    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: 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.

    Weaknesses: 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.

    Overall Evaluation: 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 at which it connects the songs to the iPod through iTunes is amazing though. The appearance is a definite plus over all other mp3 players on the market. I like this machine i just wish that they could fix the battery memory B.S. with the 3rd Gen iPods.
