 Great, May 5, 2023
I got my 30 Gig iPod photo yesterday. I LOVE IT. Everyone at school today was jealous of because i have one. I had a 15 GB ipod before it was stolen, and this one is a little bit thicker and heaviver. But really, its so awesome i love it the album art and everything its great. The color screen is really good. get one

Thousands of Songs in Your Pocket! Does it get any better?, May 4, 2023
If you're like me, you see a new product like the iPod Photo and the techno-lust starts to kick in. The price of the new have-to-have gadget gives you pause, so you read online reviews and start to save your soda cans. Then the day comes. You shell out your hard-earned dollars, and you now have that cool gadget in your hands. Then after a few weeks or months, that had-to-have gadget sits on your desk collecting dust. All the fun was in the wanting, and the product never really lived up to the hype.
Well, let me be the first to tell you... This was not the case with the iPod Photo. I love this thing!
All Your Music - Everywhere You Go:
My entire CD collection fits on this thing with plenty of room to spare. Did I mention that this device is smaller than a deck of cards? No more lugging around a handful of CDs wishing that you remembered to grab that other CD on the way into work. Not to mention that with the iPod Photo I can grab the album art from somewhere like say ... Amazon.com, and it displays when I play a track from the CD. You can't do that with the standard iPods as far as I know. The battery life is great. After charging all night, I listen to music on my one hour commute into work, eight hours at work (some days), and then an hour on the way home again. Not even close to running out of power. The sound quality is great, and for headphone listening there's more than enough power to make your ears bleed ... this is a good thing in my opinion.
So if you've never owned an iPod before, what makes this thing so great?
Discover New Music:
The iTunes Store offers more than 1 million songs, some of which you may have never heard of for only 99 cents a song, and sometimes even for free. That's FREE as in Beer (and that's always a great thing).
Discover Podcasts:
What are podcast? Think of them as talk radio broadcasts that you can listen to whenever you want. There are podcasts on just about any topic you can think of: sports talk, political opinion, tech-geek news, movie and music reviews, and my favorite "The Dawn and Drew Show" (which defies definition ... think ADHD Seinfeld with an R rating).
Audio Books:
Listen to those books you've been meaning to read, but never have the time. One Minute Manager, Seven Habits, etc ...
Carry Your Contact List:
Now I've ditched my (dusty) PDA since my contact list was really the main reason I had to carry one. You can upload your entire contact list to your iPod, and phone numbers, email addresses, everything is right there with you.
Photos on your iPod:
Aside from the CD cover art, this is not a feature I've played with yet ... what can I say ... I have to sleep sometime.
My advice is buy the 60GB if you can afford it, but my 30GB is not even half full yet. Either way... Give in to your techno-lust and BUY ONE!

Befuddling, Apr 29, 2023
The iPod photo is without a qualm the most prevailing mp3 player on the bazaar. This apparatus is exceedingly astounding. Occasionally, I have thus had a intricate time figuring out how they essentially prepared such a device as grand as this. The sound quality is dazzling. The look is outstanding. The grip is exceptional. And if you're as near as rich as Nick Manos, the price is stupendous. Overall I bestow this item vast praise. Do yourself a favor and acquire one now!

only sign up if you think junk faxes are a "must have item", Apr 26, 2023
Don't make the same mistake I did! I signed up for one of those get-iPod-free "offers" that are continually being posted here.
Within one day, I received over 200 spam emails and 15 telemarketing calls. What a pain. I guess there really is something to the saying "you can't get something for nothing".
I hope everybody here will learn from my extremely bad experience and avoid these ridiculous pyramid schemes.
The 30Gb iPod Photo is a great gadget. It's too bad they're being used as bait by unethical people.

Undeniably great, MP3s and a photo album too., Apr 22, 2023
I must preface this review with a confession. I am *NOT* an Apple fan, but I'm slowing beginning to see the merit in many of the Apple products today. My first computer was an Apple //e, and then I just moved on...
...Twenty years later, I found myself looking for a birthday gift for The Wife. I decided to get her something she could use to store the hundreds of pictures we have taken of our son. I'm a believer of convergence, so I wanted to also put her music collection in the same device. I immediately looked at Archos, iRiver, and Creative for their solutions. Each one in turn was compared to the Apple iPod Photo. Each one fell short. Some had more storage but less battery life. Some had difficult UI issues, others had navigation that was less than intuitive. If the thing was for me, I'd have gone with the Archos for the storage size. But The Wife doesn't need to be confused or annoyed with UI choices and over-capability. Simple, direct, useful.
It doesn't hurt that the iPod is stylish, either. I ordered one, and the optional dock, and the Griffin iTrip. Took delivery quickly, opened up the well-designed packing, and was suprised at how small the iPod was. Also, Apple will engrave a few sentences for free if you order directly. Since this was a gift, that was the route I took.
Some things I didn't like? Price. The dock being made optional in this iteration of the iPod. The lack of a Firewire cable, or AV cables. Apple should be bundling these items with the iPod; breaking them out to soak customers will likely hurt them later.
If you accept the pricing and grab the optional items, you're in for a treat. It worked perfectly out of the box. Install the software, install the dock, dock the iPod. I had her songs transferred over in less than an hour, her photos of our boy in less than ten minutes. All 30 gigabytes were filled, too. Now she has Axe from Brazil, Depeche Mode, and Metallica to get her to work and back; and now she can show off all 600 pictures of The Boy wherever she goes.
And she can finally stop asking me where all the pictures of The Boy are, because they will always be synchronized to the iPod. And when she wants to hear her music, the iTrip will transmit on any free FM frequency to her car radio, or the kitchen radio, or wherever... and hopefully, she likes her birthday present.
