Apple iPod Photo 40GB
MSRP: $499

----- You've come a long way, baby! -----

I wasn't going to do it. There was no need. I have a perfectly useful 20GB 3rd Generation iPod that does what I need it to do. After hearing about the 'next big thing' from the lofty and gifted... Read full review »

Pros Portability, lots of cool features, storage capacity - 40 GB
Cons Only available in white, sound quality can be better, no video player
Recommended it? Yes

I've had my IPOD photo for about 2 weeks now and let me tell you, I am definitely hooked! My boyfriend bought me the IPOD photo as a Christmas gift and when it arrived it came in a package that makes you feel secure about the contents inside. Apple packaged the IPOD so that it would stay in place... Read full review »

Very cool gizmo for those on the go!

Pros Features galore! Great sound, great display, super status symbol
Cons Hard to keep clean, prone to scratching the case, expensive
Recommended it? Yes

I decided that I needed to have my MP3 collection portable. I was pretty torn until I saw that Apple was coming out with the iPod Photo. Being able to have all my music and all my photos with me was really the clincher for me.

The screen is about the size of a Gameboy Advance screen. The... Read full review »

Recommended it? Yes

This is my fifth MP3 players. Of the five, one is a flash memory based (Creative Nomad II), 2 are CD-based, and the other being Archos 20gb studio 20.

I didn't really wanted to buy iPod, but when buy.com had a real low priced sale ($339), I bit the bullet and bought one. After using this... Read full review »

Does the ability to view photos justify the price for you?

bypiggypue Mar 15, 2005
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros interface (click wheel!), style, quality, reliability
Cons price, features, headphones, stratches easily
Recommended it? Yes

When it comes to purchasing technology, I am anal. I obsessed for months over what mp3 player I should buy and it took me forever to justify Apple's ipod. I settled on the ipod because of the click wheel, itunes and just the overall sexiness of the device. Although ipods are cliche and overexposed... Read full review »

iPod Photo: WARNING! NOT WHAT YOU MAY EXPECT!

byepitestuser Feb 18, 2005
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros All the pros of the regular iPod. Color screen.
Cons Can ONLY see photos loaded from a computer running iTunes or iPhoto (iLife).
Recommended it? Yes

So I will be the one who explains the truth about the wondrous iPod Photo since it seems everyone is only interested in writing about how enthralled they are with it (minus its exceeding price tag and its vulnerability to scratches.) To start I will share the one (seemingly reasonable) scenario... Read full review »

I may never use my CD player again.

Pros Superb sound quality. Well designed -- easy and fun to use.
Cons Surface picks up small scratches.
Recommended it? Yes

I've always thought the iPod would be a cool thing to have, but I resisted. After all, I didn't really need one -- my pocket sized Firewire hard drive works great for computer backups, and … well, I don't really listen to music that much anymore. I'll wait until the things get cheaper … or... Read full review »

Pros color screen, sound, battery life, PHOTOS MAN!!!
Cons sometimes the pad starts to just blank out.
Recommended it? Yes

The Apple iPod Photo 40 GB MP3 Player is the most pleasent system I have had for music yet. It has a beautiful color screen, a nice charging/battery life span system. The iPod Photo has a back light, which helps a lot, and has the option of how long you want it to stay on for, as long as having it... Read full review »

Pros Fantastic Interface, great look.
Cons Fancy looks and price for a simple music player
Recommended it? Yes

Honestly, if you want to get a comparable machine for a better price, you can probably do it. To be frank, I would not have purchased this, given the price and multitude of other mp3 players on the market. However, I managed to get mine for free through a referral site (yes, really)
