Customer Review: my second review!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
after checking my reviews status online, i noticed that many people did not find my review articulate. i am now here to redo it. i got this for my bday and am listening to it right now!! again you must expierence to the sound to understand the magnitude of it. SMALLLL!!!!! wow!!! i have a special case that is flexible yet easy to grip. not too bad but very expensive!! a little case for a nano is $20.00!!!!! man! and one thing i mst clear up, for all of u customers that think that it has everything you need you are DEAD WRONG!!!!! it DOES NOT come with a charger!!! you must purchase for aprox. $30.00! and itunes!! oh itunes!!! it is great and all but can be complex!!! my friend and i started @ 7:00 and got the first song @ 8:30!!! no we are not slow! there are no detailed instructions on getting music from your library to your actual ipod!! must figure out on your own!!!!! it is easy once you figure it out (as long as that takes) if you dont frustrate easily you will enjoy yourself!!! it is great when you get the songs that you like.worth the money!!! one other thing, you do need a member ship to download. lukily it is free. but you get a personal ipod page. a thing that is great for us kids is the prepaid cards. you need a membership but no credit card. i used one myself!!!! great buy!!!!!Customer Review: Unbelievably Small!!
Summary: 4 Stars
First of all i must say i was impressed when i opened the box and sow how small it was. Its about as thin as a NO.2 pencil and until you hold it in your hands its hard to explain how small its is. The click wheel is really cool and is easy to scroll through songs and such. It also comes with a couple of simple games than can keep you entertained for a small while. The color screen is also great. Displays album art very well and displays pictures well also. The iTunes software is really easy to use and organizes your music very well.
There were only a couple of things that kept me from giving it 5 stars. Fisrt of all the scratches and finger prints show up very well on the black version so id recomend getting some of those silicone cases and also protect the screen. I rarely take mine out of the one i got for it. Secondly the battery is exactly the best ive seen but its good enough for me. Third, the headphone jack is on the bottom, not exactly a big problem but i find it weird having it on the bottom.
In conclusion this is an awesome mp3 player you can take anywhere. Although 500 songs arent quite enough for me its still a great buy.
If you have a large music library i recomend getting the 4GB version which is only 50 bucks more, and ill probly do that after a while.
Customer Review: Another reason to love Apple
Summary: 1 Stars
Apple is like a a bad marriage. The husband beats the wife but the wife sticks around to take in the name of love. Thats what being an Ipod owner is. Take a product that is "popular amoung the masses" and make it one of the worst products ever to be manufactured, wrap it in white and silver and bam, commercial sussess! Why is it about this liitel Ipod that makes people spend their savings. Not only do ALL Ipods have terrible battery life, but now there are reports surfacing that the screens are some crap and that it fades or becomes almost to hard to read after like two weeks. It seems that one must handle this new Nano like a paper crane, when its supposed to be something that is easy to transport.
All in all the Nano proves that Apple is sacrificing workmanship in exchanges for trendiness. Its sad when Americans waste 200.00 for a product that will essentially do nothing but let them down. Apple shouldnt release such a defective product until it can come up with the technology to make it durable. The idea is there, but the workmanship isnt.
So if your one of those urban-wannabe-chic-metrosexual-look at me and my liitle Nano type of people, do your self a favor. Save your money and buy a Walkman cassette player.
Long live 8-Trac!
Customer Review: Huge Disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars
I got the iPod nano after agonizing over the $200 for a while, then decided to splurge. However, I was really disappointed. At first I had a very hard time installing the product on my PC, I had to upgrade my version of windows 2000 to sp3 before it would work. The CD that came with it did not work and I had to download the install from the web. Then I finally got it installed, and bought a few songs from iTunes and downloaded, but they would not play on the ipod. After a lot of frustration, I found out it was because you have to register it with Apple first. But after I registered it, the songs I downloaded still didn't work, they just skipped over to the next song. The battery does not last anywhere near 14 hours, I would say maybe 5-6 at the most before it needs charging. Then, I have to boot up my computer, plug it into the computer just to charge. what a pain! One day the diagnostics screen came up when I turned it on which is not supposeed to happen. The final straw was when the headphones started getting staticky, this is all within a month of buying it. I ended up returning it and will probably buy a samsung or sony model. Save your money and buy a cheaper mp3 that uses a regular AA battery. what a disappointment from Apple after all the hype about this product!Customer Review: I'm glad I slept on the iPod mini
Summary: 5 Stars
After being an ipod owner for the last two years, I was in the market for a second iPod. I slept on the iPod mini and I'm glad because now there's the iPod mini.
I love it. I was worried that it'd be a total drag to set up but it was perfectly compatible with all my previous iTunes stuff. I didn't have to even load the included CD all I did was downlaod the latest verisons of the iPod updater and I made sure that I had the latest upgrade of iTunes.
The nano works with all my previous cables for my 3rd generation iPod. So after I removed it from the package I plugged it in my previous iPod's AC adapter. The one draw back is the nano does not include an AC adapter but you can still charge it with the usb cable. I was able to get a full charge in about an hour with the AC adapter.
With that said, I highly reccomend this amazing mp3 player. It exceeded my expectations. The ease of use, the design, everything is wonderful. Now you may think...why spend money on an mp3 player that only holds 500 songs? Well, how many people do you know that have time to listen to 5000 songs everyday? I can manage my playlists. I control what's being fed into my iPod and I like that. This is a great 2nd iPod for current iPod owners and a treat to first time buyers.
