Strengths: Sound quality, Video playback, fits in pocket

Weaknesses: not enough battery life; 14 hours audio and 3.5 video, gets scratched easily

Overall: This player is a great player, but as I said before, 3.5 hours of video between charges and 14 hours of audio isn't enough for long trips. You want this player for its sound quality, but then the battery just kills it. I actually ran out of battery just going from Sacramento to San Francisco once. That's the only complaint I have, besides the scratches that can't be avoided even with a case. Overall, I have been happy with mine.

Strengths: Good video and that\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s just about it

Weaknesses: easily scratched,too big the list goes on and on

Overall: this is a bad player it only plays good video but I wish it were a little smaller. Also I don\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t think it is worth the money. I have to use it because I don\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t have the money to buy the nano.

Strengths: Great sound, good picture quality on both video as well as pictures, easy to use

Weaknesses: It always goes dead and a wall charger is not inculed, "HOW STUPID IS THAT"? personally I have had to get mine replaced 4 times, the backlight seldomly works properly, scratches easily, IT SUCKS

Overall: Sure I was estatic when I received my iPod, but I was highly disappointed with its ability to last and work try something new like the Zune or something because it is simply not worth wasting $250 bucks on an unreliable gadget.

Strengths: great colour,sound,weight

Weaknesses: easily scratched and smuged back,can't take out battery

Overall: this ipod is great best gadget ever.the picture quality is amazing sound is excelent.its very light and slim so it is very portable.one or two weaknesses though you should be able to take the battery out because the odd time it freezes and you have to wait for the battery to die before it can be used again.battery life still is not as good as competetors but this product still reigns supreme.

Strengths: cool at first

Weaknesses: Apple needs to go out of business once and for all.

Overall: I purchased 2 of these. One had screen issues after 1 month and the other broke at 1 week before 1 year was up. The apple sales person talked me into an extended warranty assuring it would cover the cost of replacement of the one with screen issues. It was overnighted to them and back to me w/i 4 days saying it wasn't covered by the warranty. Talk about adding salt to the wound. I have not had a friend that hasn't had negative issues with this ipod.
