This iPod incorporates the same touch-sensitive Apple Click Wheel that debuted on iPod mini for extremely convenient and easy control. Spin the wheel to scroll effortlessly through dozens of playlists, hundreds of albums or thousands of songs and podcasts. Use iTunes software (for Macintosh and Windows PC) to download a wide range of music and audio (at a reasonable charge). As for the CDs you already own, iTunes makes it easy to transfer your favorite songs and albums. Just pop a CD into your Mac or PC and click the Import button. You can import music in a variety of formats, such as MP3 or AAC, and at whatever quality level you'd prefer. With a dual-volt power supply (USA adapter provided), this iPod is your companion around the world. Make this one yours. Supported photo display formats - Syncs iPod-viewable photos in JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, PSD (Mac only) and PNG formats
Ipod 60 GBPhoto (Rating: 4 out of 5) Very Good ! As far as the owner, the ipod is well take care.

Next Generation Brag Book & More (Rating: 5 out of 5) Was I ever surprised when my husband purchased this nifty photo iPod for me as a birthday present when they first came out on the market. Being the techno wizard that he is, he thought it would be fun for me to have not only almost all of my music collection at my fingertips, but to also be able to enjoy many of our family photographs as well.
I'm sorry to say that I don't have any tips for loading all your pictures on because I let my husband play with that part since he's so good at it. But I doubt that I would have had a problem with it either.
As with all iPod products, a case is a necessity to keep it from getting scratched. I initially had a skin for mine, but wasn't completely happy with that set up. My bonus daughter gave me a wonderful turquoise leather flip case that allows easy access to the wheel and an unobstructed view of the screen.
With all the other in depth reviews here, I won't go into a lot of the specifics of the technology, except to say that it seems there would be a better way to navigate through to find particular songs or artists or albums. But whoever thought 10 years ago, we would be able to have this cool device in the first place? So I'm grateful for what it does do - gives me hours of pleasure listening to all my favorite music and browsing through my photograph collection up close and personal with the easy click and twirl of my fingers or thumb.
I now call my fun new toy "Mimi's Next Generation Brag Book" because while other mothers and grandmothers whip out their photo albums from their handbags to brag on their Johnny and Susie, I whip out my cool new iPod Photo and twirl my thumb around and find extensive files of family photos from weddings and vacations to pictures of our new grandchildren.
Unfortunately, not long ago, I was carrying my iPod in my bag when I threw in a bottle of water without the cap being screwed on properly. When I discovered the mess in my bag later that day, my iPod was wet, and somehow the inside of the screen was showing moisture. We dried it out completely -- in a low temp oven -- yes, we did. The files were intact and the music still played beautifully, but the pictures couldn't be seen clearly because there was no backlight now. After sending it off to the factory, we received a message that the backlight was damaged. Replacing that part would have just about paid for a new one, so we opted not to get it repaired.
I still love listening to this iPod and haven't experienced any other problems. The music comes through beautifully and transports me to another realm when I'm plugged in.

Three hard disk failures-definitely buy the extended warranty (Rating: 1 out of 5) I love the Ipod when it works, but I have had three die on me out of the blue. I have taken care of all of them. They have not been dropped or exposed to high or low temperatures. It's easy to get them replaced if you pay extra for Applecare. That's definitely worth it. If you have not already invested in getting your music onto Itunes, look closedly at other MP3 players before getting locked into Ipod. At this point, I have 6000 songs rated on Itunes. It would take too much time to switch.
Would be great if it worked... (Rating: 1 out of 5) In theory it would be a great product, except that my first iPod of this model had its hard drive go bad only a few months after I got it. Apple replaced it, great process, but now the replacement has gone bad after less than a year. And of course now the warranty has passed. Poorly built, dodgy model. Don't waste your money.
