I honestly dont know how i lived without my i-pod. Its as invaluable as my mobile phone! Im a huge music lover and have always had a personal music play, cassettes, then a walkman that skipped, then a normal mp3 player - but I now have the best of all - the ipod.

its not just about the apple branding and the sleek shape and style that makes my ipod so special. its easy to use format with touch wheel is rally user friendly, whereas buttons on my previous laptops have gotten stuck in the past, rendering my mp3 players useless or making an awful clicking sound.

You can sort all your music by artist, album, year, genre, absolutely anything so it is really easy to find exactly what you want with ease, and the large screen makes it easy to sift through your collection rather than skipping track to track through an album.

The other great feature is that you can also play videos and podcasts through the i pod as well. The screen is a tad small on this particular model for continuous viewing however on the larger ones the quality is great.

The ipod is a high standard product. The one and only minor drawback i do have is that you have to download itunes rather than getting a disk. This was no problem to me, however there are still some people without the internet out there!
