Apple iPod 5GB MP3 PlayerStrengths: Small size, light weight, adequate capacity, great user interface, fast song transfers. Weakness: Sometimes takes 3-4 seconds for selected song to start playing. Maybe if the hard drive could be set to not spin down when connected to the Mac or external power adapter, this would not happen. With it's simple user interface, the iPod is easy to use and sounds great. I would buy another one. I'm looking forward to new functionality being added in the future.

Apple iPod 5GB MP3 PlayerStrengths: WORKS AS BOOTABLE HARD DRIVE, 6gb capacity, easy to use, sounds great Weakness: Mac-only at present. I am putting a friend's ipod throught the paces. I'm REALLY IMPRESSED. I will now buy one. I wasn't planning on it. Until I tried it. Firewire is reasonably fast (as fast as an IDE drive) and it is easy to use and play MP3s, which sound great. Earbud headphones that come with it sound OK, much better with Sony MDR V6 (more bass). The real kicker, however, is that it works as a BOOTABLE HARD...

Apple iPod 5GB MP3 PlayerStrengths: high capacity; easy to use; super fast download Weakness: no carrying case nor belt clip, a bit heavy Fast delivery from CDW. Just plug it in and it works with iTunes and OS 9.2. Surprisingly good sound. No distortion at higher volume levels. I thought long and hard about buying a $400 MP3 player. It's worth every penny.

Apple iPod 5GB MP3 PlayerStrengths: Overall design and ease of use Weakness: ear buds I received my ipod just before leaving for vacation to Hawaii. It worked like a dream. I down loaded 800 songs in about 8 min. I didn't care for the ear buds as they tend to fall out. I substituted Sony's fold up sport headset and got even better sound! I also purchased a 2 way splitter at Radio Shack($5.00) so my wife could plug in a second headset. We were in listening heaven while on the...

Apple iPod 5GB MP3 PlayerStrengths: It's a big breakthrough for Apple and it's a great product! Weakness: It does not come with a clip so you can't clip it to your belt but you would be able to buy one from a 3rd party vendor. Overall it's great. I have had the iPOD for 5 days and I think it's great. I learned how to use it right away. I think it's very easy to use and it has best sound quality. It's great to have and to look at.

Apple iPod 5GB MP3 Player
Strengths: Excellent sound quality, long battery life, won't skip when running, light weight, small size, great play list organization, quick syncing, plays load!
Weakness: none
This is the perfect music player for exercising, or playing music in the car or on the stereo at home. The quick sync feature is nice, because you never have to wait for the thing. It recharges fast (1 hour of charging == 8 hours of playing). Organizing your music with iTunes and playing back on the iPod is so much better than burning CD's.
