  • There are so many good points, I use my ipod when i'm at the gym and it's just the right size to put on your arm when your doing your exercises, the sound quality is very good and so is the battery life.
  • Can't think of anything that is bad about it apart from could do with being just a little bit cheaper apart from that than there's nothing bad about it

  • Small...easy to use
  • holds about 0.6 of a GB less than it said on the packet and you don't get a charger with it, which means you have to wait until you go on itunes on your computer to charge it.

Fiona, Winchester, “love my music”

  • Fit's perfectly in your pocket/bag. Got a few games on to cure boredom. Can store about 2000 songs on it,,i found with the others 1000 songs was not enough! It is a tad expensive but it's worth it for the amount of music/video's/pictures it can hold. And of course the colour is great :)
  • Not sure if this is the i-pod or my car stereo but i've had it set up in my car and the sound quality is not as good as you'd get from a cd.

  • A bit fiddly if you have large hands.

  • It was very hard to set up and work the features...and the back scratches very easily...but thatz all, they're not really a problem, just not-so-good points about it.

  • It has an excellent memory - now I can fit my whole music collection onto one device! It looks cool too, and you can accessorise it. The sound quality is great.
  • It took me a while to get used to iTunes which is the only way you can put music and video onto the iPod. Also, you can only put music/video on that has been downloaded from iTunes or comes from your existing CD collection.
