 WTF July 26, 2008
This ipod sells for $249 brand new at sears why would you buy it here for $399?!?!?!?!?!?!?
3 Years and Counting -- No Problems November 24, 2007
I've owned my ipod Photo 30 GB for three years now, and the only problem I've really had has been with the original ear buds wearing out. I found OEM replacements on EBay for cheap: they're good enough for me right now.
I am glad I purchased a neoprene case to protect the fragile little whizzer from the get go. I have dropped it a few times, and the case saved its life.
A Good Product Worth Considering if in the MP3 Player Market November 7, 2006

Its true, the 4th generation 30 gig Apple Ipod is a very good product. Is it great? Well, maybe not. But its not that this 4G model does not have every thing that some body wants out of an MP3 player, including video, the ability to hold and show pictures (about 25,000 of them), music (7,500 songs) and a pretty good battery life when listening to music of at least 10-15 hours per charge. When writing a review of any Ipod I believe that you must mention Apple's Itunes software, which make is very easy to buy and download music to your Ipod, that is why it is the industry leader this in regard. Also, the body of the Ipod is very slim, the menu of the device is very easy to figure out even if you have never used one before. Within minutes of turning it on you will be able to understand how to download music, create play lists and arrange your music just the way that you want it. Whether you like the Apple Ipod or not as an electronic device you have to give Apple credit for the fact that it is very easy to use, all the way around.
So, what's wrong with the Ipod? Well, the fact that the battery life on this particular model is very limited when you are watching video on it, about two hours. Also, while the screen of the 4G Ipod is very crisp and clean, it is just hard to view. But then again, a small MP3 player like the Ipod is naturally going to have a small screen, there is really nothing you can do about that, it does though strain your eyes to view the screen for long periods of time. Also, the screen does scratch very, very, very easily. Any thing will do it and I think that it is real down side to this product, it should have made so that any body could be able to carry it in their pocket without worrying about whether the screen is going to scratch or not. That would resemble to me at least that it is a product that is made to last, instead of one that is made to last until next Ipod comes out so that maybe you have to buy another one. I would really recommend that you purchase a protective case for any Ipod that you buy because they all seem to scratch pretty easy.
Having been a fan of Apple products throughout the years I would say that this product is worth a four out of five. I wish that all Ipod came with a home docking station instead of just the USB cable to charge and download music. I think they sell those docks for 20 bucks, but they make them for only 5 in China and it would great if they included that in the package. The sound quality of the Ipod is very good, and it should be for a couple of hundred bucks but if Apple doesn't make some changes to the 6G Ipod which is probably due out right before Christmas 2006 I believe that other players could offer some resistance to Apple's market share. This includes adding wi-fi, maybe a built in satellite radio function, perhaps different colors for the Ipod, touch face design, maybe a wide screen, it has to be some thing to set the Ipod a part from every other MP3 player out there. All coupled with at least 20 hour battery life with music and 10 hour battery life with video, I think that is one thing that every body can agree on.

I bought a 30G iPod Photo a little over a year ago and was on my second replacement when just recently, outside the warranty (which of course goes from original purchase date, not replacement date), it's kaput again. Now if I have to pay $275 for Apple to fix or replace a three month old player! No way. THREE players on the blink, each after a few months - that isn't just bad luck.
That isn't even mentioning the difficulties with the iTunes software or if you change computers. I get a new PC and have to re-transfer 100s of CDs! How lame. That negates all the convenience of the large capacity (I wish other MP3 players had the storage space the iPods have).
I just can't justify spending more money to replace this limited, inferior POS again. So essentially over the last year I have spent about $1 a day to have a player and now I'm left with nothing. I will be buying a different player. I will spend far less than $275 and get something that will last more than three months, is compatible with the rest of the players in the world and is easy and convenient to load and use - obviously not an iPod! Unfortunately I can't transfer the music I spend hours and hours loading up (over and over). What a waste of money and time.
