User Reviews for Apple IPod, 4th Generation 40GB

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: High quality materials, excellent design, ease of use.

    Weaknesses: No longer uses standard Firewire cord, which is a little inconvenient

    Overall Evaluation: This is my second iPod. I have an original 5Gb model and have had it for 2 years. The 40Gb that I have now is faster on startup, has longer battery life and the wheel is easier to manipulate. It's slim design is perfect for carrying. I like the way it stores files and contacts, as well as the huge capacity for music. I am an Audble listener as well, so I never have to worry about running out of space for my Audiobooks. I truly love the iPod.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: nice machine

    Weaknesses: warranty is written on toilet paper

    Overall Evaluation: Got one 8/04 for my son in Israel. Broken 12/04. Sent to Israeli rep; proof-of-purchase was not at hand -- but all iPODs carry a serial number!. Israeli rep ( www.yeda.co.il ) got it 20 Dec, 'phoned to say theu won't fix. Ever since them, my son & I are trying either to get the iPOD back, or to fax the proof-of-purhasse (found since) and get it fixed. Usually just voice-mail hell; were told 2 Jan that Avner knows about this iPOD, but is busy stocktaking. It is now Jan 10; still voice-mail all over. Email was unanswered, fax ditto. Apple alleges a "worldwide warranty"; I believe Israel is part of the world.
