Awesome..........2007-11-24
I've been an iPod user since I bought a 5gb way back in '02, and they just keep getting better! I have owned a 60GB white 5th gen iPod for several months now, and I'm very very pleased with it. I use it for upwards of three hours a day, since I not only have all my music on it, but lots of TV shows, podcasts and audibooks. I also recently bought the AV connection kit, and use that to watch my TV shows from the iPod on my TV
Things I like about it:
* Easy to use and look good
* Excellent sound quality if you encode your music at a high bitrate and use a decent set of headphones
* Plays TV programs on my TV with surprisingly good quality
* iTunes is awesome - probably my prime reason for sticking with the iPod
* Podcast support is wonderful - I look forward to new episodes every time I use the iPod (I'm a Scott Sigler junkie too)
Things I don't like so much:
* Poor battery life if using the backlight
* 60GB ain't enough for me now, but that's not the iPods fault..
A Great Product.......2007-08-02
I'm checking out some of the reviews here, and have decided to post my *complete* thoughts on this topic.
First off I'd like to say that it doesn't matter if the iPod is black or white.
Second:
Alot of people here seem to be angry about the "freezing black apple screen". It can be frustrating. If, however, you depress the center button and menu button at the same time for about five seconds the iPod will reset it self (this process requires about three minutes to complete). My songs have never been lost when this happened. I'd also like to note that I've had this iPod for 14 months now and use it from 4 to 10 hours in a day, every day. I'd again like to note that I bought a rubber case for my iPod 14 months ago as well.
It has only frozen about 4 or 5 times, which has only cost me about twenty minutes of silence in 14 months.
Some of these reviews speak of the low quality of this product, like saying it has crashed, or is now completely useless, or apple is an impossible company to deal with (this I agree with), or the procuct is over-hyped, or... well this is just a montage of thoughts and quotes.
I am very happy with this product and I expect it to work for at least 3 more years, but I'll never know because It's practically filled up and will have to move on to a much larger allotment of space. I have about 3 gigs left. At 160 kbps I have 10,419 songs I have 152 songs that are over twenty minutes long, some album sides burnt to CD then ripped to my iPod.
This is a product to take advantage of people, while It's still around.
I bought mine new for $400 dollars, I just saw a 5 Gig on sale at the mall for $189 dollars thats half price with TWELVE TIMES LESS SPACE!!!! A rip off if I've ever seen one, especially when you can buy the 60 gig on this site for considerably less than I bought mine for.
I do not work for apple of amazon email me for more details buyers.
Nice, but not w/o problems.......2007-07-20
I've had several minis for 3+ years and have had very few problems. In the 4 months I've had had this 60 GB it has frozen 3-4 times requiring the "5R" treatment including wiping the thing clean and reloading all the songs back on.
The wheel also sustained a crack in the plastic while it was in a very sturdy case in a padded pocket in my purse. This is odd because I only use my ipod on my my commute for less than an hour a day and am quite meticulous about its care.
The best part is the more-than-ample space for my music. My kids are disgusted that I have a video iPod (they don't), yet I refuse to buy videos. This iPod should give me space for the next few years if it lasts that long.
Quality is not so good........2007-07-16
I love the features of this product, but the quality is something to be desired. The Mac people love to talk about the PC's "Blue Screen of Death", well, this Apple product has the "Black Apple of Death". It freezes and locks on a regular basis. If you are lucky, it only seizes for a few minutes and then resets. If it is not your lucky day, it will freeze completely and be completely useless until the battery dies and it can be recharged. I have the same complaint as everyone else, too, it was marred and scratched with hours of purchase. I'm sorry I bought this product. I love having an mp3 player that plays video, but I should've bought a different brand. Thankfully, there are many 3rd party companies that make accessories, because Apple charges a whole lot of money for every little thing.
Worst Company I've Dealt With.......2007-07-01
For this price I expected a decent product. It breaks just after the warranty expires and they tell you they don't repair products, only replace them within warranty period. Zero stars would be much better as that is what I give it. It's difficult to get songs into the iPod and when it breaks you're out the whole enchilada! Look elsewhere if you want a decent personal jukebox and definitely avoid all things from Apple. I will be in the future.

A nice radio.......2006-10-30
I have had this readio for a couple of years and find it's sound mello and it's design cool...woken up to it...listened to sports...I don't view TV...enlighten your lives and turn the TV off and the Q on!
Sangean PR-D2 , Not bad, Not great.......2004-04-29
This radio looks great. I really liked the style. However, that's about all I really liked. Another reviewer compared the sound to the Bose Wave radio. Either they've never heard the Bose or they were just really happy with the price comparison. At high volumes the radio sounds ok but at lower volumes it sounds like it play from inside a cardboard box. I could live with that but my real disappointment was with the tuning. I live in the mountains where radio reception is difficult. Usually "PLL Synthesized Digital Tuning for rock stable reception of AM/FM" is exactly that. In this radio the tuning is stable but the reception was worse than other cheap dial tuning radios that I own. Often raising the antenna made the reception even worse. I really wanted to like this radio but it's just lacking in too many areas. The clock vs frequency display feature is another really bad idea.
Great Bedside Radio.......2004-01-25
My Sangean Q arrived via Fedex within 7 days of placing the order.
I was impressed immediately with the classic retro design
and the obvious assembly quality. The controls, large knobs and buttons, are very easy to see, feel, and manipulate. The backlighting glows a warm golden shade and can be turned off. The various buttons on top that control functions are designed to make their use intuitive - I set the radio up to my preferences, and then read the manual! Very simple and straight forward.
Station reception is excellent, very important in rural east Texas. This quality, and the 5 pre-sets on each band, remind me of a car radio. The sound is pleasant and well balanced, a little weak on bass presence and separation, but considering the price and size, very adequate, and better than most other radios in this price range.
The Sangean Q is a fine, general purpose radio with above average convience features and sound. Keep the batteries fresh and you'll have a great emergency radio to boot!
A lot of radio. Not so much clock........2003-04-05
This would appear to be a car radio circuit put in an attractive, rather retro looking package. You get your five preset buttons, and the display is in a panel that looks like it would be at home in a dashboard as well as in the radio you're given.
You get car radio performance out of the radio circuit as well. First night I got it, on the AM side on a spring night I got New Orleans, Toronto, and Cleveland. The FM circuit appears to be just as solid, giving good reception on stations that usually are not easy to hear on the radio it replaced.
There's even a terminal to attach an external AM antenna to this thing; unfortunately there's no provision for an external FM antenna. The FM sound quality is solid, even though stereo can only be had through headphones. As a radio, this would be useful for sports fans and other AM listeners who follow teams in distant cities at night.
The clock radio part is very basic, however, with only one clock or alarm setting. When the radio comes on, as noted below, the display shows the frequency instead of the time; you can't set up for a different display. There's no fancy stuff that allows you to fall asleep to one station and wake to another, or to adjust the sleep and wake volume to different settings. The only way you get a clock memory is to add the batteries that power the radio itself: four D cells. The whole package is rather heavy with the batteries in.
If your needs for a clock radio are very basic, this would work fine. If the performance of the radio is more important than the performance of the clock, again this is a good choice. If you need a multifeature clock radio, look elsewhere.
Sangean Q has serious faults as a clock radio........2003-02-06
I purchased the Sangean Q for use primarily as a clock radio. The problem is that when the radio comes on to wake me up, the time does not display, just the station frequency. To see the time, you must turn off the radio. I'm in the habit of listening to the radio for a while before getting out of bed, and I don't want to have to keep reaching over to turn the radio off and on to check on the time. Another problem is that the display is angled up so that it can only be read from above. Therefore, if the radio is located next to the bed on a nightstand, it cannot be read by someone lying in bed.
On the positive side, it has excellent tone and station holding properties and looks nice, although the wood panels on the sides of the gray version (comes in gold or gray)don't appear to have any finish, making me wonder if they will becomed soiled too easily.
My experience with the supplier was not good. The first Sangean Q I received did not work correctly, and it took two telephone calls, a trip to the UPS dropoff center, and three weeks to get a replacement.
