Advantages: Small, Light, Design, Features, Easy To Use

Disadvantages: Not Cheap, Sometimes Freezes

I have had this iPod for quite a long time since soon after it came out and I must say it's excellent. It's not cheap at just over £100 on amazon.co.uk but it is very capable and small and lightweight as opposed to the larger and heavier iPod Touch. It still has many great features, is a pleasure to use and is well-worth buying.

The iPod is available in several colours such as silver, green, blue and pink. It has the classic scroll wheel on it, which is sensitive to touch and used to scroll the menus. This is on the lower half of the aluminium case. It's white and has the Menu button on top, rewind/forward buttons on the left and right and the play/pause button on the bottom. In the centre is a select button, which is the colour of your iPod.

The screen is small but really bright so the iPod can be used outside in bright light. The iPod has the capabilities to hold 2000 songs, hours of videos as well as photos and there are also built-in games and more. The iPod comes with the official Apple earphones, which are of reasonably good quality and are comfortable to wear.

It's very easy to use as you simply scroll with the scroll wheel and click to select. The iPod has a built in sensor for gravity so you can flip it on one side and view your music or albums in Cover Flow. You can also view videos on the smallest yet most detailed and quality screen. You can even buy special games for this iPod from the iTunes store.

Overall, it's an excellent little iPod and well-worth buying. It has many features and is a really handy gadget to have as you can listen to music on the go and even watch movies. The battery life is pretty good and you can re-charge it in a computer using a USB port and the adapter you are given with the iPod. You can even buy a kit to plug it into wall sockets and charge it through them. It's an excellent gadget and I'd recommend it over all the iPods if you want something small and lightweight too.
