Pros & Cons
Pros
Full version is a little bulkier but not by much more than already stated. Ipod is both pc and apple compatible. Comes in two different versions, the 512 megabyte and the 1 gigabyte.
Recharging time is a bit long. They are rechargeable similar to cell phones. Battery life is tolerable.
Apple's lossless compression works seamlessly with itunes and yields wonderful high quality rips. Music playback quality is great. It has a nice bassy tune which you can adjust using a preset equalizer.
The 60gb model has a 2 inch screen with colour display. Comes with a dock connector at the bottom. The 60gb hd is huge. For a 60gb gadget yes it is a bit heavy.
Cons
If your ipod fails after the warranty expires, apple's only service option is to send you a used (no guarantee it is even refurbished) replacement with a 90 day warranty. Never, never convert to aac.
One long playlist selection time less than 30 seconds. Ipod takes forever to update, which it starts doing as soon as you plug it into the usb. Every time i plug the ipod into my computer to try to put more music on it, i get a message that says the p... Read More
Highlights
Quality
Easy to use, and great results make this item a buy!
True to its promise it is a great music player and the itunes software is intuitive and makes it easy to create playlists.

The screen, for all intents and purposes, scratches the same as a mobile phone does.
Price
For the price i paid for this hell yeah this was a great purchase.
Yes it's a little expensive, but i use it daily and find it to be a first rate mp3 player.
Without the power adaptor, which costs an extra $30, you are limited to pc recharging only.
So the real price of this player is more like $490 after you get the required case.
Shipping
After sending it off to the factory, we received a message that the backlight was damaged.
Packaging/appearance
Box contains:- ipod photo 60, ac adapter and usb cable for charging/connect.
There is one ipod photo, which comes with a charging dock and case.
I bought a dell juke box, i loved it and still do, but found out that it couldn't do audible books (i have about 300 of them).
Competitiveness
The quality that you have is better than any vhs that amy company could make.
Most of our test mp3s were encoded at 320kbps and sounded far superior to similar iriver products.
You can't rip songs from other music programs like microsoft or musichmatch.
It's similar to what microsoft did on computers.
