Disappointed 
2008-07-22
I was not told about a fairly large dent against the earphone socket- the earphones still worked, but I would have liked to be aware of a dent in such an important place instead of being told that there were simply "dents."
Love it 
2008-07-17
I love my i-pod. I have had it for 2 years now and I still consider it one of the best purchases I have ever made. I work in landscaping and I also own two horses which means I spend a lot of time outside. I have subjected this i-pod to everything. From dropping it in water buckets to running it over with my truck and dropping it on pavement repeatedly (accidentally of course.)
It still works beautifully and I would not trade it for anything. It is very scratched but that is my own fault.
I would recommend this product to anyone who leads an active life style but doesn't like quiet.
Capable, but not great 2008-07-17
I have had this model (8 GB red) for about 10 months now. I should have learned my lesson from my last iPod, but I liked the size and bought it anyway. I definitely give it credit for size and look, however, the battery life is not as advertised. I have never had the life that they advertise and if anything it seems to be decreasing. It is a continual frustration I have had with apple products so beware. Nice design....average execution. In some ways the product seems to have cheapened over time. Switches are not quite as substantial, the screen seems to be very prone to damage and I am doing everything I can to keep it from scratching. Additionally, like many apple products, it is a sexy product but lacking in some features.
One bad Apple iPod 
2008-07-14
This was by far my worst purchase experience ever at Amazon. The supposedly "Factory Refurbished" iPod did not work properly, had scratches/nicks on the case and I highly doubt it came from Apple. The process of getting my money refunded was too long. Their "online live assistance" is a sham, it does not even work. It took threats to get any response from the Seller. They totally misrepresented the product. I bought a current generation refurbished iPod (that looks and works like new) directly from Apple for the same price. I will never purchase anything else from this Seller.
Green Nano 2nd Generation iPod 
2008-07-14
The product came very quickly and was in good condition. There were no scratches and the software functions correctly. The earbuds were damaged, however, giving the impression that the iPod was damaged. When the earbuds were replaced the product worked as it should.
ipod 8 gig 2008-07-09
This product has been Factory-Refurbished to perform as if it were new. It includes a 90-Day Warranty. Apple iPod nano - Like a before and after picture, this updated iPod nano sports a slimmer, more attractive, all-aluminum body; as well as a 1.5" LCD. But if you need brains with your beauty, then Apple has you covered there as well. You get a new, higher capacity battery that can playback up to 24 hours of music, or 5 hours of photo slideshows. The best part is, for about the same price of an older iPod nano, you're getting twice the capacity! Syncs seamlessly with iTunes Connector for Optional dock Stereo Minijack Hold Switch Charge Time - about 3 hours (1.5 hour fast charge to 80% capacity) Audio Support - AAC (16 to 320 Kbps) / Protected AAC (from iTunes Music Store) / MP3 (16 to 320 Kbps) / MP3 VBR / Audible (formats 2, 3, & 4) / Apple Lossless / WAV / AIFF Photo Support - JPEG / BMP / GIF / TIFF / PSD (Mac only) / PNG Sync & Charge via USB Cable Adjust audiobook playback speed Create multiple on-the-go playlists Shuffle songs or albums Repeat one or all 20 Equalizer settings Backlight Timer Display Contrast Alarm - On / Off / Silent Sleep Timer Date & Time Display time in menu bar Color - Silver Supports - Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4 or later, Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later, Mac OS X v10.3.4 or later Unit Dimensions - 3.5 x 1.6 x 0.26 Unit Weight - 1.41 ounces
Scroll wheel sucks 2008-06-20
You've all owned an ipod before, so there's not much to say here. It's the best and easiest to use MP3 player on the market. 5/5
One annoying flaw about it is how it just randomly resets from time to time. Takes about 20 seconds to start back up again. Whatever, just a minor glitch. I'll live with it.
My real issue with it, and the reason why I'm writing this review, is the scroll wheel, which is not very durable at all. After less than a year, the forward button stopped working altogether. So I mailed mine back to Apple (paying like a ridiculous $20 for shipping) and got a new one... except that the forward button on this ipod broke too, this time after 6 months. I've read other reviews that had scroll wheel issues, so I know it's not just me.
So I'll probably end up buying a new MP3 player. And yeah, it'll probably be another ipod, even though I'm now reluctant to do so. Call me a sucker, but itunes just blows every other file transfer software out of the water. Shows the current state of the MP3 market we have right now.
Good purchase. Good Seller 2008-06-14
Product delivered with no problems. Was happy with the quality of the product as it matched description. Recommend this seller to others.
They don't make 'em like they used to. 2008-06-10
In my opinion, this was the best iPod ever made. This was the last one made before the new viewing system, which I think is preferable to anyone who wants to use their iPod simply for a decent amount of music and nothing else. Excellent battery life, bright screen, the most ergonomic and sexy shape of any iPod, especially compared to the new Nano, I think, being all-black and long enough to be easily retrievable from a pocket. Honestly, it's all personal preference: Play with your friend's iPods and determine which you would like the best. I happen to prefer this.
