anyone got one of these?

wanna buy a walkman but get jacked off swapping cds/tapes all the time. heard they are good value. whats the battery time like?
 
I've got a 15Gb iPod and I love it. Don't leave home without it.

I've currently got 1300 songs on it, and it's only one third full, which means I have about 10Gb space to use as a portable hard drive.

You don't read a lot?

Apple is consistently ranked number one in product quality and support by leading consumer groups...
Apple uses the best lithium ion battery technology available from leading battery manufacturers. This is the best, most cost effective battery technology available given the requirements of the device....

How is that a beat-up?

It's puncturing any number of unfounded rumours about the iPod, and says lots of nice things about Apple while it does it.

The only things on there that could be considered a beat-up are the questions, which they are answering from a pro-Apple perspective.
 
I should have been more verbose. I was in a hurry.

What I should have said is this:

iPod is a great product, no doubt - there are two issues that keep coming up, though.
One is the battery. Check out http://ipodbatteryfaq.com/ for more on that.
The other is the fact that it's quite expensive in comparison to similar products - but a BMW is expensive compared to a Toyota, too.
 
I've had a 20G iPod for a few weeks now (which I love), and what I've noticed is that initially the day to day battery life was pretty poor, but as you kept charging it, it improved dramatically.

As for the long-term battery life, well as it says on the 'batteryfaq' site an iPod battery is meant to last around 500-600 full charges (from dead battery to completely charged). If you only use it a 2-4 of hours a day, then it should give you at least 6-7 years of life.

Definitely worth it IMO.
 
Bear in mind that there is meant to be a new range of iPods coming out soon, they're meant to be smaller I think?

They're already out - they're called 'Minis' and they are smaller in size, as well as storage space and price. Kind of like a kiddie's iPod.
 
I would first look at competing HDD players, such as the iriver 120/140 20GB/40GB players. They have many more features than the ipods at a similar price, such as optical in/out, ogg V support, a lithium polymer battery etc. etc.

i wouldnt call the mini ones kids ones

h=though having said that i'd rather a large one

like a mini 10 gig is the same price as a large 40 gig




also you were saying you use it has a portable harddrive...

how do you get files on/off it.....thats including songs
 
Can't say too much about the Ipod, as I only briefly used one - and the only thing that I didn't like was that dial thing you've got to use to go up and down menus but you should have a look at the Nomad Zen NX Jukebox. I've got one of them and I'm very happy.

Yeh I got one of those too. Very happy with it. Bit bigger than an Ipod, but still a damn fine gadget!
 
I got one 20gig had it for about hrm id say 6-7mnths now and the battery has gotten slightly worse. However I think it's worth it because it is so incredably easy to transfer songs.
