30GB Ipod?

[jovi]

Hi, I have ordered a 30GB Ipod from Apple for my 14 yr old son for xmas, anyone got one or have any good/bad points to say[:I]
Thanks.

Don't have a 30GB Ipod but both my daughters have Ipod Mini's and they love them. They only seem to stop using them when they are either at School or asleep. I think most things that come from or made by Apple are of the highest quality. I,m sure your son will be over the moon. By the way are you having his name engraved on the back as this is a free service offered by Apple.

Just got in from work and it has been delivered. He has had his name on the back, it is the only thing he has asked for for christmas, I am sure he will love it, he has an mp3 256mb at mo and always wearing it, I think he'll be able to download a few more songs on this new one Don't you think.

Vicky great move just got my 16 y/o one for Xmas too, she already has an original iPod but thought she would appreciate the new video version, much better value for money than the ipod nano too[msnwink]

Thanks Mac, thought you would know, if you buy one then I know it's good[msnwink][clap]

Good points :
They now play video
Have longer battery life (20 hours of music play)
Have a bigger screen
Sound is improved over previous iPods
New functions (world clocks, screen lock with PIN, stopwatch)

Bad points:
Video plays for only 3.5 hours before needing a recharge although that is more than enough 'on the go' for me

Already put the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Star Wars (original) trilogy, The Office series 1, Toy Story and my 1400+ songs on it and still have 41Gb left out of the 60Gb...[msnsmile2]

I am sure whoever gets one for X-mas will be made up. the new one is much better value for money than the old.

There is a good review of the new iPods on page 28 of Novembers MacUser magazine[msnwink]

Just a quick aside but do you know when the new Trafford Center Apple Store opens Julie?
