Digital camera reviews of Apple iPod Photo 60 GB White M9586LL/A (4th Generation) OLD MODEL
Digital camera Review: Think Greedy
Summary: 1 Stars
I actually bought the 60 gig model and was happy witht he unit as an mp3 player it is good. Unfortunately there are a lot of good mp3 players out there now. I bought the photo for just that the ability to store and show off photos as well as use the device to import photos so I could continue to snap shots. THis is where the device really lacks even with the more arttractive price. Importing photos now requires apples(NOT Belekins) $30 camera adapter. You can copy photos to the device but you cannot view them until you hook them into a computer. The device comes with no slide show software at all not even I-photo. And don't think you can use the iphoto that came with your mac you will need to pay $80 for i-life to get a compatible version. Pc users have it a little better Adobe album will do the trick for only $50. If you have a mac that doesn't have usb 2.0 your tranfer speeds will be very slow as mac no longer supplies you with a firewire cable. YOu can buy one from mac for only $30 more. Another thing you might want to do is to show your photos on a television this will cost an aditional $30 for the apple avi cable. but wait theres more to buy for your pricey player the unit scratches very easily both front and back. so before touching it buy a case for it $10-20 more and you may be safe for a while. The headphones have a poor range and need to be replaced so plan on shelling out another $20-30 that should pretty much do it unless you wnat to do anything else. Apple always has an accessory for your ipod the problem is they are all pricey and the unit itself does not do much more than play music. The screen is small and although the scroll wheel is nice it can be overly sensitive when trying to use the buttons. I had it for 2-3 weeks and it is going back tommorrow and I am replacing it with an archos unit. It's a half inch wider and taller and costs a bit more but it has a larger screen, Plays video, Has a compact flash port, is a pvr,comes with software, has a larger hard drive, and comes with all the neccessary cables I need to make it do the amazing things it should. I am tired of apple touting itself as the next great thing the knight on the white horse. I tried to buy into it all I really did but after this purchase I am through. If you thought microsoft was bad think dirfferent and you'll find out where evil really lurks.Digital camera Review: This is a great deal
Summary: 5 Stars
When Apple first released this 60gb ipod it was $599. They came out w/ a newer model 60gb for $449 but they striped out about $70 in accessories (dock, some cables, etc) This deal is for the old $599 release marked to $399 - its a great bargain on a great ipod.
very happy w/ my purchase. This is the 2nd ipod i've bought, and both times amazon has had the best deal.
Digital camera Review: Too Expensive- Not enough Features!
Summary: 1 Stars
I've owned the ipod photo for a month now, and i realized that this unit is too expensive for its features. The only thing this Ipod can do is for viewing photos and listening to music. I am now looking onto the Archos Gmini 400, which has memory card reader, photo, video, music, and gameplay all in one for a little over half the price of this ipod. This Ipod Photo is way too expensive for the petty features. Get the Archos Gmini 400 instead.Digital camera Review: WOW!

I never owned an ipod before so can you imagine how thrilled I am to have all my music, photos, personal contacts, calendar, and even a sleep timer and alarm clock all in one! This thing is wonderful! I am using it with a Monster iCarPlay to transmit tunes to my car stereo and that works wonderfully as well. I woke up this morning to my own music playing on the iPod. Life with an ipod is grand!Digital camera Review: Wait for the next revision
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this item from my local dealer and was disappointed for 2 big reasons. #1 The device does not allow one to listen to music which flipping through photos. I thought this would be an obvious inclusion!! #2 There are no memory card slots to easily upload pictures from ones digital camera (most people that are travelling dont their pcs with them). Needless to say I returned the product and will be empty handed on the subway until Apple "fixes" these issues.
