Long Term Ipod user I bought my ipod in October 2004 and I can say that it has been a pleasure to own. I have used it nearly every day since the day I bought it and even now my battery last more than eight hours before requiring a recharge. All I can go in is my own experience and I would definitely recommend buying it.
Spent a fortune, got a mega let down I saved hard to be able to buy my son his greatest, desired wish on which to store his beloved music - Apple iPod 20GB.

We were told yesterday in the Apple Store, Bath that it would cost £200 at least to mend, so much for their high profile boast of recyling their goods!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LISTEN UP PEOPLE! Is THIS progress? NO longevity or reliability if used every day. £10 a month is NOT good value. I used my ipod nearly every day for 18 months and it's given up the ghost once and for all, as the hard disk doesn't work anymore. How apple can charge such a high price for a product that is so unreliable, and has only a limited life before needing work on the hard disk or battery is beyond me. The question i ask myself is: is it worth paying apple £10 a month (based on a £180 product only lasting 18 months), just to have my music all on one player? Well, i'm really not sure. If the product was... more info
Thought it was fabulous... at first I bought my ipod last year before travelling to Oz and New Zealand and it was great for those long flights ( battery lasting - just - the 12 hour flights).I loved the way it was easy to download linking up with itunes. Great..... until I came back and used it at home to accompany me jogging. Then it started to play up - stopping mid flow ( regularly) even though the button lock was on. Having difficulty getting the wheel click to register my selections - or whizzing past. Then it decided to stop completely... more info
