Love it!

I got this a a Xmas gift and I absolutely love it! Can't go wrong.
NEVER BETTER!!! 2007-06-27
I got the U2 5.5 generation Ipod and I've been enjoying it ever since. I've gone through 4 ipods (all great) but none quite like this. It has a unique touch to it and a nice big, bright screen. I have never liked an ipod this much. Works great too!
It is a fingerprint magnet, however. Get a case. I recommend a metal or Aluminum one between $15 and $20.
still great after a year! 2007-06-20
i got this for myself about a year ago, and it still works like new. never locked up on me and its very easy to use. i had a nano before this and sometimes the artwork would transfer incorrectly and it locked up pretty often.
First Time MP3 Owner Friendly.. Best Gift I Ever Got! 2007-04-30
I have been wanting this ipod forever now it seems. I am a big U2 fan and I love this special edition mp3 player. I never had an ipod before and it's so user friendly. It's easy to download songs, make playlists and the video is awesome. Love this product! If you're bored on the treadmill, ipods are a blessing!

great! 2008-05-29
It's an Ipod, what else can be said? It's great! And greater, to have the signatures of the four U2 band members.

Nice Music Player 2007-08-23
Who doesn't like iPod's? I got this one to replace a 4G ipod that was giving me problems. And U2 is one of my fav bands, so why not getting it. Isn't that expensive as it was a couple of years ago and I already use iTunes for my music, so its all fine. Also really good to carry files as an external hard drive. Excellent for traveling or when in the bus. A must have I would say.
What an aggravating little machine this is! iFlop is more like it

OK first of all, I've always had high regards for Apple products because they are artsy and functional. I purchased the 60GB and a very expensive Vaja case for it. I was so proud of my new ipod.
Little did I know that I am just a pawn in Apple's plot to take over the world by controling the entertainment industry.
FIRST of all, the reason I bought this was for video. Then to find out what a pain it is to convert a DVD over. I have to run Decrypter and then Videora. This takes forever. (To be fair you have to do the same for all the other players.) (And it is easier to convert tv shows from my ReplayTV DVR since no Decryptor is needed.) BUT why do I have to convert to begin with. Why couldn't they have made it more automatic? I actually bought a video from itunes just to make sure the dang thing worked to begin with.
SECOND, I purchased a new computer and had to go through 12 pages of instructional garbage that I printed from the Apple website to get my files over to the new computer. CREATIVE which is superior to Apple ipod in EVERY WAY!, does this like one would expect, plug the Creative unit into the new computer and it's done. This is all part of Apple attempting to control how and what I listen to AND mostly control my library. Under itunes, you can register up to 5 computers. How dare Apple restrict how many computers I'm allowed to use with my ipod. If I want to plug my ipod into another computer to get a file, then I should be able to do it plain and simple without the Apple police out to shut me down every time. Just more fuel for the fire in my opinion.
THIRD and by far my bigest complaint. WHERE IS THE CUSTOM EQ SETTING? Dear Apple I hope you are reading this, please let me select my own eq settings. All yours are terrible. The 1K frequency range is set too high so my music distorts easly. Too many years have passed by to justify your lack of this option. OH AND BY THE WAY, CREATIVE HAS A CUSTOM EQ SETTING!
I know what you citizens are thinking, how can Apple NOT have this feature. Does this reviewer know what he is talking about? Well for those of you who doubt me, go to http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61567
So what does this all mean? As a matter of fact, right now I'm listening to mp3 music on my headphones at work as I type this. At the end of my headphone cord is not my ipod but my laptop computer. Plain and simply IT SOUNDS BETTER then my ipod ever did or ever will.
fenomenal 2007-07-25
Great ipod, good screen definition and colors,30 GB is plenty of space for me, I am using it for running, in the car, BBQing and travelling with out any problem. I am very happy with it.
