My second 160Gb, 4G iPod has now developed a fault.  This time with the clickwheel not working.

Utter rubbish....

Fool me once...

Maybe it was built in germany.  

My cheapo mp3 player from 7dayshop works perfectly

Ive had my iPod for like, half a year or something now and i use it everyday. Hasnt had a single fault

Well, ok - its the replacement one from A***e...  

my creative muvo (well dunnys) has took a real bashing, but still works perfectly, everyonce in a while it needs a format, thats it!

My sister bought the 60GB one yesturday. Does pictures, videos, solitaire...  I think it even plays music!  - my recommendation as she was after a Sony device! :shock:  (my actual advice was: anything thats not a sony )

it was a dud - wouldnt charge up. Returned it...replaced and this ones fine.. gave it a full charge without turning it on or using it, so the battery wont get f**ked!

not a good start for Apple in our household (first of their products!)

My parents are hooked on the idea of an iMac after I recommended not having an XP PC if they decided to replace, because they are just too prone to malware for people who dont know what they are doing

Who knows how good the iMac is - tbh, I find it a bit scary having the CPU and all that within the monitor, but the Mac Mini is horrendously noisy apparantly and I, myself have looked at the Macbook Pro and have been very scared by This Website

so Im going to hang-fire for 6 months or so

and even then Ill probably buy a cheap Acer and stick Ubuntu on it

my flatmate has one and I could barely hear it - it could vary i suppose

Mac Minis are normally very quiet.

Pah!!!! do what I do use local policy to completely lock down the computer. I did install firefox for my parents but they dont like it "its wierd". My dad isnt too bad, my mum panics whenever there is a fake advert/error message and my sister just clicks YES to everything.

Ive had an I-river for just over three years now and the thing is still going strong after much daily use. Im glad I plumped for it over the IPod now, its been dropped down the stairs, sat on, thrown across the room, dropped in the bath, mauled by the cat and abused by a four year old and it still sounds as good as the day I purchased it. Battery is holding up well too.

I like ipods. I just despise Itunes its the most god awful piece of software I have ever used.

On my second iPod (first one ended up too small a capacity) and, apart from the short battery life on the four year old 20gig (to be expected) I have never had a single problem.

And I like iTunes a whole lot.
