(More customer reviews)First I'll preface this review by saying that I have gone through several MP3 players and CD players, and I have no bias towards specific companies.Next I'll present you with a list of Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- very sexy and clean look.
- incredible sound quality, even mp3's almost sound CD quality, those little earbuds are incredible.
- good battery life, the 12 hours suggested by Apple is a little bit optimistic.I usually get about 11-ish hours after a full recharge and without the backlight on and at medium volume.
- very fast battery recharge.
- seamless and fast transfers, and although Apple says that it won't work with USB 1.0, it does work (albeit at a slower transfer rate).
- comes with everything you need
- the click wheel is very functional and I have yet to have any problems with it.
- very very slim and lite, I keep it in my pocket all day at school and don't notice it being there at all.
- very easy to conceal, watching a boring movie in Biology? Just pull out the 'pod and run the earbuds up the back of your shirt, it works very well actually ;). Yeah that's right Ms. Grotewiel, I don't watch your pathetic films, you dolt.
- easy to navigate menus.
- the games are a nice addition, but I never really play them.
- if you hold the menu button, the backlight will come on.This is an incredibly handy feature.
- if you order online from apple.com you can have 2 lines of text with 27 characters each laser engraved on the back, as well for a limited time their is free/one day shipping.
Cons:
- it scratches pretty easily (I personally don't have a problem with it, but some perfectionists might).
- yes it does have a high price.
- although the internal batteries only last 18 months, you can buy a warrantee from Best Buy and just say that the batteries are not functioning correctly, and they'll give you a new one.As well Apple is in the middle of a lawsuit for it, so you can count on a refund from them pretty soon if your batteries are worn out.
- as the saying goes 'white earbuds = mug me'.I've never heard any stories about having an iPod stolen, but I'm sure they're fairly desirable.
- iTunes is a little bit clumsy, but you don't have to use it to listen to music on your computer, I just use it to transfer music to my iPod.Also you can download a free plug-in for Winamp 5.0 (also free, and a better music playing program) that allows winamp to sync with your iPod.I have yet to use the plug-in for winamp, but I've heard positive things about it.So when it comes down to it, the Pros far outweigh the Cons(some of the cons aren't cons at all!). Sure it is fairly pricey, but almost all 20gb mp3 players are around this price range, and the extra money is worth all of the advantages.If you're considering buying an iPod Mini, I would recommend the 20gb fourth generation over it any day.16 more gigabytes for only $50 more is definitely worth it (and the 20gb is a better shape and isn't a lame metallic color).In conclusion, I strongly urge anybody in the market for a good mp3 player to buy a 20gb iPod, you WILL be pleased.
