MP3 Players

Advantages: Reasonable hard-drive space,
Disadvantages: Battery runs low when using it for video.

The iPod video, despite being the title I would not recommend it if you plan to put films onto it. It's fine if all you want is to watch short videos. Of course you can put pictures onto it if you want, not that I bothered. Any serious music fan would fill it easily, but it is more than enough space if you are just going out or even if you are going on holiday it's fine. Great for podcasting. A skin is recommended as it does scratch quite easily. ... Read review

Advantages: Durability, versatility
Disadvantages: Not quite as "cute" as some of the newer types

As someone who appreciates functionality over style, the iPod 30 GB in white was just the thing I was looking for. It could be considered kind of... chunky by some, especially if you're looking for something small and cute as opposed to larger and more functional, but if you just need a place to store your music, then this iPod is the way to go. Music, video, podcasts, photos-- you name it, this iPod can hold it. The only downside? With only 30 GB ...
...longer movies, full TV shows, or more than about 4000 songs. As far as durability goes, this particular iPod is built like a small tank. I don't encourage dropping it repeatedly, but it's more than able to hold up to a few bumps and bruises. Unlike the newer iPod nanos, you don't have to worry about breaking it if you roll over in the night. Unfortunately, the slightly larger size makes it take up more space in your bag or backpack, but all in all ... Read review

Advantages: Clear pictures, robust sound, radio tuner
Disadvantages: Size, weight

I purchasd the Creative ZEN Sleek Photo 20 GB about a year ago and I must say I love it. One thing that a lot of people won't like about it is that it is much bigger and heavier than an IPOD but it doesn't bother me at all. It has great sound quality and the picture quality is great, too. It is also very durable. I have dropped it several times and it still works like the day I bought it. It has a radio tuner which is great for me since I like to ...
...need the radio tuner in order to be able to hear the audio on the shows I am watching. The software that it comes with to load the music onto the player is easy to use. I like that you can hook up the player and make playlists easily. Plus the music stays on your player whether it is on your computer anymore or not. The controls are easy to use as well. I had never used a device with touch sensitve controls, but the controls are easy to use and ... Read review

Advantages: great sound quality, easy of use,smart
Disadvantages: no digital displayer

I have used the Apple iPod shuffle 1 GB over two years so far it still was wonderful. Last week I sent it to my seven years old son, he knows computers better than me, can put his own music on to the player! The sound quality is great, and the ease of putting music on it is excellent. It has a long life-time of battery, can hold over 8 hours of music. Another it is easy to use, I like the fact that you just have to plug right into a UBS port, and ...
...MP3 player is so smart that it is quite easy to hide it away, in case you want to enjoy it while attending important ceremonies. The 1GB storage capacity was exactly enough to put all my favorites songs and play them over and over. You can also record your own messages to use it as the best way to help you remember things you may forget. I am really enjoying it. ... Read review

Advantages: Size
Disadvantages: Screen Size

I bought this for my husband for Christmas 2007. I liked the size and ease of recharge. I also liked the amount of memory. The screen is too small for me. It's priced well. While we were in Rome, Italy, we used it to watch some down loaded movies in our hotel room on our laptop. CNN and BBC were the only English stations on TV. My Husband contracted a very serious eye infection and was hospitalized in a Roman clinic. Few of the staff spoke English ...
...There was very little to distract from the pain especially at night. I brought the iPod to his room and it was the best thing to keep him distracted from the pain. Recharging was easy. We used an iPod USB power adapter along with the country plug adapter. We did not need another power transformer. The iPod USB power adapter was part of the package when I bought the iPod 80GB. ...
