An Apple-made device that can play downloaded music. iPods cost around $250 in stores, but are remarkably easy to win online.
I don't have an iPod, but I have still managed to salvage some self-esteem.

Music player designed by Apple computers. Among such other innovations as G5 processor, iMac, PowerBook, Airport Express, and much much more. All hail Steve Jobs!!
Go Macs!

The worst piece of technology that is around today. I have used my cousin's iPod, just to look around, and I can say, personally, it really have some flaws. Here they are:
1. The scroll pad goes too fast. If you want to select a song, be prepared to wait for 5 minutes to attempt to select it, since it goes too fast.
2. The fact that there is so many. There is the 1 gig, 2 gig, 4 gig, 8 gig, 30 gig, and an 80 gig. Now, say before the 30 gig came out, you bought the 8 gig. Now you are stuck with that until you can fork up $250 just to buy it. Also, the 2 gigs are $150. I have an Icetech Keo, that has the same space,, and cost me only $100, and works just as well.
3. The iPod shuffle is really not innovative. It just makes going through music harder. You have no clue what song you are currently on, and the fact that it is smaller means it is harder to find when it is lost.
4. The 30 gig and the 80 gig are really clunky and bulky. If you attempt to fit it in your pocket, it will probably barely fit. Also, who needs 20,000 songs on an 80 gig? Or who has that many, as a matter of fact?
5. Apple makes it sound like it is the only mp3 player out there. But instead, they fail at that. My Icetech Keo can play music as well as play videos, view pictures, play games, listen to the radio, have a phone book, record and play back sounds, and view documents. What can an iPod do? Play music, play videos (which you have to dish out $250 for), and play pointless games, like what is this song, like you don't know any of the songs you put on it.
As you can see, I despise it, because Apple acts like it is the only one out there, but is really shitty.
Yea, I didn't buy an iPod. I bought an IceTech Keo at http://www.icetechusa.com/, and it works as fine, if not better than an iPod.

An overhyped and overpriced piece of shit music player made by Apple. Costs $250 for one that actually works good. iPods will eventually be made to store every piece of content on the iTunes Store. They often tend to break easy, resulting in immediate loss of coolness when you drop it.

A mp3 player that holds a lot of music. The problem here is that many poeple don't realise the alternative options out there. Many people usually say they feel cheap. OK. Just because it uses SOLID STATE MEMORY WHICH IS LIGHTER THAN ANY HARD DRIVE and uses plastic doesn't make it a piece of shit. Hey did you hear of these new fangled "buttons" that are touch sesitive like the iPod's wheel? Oh Lets not mention the fact that i could get a 2 gig zen or a 1 gig shuffle for the same price and the zen has a speaker!!! One more thing, Creative is THE BIGGEST name in computer sound.
Having to use iTunes is bs. LET ME USE MY FARKING WINAMP!
Heres one, the cord having a "special" end that only a trip to walmart can get me a new one, not one of those cords i have plenty of.
As for the higher up models $2-300, your right. A zen has less storage than the iPod. Yet I can hold more higher quality video because of DIVX and XVID compatability.
Never in my life have i ran into an aac file. Can your ipod play OGG/Vorbis?
If you need a calendar or notes or know the time constantly and can't ask someone "what time is it?", get a palm pilot.
Wow, you can play solitaire on your iPod when i can play the same dam thing on my CELL PHONE.
Battery life? i don't care because i owned and used a laptop with 2.5 hours of battery life. So anything above that is good.
Ease of use? Anyone with a brain can figure out how to use ANY mp3 player.
I like my music free and I watch video on a larger screen than 2.5 inches of uber suckage but for pictures, the screen is fine.
Others say that they need the 5 terabytes of ipod superfluocity for storage. BUY A F***ING EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE DUMB SH*T. Apple your high time was the 80's. Be like commodore and let go already.
p1: I can play solitaire and see the time while holding 500 songs that most of them I don't listen to on my ipod.
p2: You could do the same thing and more with a cell phone.
p1: an Iphone?
p2: More like a RAZR.

An MP3 player that was created by Apple computer company in which to hold up to 10,000 songs and possibley more in some time or future the reason 10,000 is simply because peoples song taste's change over time and so they created a device with that much space so that way you the consumer would not have to delete any songs off of it, personally I have 1,000 or so songs so...only 9,000 more to go till I hit the limit and have to delet some songs, my taste's tend to stay the same now =
**Friend** "Hey **another friend** you got a new iPod I hear...what do you have on it man?
**Another friend** "Oh you know the classics like the Ramones, Motley Crue, GNR, Black Sabbath, some Ozzy Osbourne and I even got myself some rap on there too"
**Friend** like who?
**Another friend** Oh I got Jay-Z, some of that Lil Jon' and a few other artists
**Friend** Cool
