Summary: major dissapointed
Review: whoa! whoa! whoa! Before you guys decide to buy that sleek ipod for christmas, please read what i have to say...i have bought two ipods in my time. the first generation (10G) was just out of this world. the problem was that it couldn't hold my 400+ cd collection. So, when my brother told me about the next generation ipod (win or mac), i was more than thrilled. i was so excited about the great news that i gave him the old 10G. the 20G (windows) was so impressive that i told EVERYONE to buy an ipod. believe it or not, i now need more memory because of my growing cd collection. i was eyeing the THIRD generation 40G (win/mac) until something happened to my second generation 20G unit. i have sent the unit for repairs several times already this past month. the problem is the batteries! i read from one of the letters that the lifespan is about 1.5 years. i bought my unit september of 2002. so, it seems to be true. i am located in the philippines which has no authorized repair shop to replace the batteries. the unit will have to be sent to singapore. to say the least, that REALLY SUCKS! i just bought my son a NOMAD 10G unit. the batteries can be retrieved. so, when those go bad, they can be EASILY replaced. SO, PLEASE DO MORE RESEARCH on the ipod's batteries before you do purchase the unit. i AGREE that it looks sleek, easy to use, wonderful sounds, etc. etc. but spending $500 on a unit that has a lifespan of only 1.5 years is NOT my idea of a great investment!!!!

Summary: Works great on XP
Review: Works great with iTunes under Windows XP. I initially
used it with MusicMatch, but grew frustrated at unrelated
MusicMatch bugs and crashes. iTunes is rock-solid. Changing
from MusicMatch to iTunes took just a few minutes.

Summary: junk
Review: Your better off with a Nomad. I tried 2 ipods and they will only synch with one PC. So if you want to transfer mp3 from pc to another forget this thing.
