Product Description
Manufacturer's Information
1,000 songs in your pocket: presenting iPod. The first MP3 player to pack a mind-blowing 1,000 songs and a 10-hour battery into a stunning 6.5-ounce package you can literally take everywhere. But iPod isn't just a revolution in portability, it's also a revolution in simplicity. Just plug it into your Mac and all of your iTunes songs and playlists are automatically downloaded into iPod at blazing FireWire speed. With iPod, it's that easy to take your entire music collection with you wherever you go, in the pocket of your choice.
Ultraslim, ultralight and ultraportable: pocket-sized (2.43 by 4.02 by 0.78 inches) and ultralight (6.5 ounces) for true portability, the iPod is a marvel of audio engineering wizardry. At just 6.5 ounces, it weighs appreciably less than the stack of CDs it can store music from.
Super-fast FireWire auto-updating: when you first plug iPod into your Mac, all of your iTunes songs and playlists are automatically downloaded into iPod at blazing FireWire speed. Then, when you add new music or rearrange playlists in iTunes, simply plug iPod back in and it's automatically updated in seconds. It simply doesn't get any easier or faster than this. You can download an entire CD in less than 10 seconds. Or 1,000 songs in under 10 minutes. Plus, iPod automatically charges whenever you're connected and your Mac is on.
Easy on the eyes: the iPod has a large, high-quality liquid crystal display (LCD) for viewing up to six lines of text. And the LCD features a white light-emitting diode (LED) backlight for clear visibility in low-light situations--indoors or outdoors.
Get charged: iPod automatically charges using the FireWire cable connected to your Mac while you are transferring music. You can also recharge using the included FireWire cable and AC adapter when you're on the go.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Essential,
By jasoncarty@hotmail.com (Dublin, Ireland.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Apple iPod 5GB for Mac – 1st Generation [M8513B/A] (Electronics)
I'm a mac user who has owned an iPod for six months now and I've had no problems with it. There's a couple of specific points I'd like to state for the record:(1) The software now on iPod's has ironed out the bugs mentioned elsewhere in these reviews and now includes an equaliser. (2) The fact that the machine is updatable through downloads from the apple site means that the machine I bought six months ago has more capabilities than when I bought it. E.G. The addition of the equaliser, also you can store and display a full address book on your iPod. (3) I am a very snobby audiophile. The iPod sounds great. And unlike every other portable audio product, it doesn't come bundled with bad headphones. (4) It sounds better than minidisc. Trust me. (5) It is durable and does not skip. I regularly take it to the gym. Sure, it gets scratched but you're USING it, duh! Enjoy it! You can't live in a glasshouse! (6) It is the size of a pack of cards. Note that there is a 10Gb version now out, but 5Gb is a lot of music. This is the best thing ever!

It does work with PCs (really),
By Robert Smithson (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Apple iPod 5GB for Mac – 1st Generation [M8513B/A] (Electronics)
I love my iPod. And I don't even own a Mac.Why Apple decided to release this for Macs only is beyond me. The iPod is beautifully made, and UI is simple and effective. Mine hasn't broken yet, either. Anyway, it is *very* easy to get it to work with your PC, so long as you have a Firewire card. (Cost c. £30.) There are two software packages (Ephpod, free, and X-Play, will cost, but currently in beta) with do what iTunes does. So, ignore the Mac only bit, and get yourself an iPod!

My iPod - 5 months on,
By A Customer
This review is from: Apple iPod 5GB for Mac – 1st Generation [M8513B/A] (Electronics)
I bought an iPod five months ago. I've used it every day to listen to music and as a hard disc to carry my work to and from the office. Unlike the first reviewer, I've seen no problems with the battery either personally or on the numerous iPod/MP3-related internet sites, of which I'm an avid reader. Track skipping is also an unknown phenomenon (actually the iPod has a 20-minute skip protection, compared the the minute or so of rival products). The dial for scrolling through the menus has perhaps become slightly looser than it was when the iPod was new, but this has not affected its performance. The buttons remain fine. The software updates were quick and easy to download and install - they have mostly added more languages to the menus; I'd not experienced any problems at all with the software before downloading them. Scratching of the case IS a real problem, but (somewhat surprisingly) the mirror-finish stainless steel can be buffed up with Brasso. I've not had any scratches on the front yet, but I've probably been lucky. Dirt is not a problem; the thing may be white, but it wipes clean - most of the case is stainless steel after all. If you want to protect the iPod suitable mini disc player cases are readily-available in the UK (I got mine in John Lewis). The iPod isn't perfect, but it IS the best MP3 player out there at the moment. The new version will no doubt have a greater hard disc capacity, and probably a remote control too (the firmware is already built into the iPod to accommodate it), and is probably worth waiting for.
