User Reviews for Apple iPod Photo 30GB

Reviewed by: cardopolis

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Lots of space for music and photos. Sleek design. No hassle manufacturer repairs and replacement.

Weaknesses: Back scratches easy. Battery dies fast when running slide show or have EQ set and backlighting set too long.

Overall Evaluation: Love it! And the COLOR! I'm a designer and had the 40GB mono color screen. Returned it after learning the photo version was coming out a month later. Wouldn't trade it for the world. I've even used the Svideo output to show clients proofs of concepts of their web sites (once I left my laptop in the car and recalled I had jpegs of the site in iPhoto)...It saved the meeting. Though I wish the OS was bit more intuitive and flexible. And when I got mine Apple hadn't restructured their 'includes' that come with the iPod. Now you have to get the dock separately and firewire cable separately. Overall..wouldn't trade it for the world (well maybe a NEW iPod)

Strengths:

Weaknesses: every part of it

Overall Evaluation: purchased to use all the time- thought I would love it- turns out it bites,freezes, battery wont charge proper, plays 2 songs at once, skips,screan flickers,scroll doesnt always work, had it serviced[they had it for 14 days]still has problems, i have been told they are notoroius for all these things, wish I had been informed before I forked out over 400.00 bucks. It is totally frozen again, wont turn on or off, has to go to service again. I despise the ipod, apple should go rot under a tree- and take all thier junk products with them.
