5 Stars Good product.
As a replacement for another iPod I’ve encountered this one, more cool, the battery has a long last (almost twice than previous generation), and despite of has a bigger capacity it is more ligth.
Please don’t let your iPod inside the car in a hot day… that was the way that mine get toasted…

3 Stars Good but…
This i-pod is much better than it’s predecessor however, the first one I ordered froze up after a week and it could not be restored. The great folks at Amazon though, exchanged it immediately. I received the new one in less than a week and have had no problems with it so far.
5 Stars Another five star review
This iPod replaces a Creative Zen Xtra 60 Gb MP3 player. The Zen started having cross-talk on all the tracks really bad, so I knew the hard drive was on the way out. Worse, I had recently synced the Zen, so all the files on my PC were corrupted as well. So, before I set up this iPod, I downloaded iTunes and did a thorough scrub of my PC-based audio files, and ended up tossing all of them. Fortunately I had a backup from about 3 months ago on my big USB drive, so I recaptured all the files and set up iTunes. The iPod took about an hour or so to sync with the approximately 3,500 files. No problems so far with any of them.
When my wife bought her iPod 5G, it came with a small slip-case and was in a relatively large box. The new 6G iPod Classif comes in a box about the size you get an order of checks in. In the box is the iPod, a sync cable, and the earbuds. Period. Not even any “special offers.”
I noticed that the sound quality wasn’t as good, but I was using the earbuds that came with the iPod. I got out the ones I was using with the Zen Xtra and the sound improved by a huge amount. I still think the Zen has better sound, but the iPod is acceptable, especially for the noisy aircraft environment where it will get the most use.
Two things I don’t particularly like about the iPod compared with the Zen Xtra. First is that I can’t play the iPod with it plugged in to a PC for charging. That was possible with the Zen, and I took advantage of it. Second is that the Zen Xtra had a removable, replaceable battery. I never ran out of power. What I will do with the iPod is to use my iGo auxilliary power pack with the iPod tip. That will get me through the longest airplane ride I am likely to be on.
1 Star Never buy anything from apple
My son worked for 3 months to buy this with his own money. When he got it, it wouldn’t work on our computer after 2 trips to the apple store their so called geniuses figured out that we were sold a used i pod and it had some water damage, but that isn’t covered under the 1 year warrenty, so he is stuck with a broken i pod that he never got to use. They are a huge company and they don’t care about the small people who are actually breaking their backs trying to find the money to buy their stuff. Plus we bought this from walmart and they wouldn’t take it back either even though it was used when we bought it.
