MP3 at 128kbs. Line out jack is a great new feature too. Weakness: Battery does not last as long as I would like. But car adapters are available so you can plug it in at your desk or in the car. Still doesn't help those riding bikes or climbing mountains. In her PC World review, Alexandra Krasne totally missed the boat in terms of specifying key features that will make an iPod worth the extra cost to many. First and formost is Apple's adoption of the new AAC file format. I have always put off buying an MP3 player because I never felt that the sound quality was that good unless the songs were encoded at 192kbs or higher. But then the file sizes...

Apple iPod 20GB MP3 PlayerStrengths: Loads of capacity Weakness: Low battery life, cant really jog without the thing skipping. Well all of you know the positive side of the apple ipod. The thing has amazing capacity and quick data transfer with the usb 2.0 or firewire. Now with the Itunes for PC its better than ever. I've put my whole music collection and carry it around in the palm of my hand, and still have room in it. I have resorted to backing up my files in case my computer crashes. The downside is the battery life...

Apple iPod 20GB MP3 PlayerStrengths: Ease of Use. Functionality Weakness: Battery Life I have had my Ipod over 3 months now and enjoy it. The speed at which I can transfer music files is great. Hoever I am extremely disappointed to learn that the bATTERY LASTS ONLY 12-13 MONTHS AND BE REPLACED since it will no longer hold a charge. Mind you the pirce of a new battery is a whopping $106.00. This might change my mind in buying another Ipod ever again.

Apple iPod 20GB MP3 PlayerStrengths: compact size makes it easy to take anywhere. Extremely easy to download songs & easy to operate. Sound clarity is superb. Weakness: Only weakness is price This is definitely the champion of mp3 players. Took it right out of the box, loaded the software and began downloading songs immediately. No problems with my pc. Works well with MusicMatch. Best looking, most functional mp3 player I've seen. I would recommend this product to everyone. Well worth the extra $$

Apple iPod 20GB MP3 PlayerStrengths: Beautiful interface. Wonderful sound quality. Works fine with Windows. Weakness: Had to fill out the ID3 tags on all my mp3s. Already gave it its first battle scar. Definitely buy it. Definitely. I enjoy it better than my iRiver Slimx (which is also awesome) because I don't have to keep burning CDs (which I keep scratching/losing etc.) I can carry all my music at once which is a huge bonus. Also, its incredibly good looking :]

Apple iPod 20GB MP3 PlayerStrengths: The appearance is a definite plus and being able to use iTunes is nice as well. The amount of products such as the speakers, cases, and FM tuner is also very helpful. Weakness: The battery life is horrible, the structure can get scratched very easily but other than that there is no other negative things to say about it. The iPod is no doubt an awesome product but it is over rated to much extent. The battery life was a real deficet to me becuase i because of charging it mid charge early on got down to only 4 hours of charge now. This means that the Lithium Ion battery has a memory of each time you charge and unless you wait to charge the iPod at no battery life, the battery depleads its life over time. The speed...

Apple iPod 20GB MP3 PlayerStrengths: Stylish, small, holds all your music, very well designed. Weakness: Does not come with USB cable, battery life not great. It's easy to see why these things get great reviews. They're very good looking and smaller than the other hard disk players out there. The interface is totally intuitive and the display is large enough to display lots of information in a decently sized typeface. It comes with a belt clip, a "wired remote" that lets you perform basic functions without going back to the main unit, and very good...

Apple iPod 20GB MP3 PlayerStrengths: Very Durable, easy to use, clean looking, Great design, The best quality in sound, No static sounds. Weakness: You have to buy the usb adapter if you dont have firewire. This is for those who dont know much on computers because it has ease of use. This is a great product. Easy to use right out of the box. If you dont have firewire be sure to buy the usb link or you wont be able to use it till you do. This has great quality of music. There is no fuzz of static. It is the best mp3 player available. Advertisement

Apple iPod 20GB MP3 Player
Strengths: Excellent sound quality, User-friendly, and solid built. Also easy scroll down menus, screen is bright and clear.
Weakness: Heavier than I expected. Price. No built-in FM radio.
Although I have owned this for 5 days, I love the 20 GB of storage for music and the great sound output from IPOD. Great accessories with the purchase including music software. One thing Apple should include with this IPOD is a better IPOD case that would enable the use of buttons on unit. Overall, I would still give this unit an excellent rating. It's one of the best MP3 players around.
