ipod new

   The seller was prompt and helpful when contacted about arranging an alternate shipping address. The actual iPod touch had quite a few significant scratches on the back. This was pretty annoying because the seller had advertised the product with a 'Like New' description. I personally don't think that a little used product should be considerably scratched. The price asked, $289 was however, significantly below the actual $400 price, so I am quite happy with my product on the whole.

   I purchased this model late Tuesday night and was able to get a $10 discount and free super saver shipping. I knew that the super saver shipping would delay me having the Ipod in my hand but Amazon has been terrific when it comes to shipping. Sure enough, the expected arrival date was between July 28th-August 1st. I recieved it today. Not bad with free shipping and it ended up arriving 3 full days after I ordered it. Much to my amazement also, when I ordered my ipod touch, the next day the price dropped. This is an amazing piece of harware. The picture is outstanding, the sounds are amazing, and the new programs on it are something special. I was aware that version 2.0 came out and I wasn't expecting my ipod touch to have it. It would depend on when Apple ships out the Ipod touch with the new software upgrade. Many people were complaining that they didn't get the software upgrade they were expecting- 2.0. Please be aware that it all depends on what the supplier has. In Amazon's case, they probably still have the 1.1's. I haven't seen any reviewer say that they just bought their Ipod touch and it has version 2.0. If you went to Apple's website, possibly you would be able to buy an Ipod touch with the new software upgrade but I'm betting that the price will be somewhat higher. Amazon had the lowest price and my Ipod works like a charm. Out of the box, it was easy to set up. Itunes was a little slow to install but I think that it's just my anti-virus software that is holding things up. Very annoying! Setting up an itunes account was easy and synchonizing my ipod was a sinch. The touch screen is very sleek and responds gently to your touch. Going through all the programs that are pre-loaded is easy. As I said before, the picture quality is amazing. Wi-Fi is a very nice inclusion and the ability to check your email is fantastic. My wife and I love to eat at Panera Bread which has Wi-Fi. The only minus is that the metal underneath the nice screen easily can be covered with fingerprints. This might drive some people crazy, as for me, I just grunt or shrug my shoulders. The box does come with a cloth so; no problem! It is true that the Ipod touch is the most expensive out of all MP3 players but it's very sleek, easy to handle, easy to download songs on, and for anyone who likes to surf the internet or check their email; this is an outstanding product. I have a lot of cd's and time and time again they get scratched and repeat or don't play at all. It's time for me to put my cd's on my Ipod ( I did a few; it's easy!). I also bought this in preperation for my new car that has Microsoft Sync with an MP3 player jack. Enjoy!

   I purchased this product late April, and i just updated it for the 2.0 iphone software update, and its just great... you can play now great games and has a bunch of free applications available on the itunes store, amazon has a great deal on this ipod touch, because if you want to buy it on a retailer store, the price is 325.00 dlls with tax and the gas money for the car that you are driving, etc... Buy it in Amazon!!!

   I'm an old man and have resisted the ipod for some time now. I love my music loud and have been deprived of tons of my cd's and good stereo system for some time now. I purchased the ipod because we're moving soon and I'll have room to set up all kinds of LOUD stereo equipment. I can't wait. I've been loading the ipod furiously with cd's and buying i tunes of lots of stuff I've long wanted but never got around to buying. The sound quality is terrific, the music is cheap to purchase and the tons of accessories that are available make the ipod a must have, especially given the number of albums I can store on it. I got the 80 gig classic. The way I see it, I should have done this a long time ago. It's easy to use and super convenient. I'll most likely buy another one for my wife. This is too much fun ! Don't be an old fart, BUY THAT ipod DUDE !

   I LOVE my iPod, I haven't been anywhere without it. It's easy to use with an insane amount of memory. I had a lot of trouble with the touch pad on my old Zen Micro, I could never land on the item/song/whatever that I wanted, the iPod controls haven't failed me yet! Hurray for the lack of frustration!

   I bought an Ipod classic 6th generation 80GB and couldn't be happier with it. I listen to it all day at work and the battery last for quite awhile. I recomend buying a case for it Leather Case for iPod Touch 8GB/16GB Black + Wall Charger and Bose Earbud Headphones Bose TriPort In-Ear Headphones - Headphones ( ear-bud ) - black, the sound great and come with three different sizes, which comes in handy with my really small ears.

   Good purchase. Arrived on time quoted. 6th Generation IPod is better than the 5th (which I also have). Highly recommended. Only negative is the IPod occasionally freezes, and this is aggravating.

   I'm enjoying my IPod Shuffle. It's so small it's best if used in a holder of some sort (cordless headphones or wrist band).

2. Posted: Aug 1 2008

   Everytime I order from Amazon.com it is wonderful. I get my products on time and in excellent condition. I have been ordering for about 2 years now and would not change ever. Great job.

   I already own an 80GB video Ipod. I bought the shuffle to hold a few hours worth of music and to be extremely light and portable. It does all of that, along with excellent battery life. When I have this strapped on my shirt or pants when I working out, I can barely even tell it is there. I also use it when I am traveling on my motorcycle, I just clip it onto my tank bag and I can even use the controls with my gloves on. I did buy my own pair of headphones though.

   I bought mine over a year ago and the battery dosen't last as long as when I first got it. but it still works just fine. I got it because I liked the idea of taking your photos, videos, and entire music library around with you everywhere. It looked pretty nice right out of the box and only took 5 minutes to fully charge the first time. I was told that it would take 5 hours to upload all my stuff onto it through USB and if I wanted to upload quickly my computer would need "Fire Wire". That was a complete lie. I was able to upload 365 songs and 50 something photos, as well as 6 or 7 videos in less than 10 minutes using good old USB. I still have no uploading problems even now with 1100 songs. Don't bother with Fire Wire. I hate how it didn't come with a wall adapter. Instead of plugging it through the wall to charge you need to plug it into your computer. That is probably the stupidest way of charging something; it can damage the hard drive, it also wastes a ton of electricity (having your computer on), and you can't bring it on a long trip and expect to charge it unless you have a laptop computer. I realised this before hand and had to spend $10 on a proper adapter that should have come with the iPod in the first place. Video quality is great. Almost HI Definition(no lies). I don't bother watching movies on it because one movie basically drains the battery. It's good for music videos, TV shows and showing people your home videos though. The headphones they give you are prety bad. You have to crank the volume more than halfway to hear the bass and other lower sounds. Not only does this damage your ears, but it also annoys the people standing around you when they can hear your music. Buy some good Sony/Bose noise reduction headphones and you will hear the difference in sound quality and you won't have to turn the volume up to high. Trust me your ears will thank you. Aside form that, it is great for trips. I bought it just before I took a trip to Europe. It gave me stuff to do at night in the hotel rooms. If you connect it to some speakers you got instant party music wherever you go. Most people who don't have one, want one after seeing mine. It also has games that you can buy off of iTunes. It gives you three free ones that come on the iPod: Brick game, Solitair, Parachute. If you only occasinally play games, these are all you would ever need. My battery life is starting to get less and less now. It started out as 5 hours of video watching, and 20 hours of music and now it's more like 3 hours of video and a little less than 20 hours of music. However, most people find that their battery dosen't even last this long. A few tips on how to make your battery last longer: Don't skip to the next songs using the left and right buttons on the click wheel. Always select songs directly from the menu, it may take longer but it will help your battery in the long run. When watching videos or listening to music, keep it on the hold swith at the top of the iPod. If your Ipod freezes or simply won't turn on; hold down the menu button and middle button until it starts up again. If changing a battery becomes a problem, I will post an update when that time comes but for now, I really like this thing and I think everybody would be pleased with this model.
