once you go mac, you never go back
killer design, awsome sound, almost unlimited capacity, able to store everything from a dictionary to a full-length movie. worth every penny, doesn't go beserk on its first drop like most regular MP3 players, color, screen size, etc.

you could lose your hearing..
with teens listening to music at such volumes they are most likely to become deaf before age 60.

It scratches very easily.
The main con I hear from iPod owners is probably that it scratches easily. Once I saw the 4 GB iPod a guy had and it was so tragic. You could hardly see what color it was by all the scratches. Well, ok, maybe he dropped it one too many times, but still, it doesn't need to collide with concrete in order to become like a zebra.

The battery is really not powerful at all.
I can almost go crazy with great stuff but with the problem of battery. Why have 20,000 songs when all you'll be able to listen in one load is more like 500? Or be able to watch movies when all you're able to watch is two hours? By the time you end up on the last track it'll already be time to get new teeth. Anyhow, a lot of mp3s got this problem, so it wouldn't be fair to only judge the iPod for it. It's a universal power supply crisis.

Beautiful design.
There aren't many mp3 players that come close to iPod's design. They try with a lot of buttons, complicated interface and unnecessary features. What they don't understand is that something like iPod is much sleeker. The slim build, smooth metallic feeling, the touch wheel in the middle, white or exotic colors depending on the model- all these are reasons the design of the iPod works so much better.

You're stuck with iTunes
Even though like mentioned before, iTunes is a nice feature, it's not quite worth being stuck with every time you want to add some music into your player. I like the old fashion way when all you had to do was drag and drop the songs into the directories you'd like. Now everything must be done with a program, which to me seems totally unnecessary and annoying.

Space to store music and videos.
iPod was the first player to provide us with such large space as up to 80 GB, a space that will fit nearly 20000 songs or several movies! I'm not sure the majority got that amount of songs in their computer, although it's nice to have the ability to move stuff in the iPod without worrying.
|
Overrated sound quality.
I listened on an iPod several times and it always amazes me, in a negative sense. If you compare to other music players, like Sony's or Iriver's, it's not nearly close to the same sound-level. Granted, all music addicts have an iPod, but is it impossible that's because of all the buzz and the coolness in having one? We'll probably never find out.

The amount of accessories available for it.
NO player out there has the amount of bags, electronic devices, skins, upgrades or any other things you can add to your iPod. Even earplugs got a label assuring you they are compatible with the iPod, like there are earplugs that aren't. You can do almost anything you want with such small device thanks to the market of gadgets to fit it.
|
You can't copy from iPod to the computer.
You can copy music from the computer to the iPod, although not the other way around. This is one of the things that scream against buying an iPod. They want to control what you do with your music, I mean what's next? Implanted chips so the FBI knows where you listen to music? It doesn't matter if the music you want to copy is already owned by you, iPod's copyright fear is becoming as bad as Sony's.

The large screen.
Even though you won't enjoy the Godfather fully in the 2,5 inch screen, but I can assure you it's watchable. The sharp pixilated screen shows the videos in perfect quality. And then there are the pictures you can see in it. If you load your iPod with pictures you can see every little detail later on when it's time to brag to your friends.

iTunes is great to download music with.
iTunes is often not appreciated by people, but there are many who actually find it very easy and practical to just download music directly. Another nice feature is you can hear small samples of songs, so that you know what you're getting before paying, or simply are curious about a specific track. If you use it you'll see why so many like it.
