 The good, the bad, and the ugly, Apr 30, 2023
Apple iPod Photo: GOOD.
Falling for an obviously fake marketing ploy: BAD.
All the unwanted email, faxes, and telemarketing calls you'll get after signing up: UGLY!

get unwanted marketing "at no cost here", Apr 28, 2023
Warning: attempting to get an iPod through a "no cost offer" is hazardous to your email inbox!
Think about it for a moment: how can somebody give away a $300+ item? It's obvious that it's impossible.
Anybody familiar with marketing bounties knows that companies like AOL only pay, at most, a few dollars for a new customer. Can you guess how the "free" people make up the difference?
Answer: flooding you with junk email, telemarketing calls, and junk faxes.
I love my 40Gb iPod Photo. Apple, as usual, has designed a great product. Too bad a bunch of bad apples-pun intended-are using iPods as bait.

Great item, Good deal, Apr 21, 2023
I bought this for $10 more than the new 30gig model, and I'm pleased to say I got my money's worth. It comes with photo dock, firewire cable, and av cable, which are worth more than $10, not to mention the extra 10 gigs(keep in mind these accesories dont come with the the new 30 or 60 gig versions. I broke my old 20gig ipod by dropping it from two feet, i recomend you buy an iskin because the case that comes with this ipod offers zero protection as i found. Despite what other reviews say you do NOT need any other software with this package, you can add photos and album art if you know how to use itunes. The color screen is very nice with good resolution. My only problem with the ipod photo is that it's like a cell phone screen which means you have to be in a well lit place in order to read the screen without the backlight, which wastes battery. The battery really does last longer on these models than on regular ipods. Great product, Good deal.

 the ipod, Apr 15, 2023
The Apple Ipod photo is something that after you use it for a time it becomes something that you cannot leave the house with. As a person who spends about 8 hrs a day with the stereo on this is something that is used a lot during the day, and needs to be of high quality. This product is that high quality needed. The Ipod is something that you can use almost anywhere, the car, the home, and at work.
Currently my Ipod has taken over my CD collection in my car. The pure convenience of having over 5000 songs with me in the car is something that after having the Ipod I could not go back to CD's. Currently I have the Ipod ran in with a Line In cord into the back of my stereo for people who have a line on your stereo this is the way to go. The FM transmitters are something that works, but not well and any audiophile will frown upon. If this is the route your looking into the best way to run this is the 1/8'' to composite cable with the SIK line out adapter. The SIK plugs into the Ipod and then the SIK's 1/8'' runs into the stereo. This provides the best quality connection to the car.
At my house my Ipod has become my new CD changer. Again having over 5000 songs on one stereo component is something that becomes so convenient, you can't go back. The Dock that came with the Ipod is something that is very convenient and provides a great place to place the Ipod to avoid scratches. The dock provides a Line out port so it is easy to hook up to a stereo and provides a great sound quality. Also the dock can be used on the computer to sync the Ipod with your Itunes music library or used just as a charging base.
At work my Ipod is just hooked up to a pair of computer speakers. With all my music right there next to my computer typing all those boring reports and fixing computers (I'm a computer tech. at a hospital) goes a little bit faster. Also sharing music at work becomes a little easier because of the Ipod's easy interface anyone can figure out how to play a song.
Overall the Apple Ipod is a great product that can be used anywhere. Though pricy the quality really makes it worth it. I've had other MP3 players and none of them just feel as good as this one does in the hand. Ipod is a great tool for anyone who loves music or someone just looking for a good way to carry a few tunes around with them.

Pros and Cons, Apr 11, 2023
Pros:
If you buy the 40 gig right now, you get an AV Cable, a dock and some other stuff that don't come with the new 30 gig or 60 gig, so for just a few bucks more than the 30 gig, you get a bunch of extra pricey stuff.
Great looking screen, easy interface, easy to download and arrange songs.
Cons:
Can't figure out how to get/display album art for the CD's I've been ripping to my ipod. I've got a ton of discs I wanted to consolodate and put away. I'm disappointed that the album art is apparently not displayable.
Software didn't come with necessary version if iphoto, Apple's website helpfully (?) suggests I buy iLife '05, (which is also rather pricey.) I've managed to buy a copy of iLife '04, which I hope will solve my problem, but why not give me all the software I need to run the device as designed?
I'm going to like my iPod, but no one ever likes a "bait and switch."
Addendum:
OK, so I figured out how to get the album art on my iPod, but why doesn't cddb automatically download it? I have to search for it myself on Google and drag and drop it to iTunes. Dumb.
