Terrible Product

I first got a Shuffle a while back and was happy with it. After about 7 months, a connection came loose and the Ipod stopped playing in one ear. (And yes, it was the Ipod, not the headphones). Good thing was it was still within the 1 year warranty. This time I took it back and upgraded to an Ipod 30Gb video at the same time. Guess what, 1 year, 2 weeks later... same problem!!! The Ipod only played in one ear! The problem this time was Apple or Future Shop wouldn't exchange the Ipod since it was 'Out of Warranty'. I talked with Future Shop about options to get it fixed, and found out it would cost at least $80, if not more. There was no way I was paying over $80 to get a small connection problem fixed, so knowing a decent amount about electronics and being an engineer, I decided to try to fix it myself. Bad idea, because Ipods are built to never come apart, and in the process I ruined my screen (flooded).

The Ipods may have the features and the style, but whatever happened to just having a well built product that will last over a year? I highly suggest not buying into the trend, do some research and find a music player that is well designed, rather than just being prone to 'feature creep' and style.

Apple iPods better the rest!

Admit it, Apple iPods are better. They might not be better quality for the money, they may break heaps and may not have all the features that ZEN or what not have, but ask anyone out of the teenage population which is better/cooler and they will say Apple iPod. It's the orginal of it's style and it's plainly more popular. Even I will admit that I have fallen for the Apple iPod craze. Any other design that looks vaguely like the Apple iPod, is passed off as a cheap (as a figure of speach) imitation. As a teenager myself, I have seen countless amount of my peers complaining that their iPod has broken down or in some way failed... yet still they insist to go out and purchase another Apple iPod to replace it. Maybe the only other contenter in the teenage popularity race (of MP3) would be the iriver. But the ratio of my friends owning them to the Apple iPod is 4:1. So plain and simply, iPods are better!

Could Be Better!

Zen Vision M much better for what you pay! Better screen than Ipod and better Audio quality plus FM Radio and Voice Record!!

Great!

It's okay, I think a little over priced for what you get
