Great Ipod
This was a gift for my daughter and she has been thrilled with it. It works perfectly.

Like Brand New
When I received this iPod, I could not believe it was not new, rather than refurbished. It was repackaged as though it were new, and has offered no problems whatsoever. I recently helped a friend purchase a 60 GB that cost over $500 after all of the necessary accessories were purchased for use in the car, and I would now insist that he buy refurbished in future, rather than new. Some products I have purchased refurbished have had reviews that indicated the purchaser was not happy with the product when received, but it has been my experience here and with other electronics that the manufacturer does everything possible to provide a like new product. And in this case they certainly succeeded.

My ipod is the bane of my existance
I have experienced nothing but frustration with my Ipod. I bought it two years ago (Oct. 2004) and have since had it replaced 6 times. I bought the Apple Care Protection Plan (one year extended warrenty for $60) so that I could continue to get replacements when mine would inevitably break. Most recently, I called Apple to find out about my once again broken Ipod, and they informed me that my warrenty had run out, and it would cost $230 to repair it, so I might as well go to the Apple store and buy a new one. To which I replied, "I will never buy another Apple product, because I have never had an item that held up as bad as this did."

This was one of the worst purchases that I have ever made. I DO NOT recommend buying and Ipod, I would instead recommend the Creative Zen MP3 player, which is much more reliable and MUCH better made.

I cannot reccommend the iPod
I've had a 20GB iPod for 2 years now. It was sent to Apple twice in the first year to have the battery replaced! This thing has been buggy since the day I bought first loaded music. Recently, it stopped playing songs altogether. It simply skips through my entire library, one song after the next, not playing anything. Now, it simply freezes as soon as you attempt to play music. Please, don't make the same mistake I made. Don't spend 200 - 300 dollars on a piece of technology that behaves more like a piece of....well, you get the idea. I've got to run...time to get back on the phone with Apple's tech support...

Short life span
I do not recommend Apple's Ipod and IF you are going to buy one, get the extended warranty. Over the past 3.5 years, I have owned three Ipods and all three died with the same problem after about a year....the well known folder with the exclamation mark. At first it is fixable by restoring or resetting the device, but then the hard dive siezes up and you have a paper weight. I have done this three times because I own all the accessories including by beloved Bose docking station.

If you doubt my warning here, just check out Apple's Ipod support page on their web site. Right on the first page are the infamous icons that you will dread to see on Ipod (if you buy one). Also check out the support discussion board.

You've been warned.
