Apple iPod 10 GB

Advantages Stores thousands of music tracks, Easy to use, looks cool
Disadvantages Expensive

...I wanted a personal music player that could hold vast amounts of tracks that I could carry around in a compact device. After researching different players, i.e., cd walkmans that can play Mp3 tracks off disk and portable Mp3 players, some of which could only stores as little as 30 tracks at a time. I eventually came across Apple’s iPod. An innovation in music technology if there ever was one. The first things that caught my eye when I saw the iPod was it’s size, which is little bigger than a cigarette box and the fact that with it’s LCD display, scroll wheel for browsing the menu and it’s shiny metal back. This thing looked a very sexy gadget indeed!

Advantages Pure genius!
Disadvantages Not a lot

...Come on, what bad things can you say about the iPod? It's awesome! Even with the 10GB version, you'll never listen to all the songs at once, because it can hold so many (2,500 to be exact) The style of the iPod is top marks. The excellent chrome finish on the back, with the translucent white front, along side the easy to use "wheel" and buttons, just looks brilliant! It's nothing like the cheap CD players we're all used to, and the plastic covers of mobile phones etc, this is a quality made product! Oh yeah, switch on the backlight at night, and the whole screen glows blue...sweet ;-) My mates were extremely impressed with it when I showed them, and the added extra of using it as a 10GB hot pluggable hard drive is a massive bonus. Not only does it play songs, you also have the ability to use it as an address book... Read review
