I received this long awaited ipod as a birthday gift and I am defiantly glad I got it. Although I'm glad I got it, I have to state some of the negative things about the ipod. For one, IT DOESN'T HAVE 16 GB!!!!!! When I first logged into itunes and connected the ipod it said the ipod had 15.05 GB, not a full 16. I then first thought the reason it didn't say it had 16 GB was because of the games and extra features on the ipod. But nope, I figured out that wasn't the case. I was able to figure this out by going to the bottom of my windows XP screen, clicked start, clicked my computer, right clicked on my ipod, clicked properties, and then it came up with the information saying that no space out of the 15 GB had been taken up. So that just proves that the ipod didn't say 16 GB when I logged into itunes because of the games, but because of the fact the ipod doesn't actually have 16 GB on it. I think that is false advertising and is a rip off.
Some other things I want to say about the ipod is that it CONSTANTLY crashes. Sometimes I will log onto any of the computers in my house and my computer won't see it. And then sometimes when It does see I try to eject it but it tells me that the ipod is currently being used when it really isn't. So then I have to disconnect the ipod without ejecting it, and that makes it so I have to reset it. Also, their was one time when I didn't turn off my ipod before connecting it to my computer, so then that caused it to crash. I don't think you should always have to shut your ipod off right before connecting it to the computer to charge.
Another thing to say is that the video quality isn't very good at times. The video type that the ipod uses to display videos is one of the Highest quality video types out there. So I think I should have a better resolution on my ipod. And lastly, the shuffle of songs isn't he greatest, It tends to pick a lot of the same songs over and over. I don't have any of my songs in my itunes library rated, so it isn't choosing higher rated songs over the lower rated songs. But I must say, the ipod does shuffle better than some mp3 players than I've had in the past.
Besides all the things that I had to rant about, it is a pretty cool ipod. Its cool how you flip the ipod and the cover flow will go what ever way the ipod is leaning. But as far as the whole thing as shaking the ipod and it will shuffle, that doesn't work too well. It always some how manages to do the littlest shake in my pocket and will change in the middle of the song, but yet when I intentionally shake it as intensely as I can, it doesn't shuffle the songs.
