I own a Creative Zen Jukebox 40 gig MP3 Player and swore I would never get an iPod. But, I won a $50.00 gift card to the Apple Store in a contest and, well, you know how that goes.
I searched around and saw the Apple iPod Nano Black (2 GB, MA099LL/A) MP3 Player and decided to get it. My other player is...

I had wanted an iPod for a long time but didn't really know that much about them. When I finally did a bit of research, I was just amazed at their capacity!
I purchased the 8 MB Nano. This item is so slim and tiny you can carry it anywhere. The sound is superb. I am still blown away by how much can fit into this tiny little wonder! Not only can you load music into it, but also photos, podcasts and contacts.
You can also purchase some speakers for it and use them in any room in your home. It's just fantastic.

I held out as long as I could. I was holding out buying an iPod, waiting for the long-awaited iPhone and saving my money. I wandered into apple.com, and looked through the Reburbished iPods, and found iPod Shuffles as cheap as $49 and current generation iPods for as cheap as $199. I thought maybe if I bought myself a cheap iPod for my birthday, I could maybe not just last until the iPhone comes out June 29, but also maybe even make it a little longer.
My Choice of iPod
My kids both have iPod Shuffles, and while those are great and useful, 250 songs songs may sound like a lot, but it's really... review »

I'm a lover of music. Anytime an artist that I'm interested in releases an album I'm one of the first to purchase it. Over the years I have collected hundreds of cd's. However, I have run into a serious problem, which is storage of my cd's. I have several cd cases and sun visor holder to store my cd's...after a while this gets old, heavy and bulky.
So I begin to research different digital media players. The ones that stood out the most were ipod and zune. The one I ultimately chose to purchase was an ipod. This has been the best purchase I've made in a couple or years. It stores...

I have lost track of the i-pods I have had. I had a first generation, and I am resisting getting an i-phone until AT&T either strengthens their service, or the phone becomes open and other carriers can service them.
Other than the battery issues (replacement not worth it) so have to buy another and then contribute to land fill issues. My only other complaint is that because I can carry all of my favorite songs, I do, and when I am listening to one song I am always looking for the next song.
At any rate, I love my i-pod(s).

The interface is easy to use, and the click wheel is easy to navigate with. One of the downsides is the earbuds are uncomfortable after an extended period of time (longer than half an hour, and my ears ache). Also, the iPod scratches very easily, so be sure to get a shield or case for it.
The capacity is big enough to hold a workout playlist, and even a playlist for a short... review »

I love the iPod. Always have. At home, we have five, including this one: the 4GB iPod nano black.
Before you leap, realize two things: (1) this iPod is extremely fragile compared to other iPods, particularly the tough-as-nails iPod mini (a drop of a couple of feet onto a linoleum floor took out the screen); and (2) the black version gets scratched very easily, and shows scratches far more than any white iPod I've owned (after a day and before dropping the damn thing, it already looked awful from scratching -- and it was treated with kid gloves).
Okay, if you can live with those caveats, and...
