  Strengths: Incredible capacity (about 26 days of music at 265 kbps AAC-80 GB). Very creditable sound. Portability. Ease of use.

  Weaknesses: No radio (add-on xtra costs $45).

  Overall Evaluation: While I'm sure the new iPod, soon to be released if you believe the rumors, will be even better, this might be the time to check the Apple store for refurbished 5th gen iPods. I have gotten so much use out of mine in ten months that my life has been positively better because of it. With a few freeware utilities available on the Internet, you can convert just about any kind of media file for use with it. A big fat A+.
