Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions
Product Description
The super-slim iPod redefines what a digital music player should be. It's lighter than 2 CDs, can hold thousands of songs, and downloads music at blazing speeds. Now you can take your entire music collection with you wherever you go.Smaller than ever, the new iPod fits comfortably in the palm of your hand and slips easily into your pocket - and your life. And yet the iPod gives you a huge hard drive. Do the math: that's space enough to store three weeks of music - played continuously, 24/7 - or one new song a day for the next 20 years.Once again, Apple turns the portable digital music player market on its ear with hassle-free functionality and stunning, well-considered design that place iPod far ahead of the curve and the competition. Building on the success of the touch wheel (which made scrolling through an entire music collection quick and easy), the new iPod has been re-engineered with an all-touch interface for enhanced durability and sensitivity. With an LCD screen and buttons that feature a backlight for clear visibility in low-light conditions, iPod is designed for easy one-handed operation. So the best way to take an entire music collection anywhere is now even better.Designed to give you the best portable digital music experience ever, the iPod delivers the highest sound quality from input to output. iPod supports the most popular audio formats - including MP3, MP3 Variable Bit Rate (VBR) and WAV - giving you access to a wide range of audio file types. And iPod is the only portable digital music player that supports the AAC format (Mac-only), which features CD-quality audio in smaller file sizes than MP3, so that even more songs fit on your iPod.

Very expensive paperweight - Reviewed on 2005-11-03
3 customers found this review helpful, 10 did not.
Well I bought my 10 gb iPod July 6 2003, but have been pretty busy so not until October 2005 did I take it out and try it. And found I can't do anything with it. I have a Compaq PC running Windows ME. The iPod User's Guide says it runs on ME. So I charged it up, installed the iPod software, plugged in the iPod to the PC via the extra Dock Connector to USB 2.0 cable, Windows said Installing for new USB storage device, got a brief window saying it was recognized as an Apple iPod, got a display on the iPod saying "Do not disconnect", got the window from iPod installation software saying "Configuring iPod", and then get nothing but a repeated window saying "Please plug in your new iPod so it can be reconfigured". And that's all folks.
So it did kill about 16 hours of time time trying various things (each time restoring my PC back to the point it was before it first saw the iPod), which is a different experience for me. It's good to do different things once in a while.
And I can look on the bright side. Although it's too small for a doorstop, it does make a stylish paperweight. And someday in the next few years I'll probably get a new computer and I can try all over again.
