Are I-Pods really that good?

Question

list some good or bad things about them

Answer 1

you have to pay for the songs, and the manufacturers can't/won't fix them if there is a problem.

Answer 2

iPods are great. The best feature of an iPod is....*drumroll please*.... music. It can store a great amount of music. Especially the videos. With an 80GB drive. Who knows when you will run out of space? The Nanos are also great for people who love compact items, and for people don't have mind not having a lot of music on them. You may also know that iPods can display photos. Which isn't really a main feature or anything, and it's not that great, but just having some picture of your new nephew or something it nice to have around. Plus the Video's screen is very bright and nice. There is also the video function. To most people the video function is not often used, or sometimes, not even used at all. That's because watching a long clip on a small screen isn't really entertaining. But having short clips on there to show your friends can be pretty useful.

There aren't many bad things about iPods that I could really think of. But one I don't like is the battery can die pretty fast. Especially if watching videos. Another thing about it, is that they are easily scratchable, so as soon as someone gets a new iPod I would suggest that they get a case for them. Which aren't pricey or hard to find at all.

I hope that reading this helped you make your decision of buying an iPod or not.

Answer 3

Pros:
They are well organized
Hold music and easily categorized the way you want
Shows the time
Has Alarm
Able to hook up to many other speakers for louder alarm
Many manufaucters make items for iPod like accessories
iTunes comes out with new system updates for iTunes and iPod deviced

Cons:
The cost of the iPods
The light weight makes you feel like you don't have anything in your pocket so if you drop it..
The money for a iPod
1 Year Warranty doesn't work because they usually last one year if you take casual care
They CAN get viruses from your computer which fires up the software
Games aren't that good on it

Answer 4

Good - awesome interface, sleek, light, compact, iTunes.
Bad - expensive, doesn't support avi or wma.

Other brands are heavier, but you get more storage for the price. The interface is not as easy to use. Microsoft Zune and Creative Zen are probably the next best. I like Zune's large screen and its support of Windows-based formats. Zen has a cool interface and good storage for the money.

iPods are not for everybody. Some people learn to like it or some people just buy it because everyone else has it. I don't like it because the iPods don't support very many audio and video formats, plus way overpriced. If you knew how much it cost to make one versus how much they sell it, you wouldn't want one either. Otherwise, everything else is cool in the iPod.

Answer 5

Music quality and portability are good.

Bad:
iPods are really bad about screwing up...the songs will go haywire, the menu will freak out, or it won't play altogether.

iTunes (which is necessary for an iPod) is an altogether problem-ridden program. Too many aggravating things to mention...iPods show up on the menu sometimes, sometimes they don't. Some songs work right, some don't.....

Answer 6

YES. I pods are awsome. you can download as many songs as you want to this little pocket thing. I think the max of songs you can have is 300. But I'm not sure.OK bye.

Answer 7

IPODS are great! Especially the nano
You don't have to buy batteries for it,it charges on the computer
You can carry it in your jeans almost anywhere
You can erase the songs
They don't break
They have games that you can play,a world clock,many things more
The sound is great and they make everyone that doesn't have one jealous!

Answer 8

IPOD Good:
-Stylish
-User Friendly
-Portable
-Holds A LOT OF SONGS and pictures
-If you get the red nano you'll be donating to help AIDS in Africa

IPOD Bad:
-Expensive
-Everyone has them

-Everyone has one

Answer 9

son ipods are the bum diggety. no need to ever buy a cd ever again, just download the specific songs you like for a buck a pop. and they are portable. you can use it in the car, on a run, anywhere. bad thing? if you forget to charge the battery it dies and takes a few hours to recharge

Answer 10

they are neat: cool design, easy to use, can watch videos, itunes is sweet too. but they're definetley not the best mp3 player out there. however, b/c everyone has already adapted to itunes, they don't buy other mp3 players since it is hard to switch songs.
if ur going to buy ur first mp3 player dont get an ipod.

Answer 11

well they are obiously good bc they are advertized everywhere. though some mp3player look better chances are that they have something wrong with them and will only last a year or so
