If there's one thing Apple knows how to do, it's to create hype and not a quality product. This is the second iPod I have owned and this is also junk. Every six months or so, I have to have it repaired. The first time was under warranty, so that was no big deal. Afterward, I bought a 1-year extended warranty for $60 just to protect myself and good thing I did. This iPod broke down again twice during the extended warranty period. Now that the warranty has expired, the battery died and cost $60 to replace. Two weeks after replacing the battery, the whole unit won't start up. I tried connecting the iPod to the computer to troubleshoot, but it doesn't even connect.
Unfortunately, my kids have to have an iPod because their friends have one. So now I've bought them the next generation iPod which also has video. I won't be surprised if the new one breaks down as well. I've already told my kids this is the last iPod I am ever buying and they will have to get jobs (no pun intended) if they ever want another one.
Bottom line:
==> When the iPod is working, it's good.
==> If you must buy an iPod, budget for the extended warranty because you will surely need it.
==> Consider other items, like the Creative Labs "Zen" series. I have owned two different Zens, and I have not had any problems at all.
==> I will not buy any other Apple iPod. I'm hoping a competitor will come out with something similar to the iPhone.Get more detail about Apple iPod Photo 60 GB White M9586LL/A (4th Generation) OLD MODEL.
