Apple iPod 3rd Generation White (30 GB) MP3 Player

The Bottom Line: Love owning the newest, coolest gadget? Apple iPod 30GB is great on just about all measures.

Review: Always the nerds, my husband decided that he wanted a 30GB Apple iPod for his birthday. I of course obliged as the device will certainly be of use to both of us in the future years. It has taken me a great deal of humility to admit that the iPod is...

The Bottom Line: Some tradeoffs had to be made in order to shrink its size, but all in all it's just as excellent a value as the original. It remains #1.

Review: Note: This epinion is for the WINDOWS version of the 30GB ipod. It is VERY similar to my 15GB epinion (I have owned both). All areas that differ are marked in bold. I will be deleting my old 15GB epinion shortly.

I am an owner of the...

The Bottom Line: The Apple iPod is a superb MP3 player, but that comes at a very cost... Too high.

Review: The other one of the popular iPods that is commonly purchased is the 30GB iPod. The 30GB model has obviously three times the capacity of the 10GB iPod which lets you store, much, much, much more songs! However, the difference between the 10GB model...

The Bottom Line: This is the best MP3 player that money can buy, hands down. Anyone who thinks otherwise is simply jealous that their product isn't as perfect as the iPod!

Review: A Little Background...
I loved my 20gb iPod. I had it running like a top for a few months but last week it started to skip songs on me. The scroll-wheel began to take more effort to scroll than it did when new. I take it back to Best Buy for...

The Bottom Line: A few things to keep in mind as an owner but overall a big big win for Apple and a great product!

Review: My first review!

Lets start this review out by stating this is not a comparison review of the older models, as this is my first iPod.

Opening the Package

The first thing you will notice is the great care that was taken...

The Bottom Line: If you can justify the cost, this little beast is the best MP3 player on the market. Makes a great, great, great Christmas present. *hint hint*

Review: I am a graphic designer, and I have lived in the world of Macintosh and Apple for a great many years. Back in the day, when Macs came in gray boxes and shipped with standard SCSI drives, they were faster, more stable, and generally better for...

The Bottom Line: Don't buy an iPod unless you can cope with the pitiful battery life or unless you just want to look cool.

Review: Ok, first things first, because I'm sure there are other people out there in a similar position to the one I was in a week ago, really wanting to buy an iPod but struggling to justify such an expensive purchase:

DON'T BUY IT AS A...

The Bottom Line: Before you buy, I would certainly get some guarantees from the store about being able to return it without an open box restocking fee.

Review: When the PC version of Ipod was introduced, I eyed it with quite a bit of skepticism. It just didn't seem possible that a Mac product could successful bridge the gap into the PC world; rather like species jumping the gene pool. Despite my doubts, I...

The Bottom Line: It's worth every penny my wife spent :) I couldn't believe the incredible customer service. Buy some sort of armor (see iPod Armor review) or cover for it though.

Review: Update: I got a couple of letters from Apple regarding the settlement of the class-action lawsuit brought against Apple. It seems like the batteries in the iPods are junk, which I discovered, only lasting a few hours instead of the 12 that was...

The Bottom Line: This is the MP3 player all the others measure up against (and fail). Excellent quality, excellent useability and superb design. It sounds rather good too!

Review: With the latest crop of MP3 players, and particularly the newer click-wheel generation of the iPod, it may seem odd to post a review of a now discontinued model. But 30Gb 3rd generation iPods are still available as refurbished units from some...
