Apple IPod Review

by Michael Gowan

- Form and function in a consumer electronics device? What a novel concept. In the IPod, Apple delivers an MP3 player that's not only sleek and trim but also has an intuitive interface and easy-to-use, wheel-based controls. The IPod can double as a portable hard drive, as well; as such, it can store your contact lists, other types of files, and even applications. Add lightning-fast download capability through its FireWire (IEEE 1394) port and 10GB of storage (about 2500 songs at 128 kilobits per second) in the version we looked at, and the debate about which portable MP3 player to buy would appear to be over.

Strengths: storage

Weaknesses: Everything eles

Overall Evaluation: Thing has alot of space to store music but its not all what it said out to be...its a huge machine compare to others..May it should be a PDA or something..And the sound quality is not that good...speed tranfer is good..The price is too much for a mp3 player..and to think that it is a mac product...But any i return this product with a excuse and i got my money back..thank god..But now i got the new sony mp3...nw-ms70d.. This tiny machine has a 256 buit in mem..whic holds 178 sonys..plus its extended with the memory sticks...its great..its tinum...metal...But the two things that i love the most is the size and the sound...SOUND IS SO AMAZING...AND THE SIZE IS LIKE WOW....

Strengths: It has the best interface of any MP3 player. Very easy to find songs. Works very well with iToons. Has a fun little game you can play while listening to music. Has a clock and a calender.

Weaknesses: Just the plexy glass that scratches, but if you get a leather case you won't have that problem at all.

Overall Evaluation: This is the coolest Mp3 player. It costs a little more than other brands, but it is more usable and more portable. It can fit in your little pocket on your shirt. I have the 5gig model now, but I am thinking about getting the 10gig version for my wife since she rides on a bus to work every day and listens to our 5 gig ipod and I hardly ever get to listen to it. Then we'd have 2 ipods. And ya know what they say, "Two ipods are better than one". LOL!!!! Oh another thing is you can down load software updates for your ipod for more features. VERY COOL!!!! You can also use the ipod as a portable hard drive for your large files that you need to bring to work or school or what ever. Apple always comes out with very cool products and in my opinion this is the coolest!!!
