Pretty sweet, occasional issues though August 30, 2008
I really like this, but occasionally I have software errors. I have had to manually reset it before. Also, the cover art is slow to appear at times and the "cover flow" feature is pretty slow to update as you toggle through your selection. Other than that it's pretty legit.
Ipod August 30, 2008
I am a bit disappointed with the resposiveness of the ipod when playing the games especially Vortex.Otherwise I am satisfied with my new ipod.
A couple of steps forward, and a couple of steps back August 30, 2008
There are a number of in depth reviews detailing the problems and improvements of this iPod over its predecessors, so I will be relatively brief. I previously owned a 4th generation iPod, and bought this model after my prior version was involved in aquatic accident. Before that, I owned a Creative Labs Zen Xtra (an excellent digital music player).
Overall, I'm fairly happy with the device. The sound quality is decent, and the battery life is a big improvement over my last iPod. The ability to download pictures and videos onto the device is also a nice touch, although the screen is small enough that this is more of a novelty than anything else (I get a headache watching anything longer than 20 minutes). The screen is very bright and is still somewhat readable even in direct sunlight.
There are two major downsides. First, the click wheel is not nearly as responsive as the one on prior versions. Scrolling through artist or album lists is a chore. The software allows you to skip down the list alphabetically (jumping directly from A to B to C) if you scroll down fast enough, but this feature seems to activate randomly. Sometimes I have to scroll for 15 seconds to get to the T's, and sometimes this feature will activate and almost instantly take me to the end of my artist listing as I quickly scroll through the alphabet without realizing what has happened.
The second downside is the unresponsiveness of the software. It can take up to five seconds for an album cover or covers to load after selecting an artist or a song. During that time, the iPod controls will not respond. This can be frustrating when you are trying to quickly select a particular album or track, and downright annoying if you are trying to adjust the volume after selecting a particularly loud song. Other reviews indicate that this can be ameliorated by disabling the "view album artwork" feature, but this would take away some of the visual appeal of the device.
Despite these problems, I am pleased with the device overall. The screen has held up very well despite the rigors of daily subway travel, the sound quality is acceptable, and I usually only have to recharge the iPod once every week or two. I would definitely consider another iPod if anything happens to this one.

I have owed several different portable players and in my view the iPod is simply the best, certainly the most reliable and simple to use. It also best selection of downloads and accessories.

This new version (generation) of ipod is very nice (smaller than the original, improvements to the interface, and very reliable).
