Advantages: Easy to use, enormous 120GB storage

Disadvantages: Silver finish not as posh as it could be. Minimalist user manual.

I bought myself and husband this iPod for our Christmas with some vouchers that we had, and it is our first venture into the world of MP3. Does anyone know what MP3 stands for anyway?!

So far, I have been delighted with it. For those of us who are really not too good with anything more complicated than a lightswitch, it's very user friendly. After I had discovered that you can spin the wheel around to navigate the menu (no joke - for three days I thought you could only select the top item) and that iTunes was actually quite a simple concept, me and t'ipod started to get on together quite well.

I've started the task of 'ripping' my CD collection on to the iPod - not as painful or labour intensive as it may sound. Takes a little while to get started (if you're thick like me) but once you're going, it's a really simple process.

I tried to put some photos onto it, but apparently these are in the wrong format (they're JPG) and I've not worked out what I'm doing wrong there yet. The user manual is fairly basic which is good on one hand, but a little irritating if you want to read up on something in a little more depth. You can get it online - I'm just lazy.

The iPod classic is much bigger than a lot of other MP3 players, but that's probably because it stores about 100 times more stuff than those do, which is fair enough really. I was a little disappointed that the 'silver' finish really is that - it reminds me of the legs on an Ikea table, rather than the swish bit of kit that it is. But hey, if that's the only thing wrong with it, who am I to complain?!

Summary: The original, and probably the best.
