Apple 40 GB 3rd Generation iPod M9245LL/A

Apple 40 GB 3rd Generation iPod M9245LL/A

Product Description
From the Manufacturer
The super-slim iPod defines what a digital music player should be. It's lighter than two CDs, can hold up to 10,000 songs, thousands of digital photos and works as a personal voice recorder. Now you can sync with iTunes for Mac and Windows at blazing speeds, and take your entire music collection with you wherever you go.

15 GB, 20 GB and 40 GB Models
At just over half an inch thick, the iPod fits comfortably in the palm of your hand and slips easily into your pocket -- and your life. Merely 5.6 ounces, it weighs less than two Compact Discs, and even many cell phones. And yet the iPod gives you a huge 15GB, 20GB or 40GB hard drive -- big enough to hold 10,000 songs. Do the math: that's four weeks of music played continuously, 24/7 -- or one new song a day for the next 27 years.

The new iPod sports a sleeker design and an improved interface

The iTunes Music Store. Now for Mac and Windows.
Build a collection of music on your iPod with songs downloaded from the iTunes Music Store. Choose from hundreds of thousands of songs you can preview and buy with just one click. The iTunes Music Store stays open 24/7 -- right on your Mac or Windows PC. Within a minute of finding a song you like, you can own it. You can make unlimited playlists, burn individual songs to CD as many times as you like and take all your music on your iPod wherever you go.

Autosync your iPod with Mac and Windows
iTunes 4 lets you organize your music on your Mac or Windows PC and automatically transfer it to iPod. Whether you've ripped your CD collection to mp3 or AAC, bought music from the iTunes Music Store or made your own track with GarageBand, you can take it with you wherever you go. Your iPod offers high-speed transfer from your Mac or PC. In fact, you can move an entire album from your computer to your iPod in seconds flat. With the industry's only true Auto-Sync, your iPod is always up-to-date, mirroring the latest changes you've made in iTunes. And if your collection on your computer is bigger than iPod, you can let iTunes automatically choose a selection of songs to fill it up.

Ahead-of-the-curve Design
Its hassle-free functionality and stunning, well-considered design place iPod far ahead of the curve and the competition. The Touch Wheel makes scrolling through an entire music collection quick and easy, and the all-touch interface enhances durability and sensitivity. With an LCD screen and buttons that feature a backlight for clear visibility in low-light conditions, iPod is designed for easy one-handed operation. So the best way to take an entire music collection anywhere is now even better.

iPod makes all the right connections

High Fidelity
Designed to give you the best portable digital music experience ever, the iPod delivers the highest sound quality from i nput to output. iPod supports the most popular audio formats -- including MP3 (up to 320 kbps), MP3 Variable Bit Rate(VB R) and WAV -- giving you access to a wide range of audio file types. And iPod is the only portable digital music player that supports the AAC format used by the iTunes Music Store for Mac and Windows. AAC features CD-quality audio in smaller file sizes than MP3, so that even more songs fit on your iPod.

All That And More
The iPod features a sleep timer, so you can fall asleep to your music. And with the iPod's alarm clock, you can choose either an alarm tone or your favorite music to wake you up.

The iPod lets you do a whole lot more, including contacts, calendar and to-do lists. iPod also includes Music Quiz, Solitaire, Brick and Parachute, four great games you can play anywhere (a feature you're sure to appreciate the next time you're standing in line or waiting for someone). You can even use your own music as the soundtrack to a game.

iPod also includes a notes reader that lets you download text-based information and read it on the screen. This way you can have the information you need -- on everything from restaurant reviews to nightlife guides, and from news articles to exercise routines -- at your fingertips.

Bad News.......2007-04-10

Trying to return non working IPOD & ValueSource are being herks!

Frank

See the light?.......2006-12-12

The iPod is well designed and very well made and this is where the good stuff about it ends. I find it one of the most anti-intuitive devices I have ever used, with software that must have been engineered by only the most crass of merchants. Flexibility is not the ipod, and it is unlike the Mac in every way. Its clear after having used one for a few years that Fashion over Function is the secret to its success.
The question is, who will I sell mine to?

Great item!!!!!!.......2006-10-28

I got this item used and it broke in about a week. I sent it to a repair service who charged me almost $300 to replace the hard drive and battery. Not a good start, and I went into ownership with a bad first impression. However, this is a great product. I have nearly half my CD collection downloaded and still have plenty of room for the rest of mine and any of my friends I want. The sound quality is great, the navigation is easy and the design is ingenious. This is something I never knew I wanted but I couldn't live without now. Of course one day I'll upgrade to a newer version, but as long as this one is working well I'll keep using and enjoying it.

A Great Product at the Time.......2006-10-10

I got the 40GB 3rd Generation iPod for Christmas a few months after it came on the market. I am an avid music fan, so I honestly do have in upwards of 40GB of music that I listen to on a regular basis. The iPod was $500 dollars when I got it, which is extremely pricy in my opinion. However, it did come with a dock, power adapter, and belt-clip holder. I used this mainly at college when walking between classes, and it was great for that application.

PROS:

I don't care what some of these people are saying, this thing is durable. I've dropped this thing many times, including drops from at least 4-5' up in the air onto concrete, and other than the aesthetics being diminished, the hard-drive has continued to work flawlessly.

The sound is great, I've hooked this up through an iTrip to the radio, with RCA jacks to my stereo, etc, and the sound is always surprising to people that don't realize its an iPod.

The user interface is EXTREMELY easy, which is one of the main reasons I got it. I wanted something that I could navigate through on the fly extremely quickly.

CONS:

Ever since I got this thing certain songs will not transfer over 100% from my computer to the iPod. It changes everytime I reformat the iPod, which leads me to believe there are just some bad sectors on the hard-drive (which is bound to happen over time).

The buttons being heat-sensitive are a pain (probably why they changed them for future generation iPods). When its cold outside you have to try and warm the iPod before any buttons will work, which can sometimes be very inconvienent. Also, they won't work if you're wearing gloves since not enough body heat will activate the buttons.

The metal and plastic are WAY to easily scratched. I used the belt-buckle holder for at a year, and would just keep it in my back jeans pocket. The holder did more scratching to the finish than the denim jeans did!

The headphone jack is pretty loose after all the usage it has gone though. This is a big problem for most portable electronics, so I guess I can't fault apple for it too....but I will.

The battery is pretty crappy if you're looking to use this thing for more than a few hours, which is obviously why apple had that big lawsuit and offered to replace batteries if you could prove that yours was bad. I didn't hear about the replacement plan till too late, but I typically have it out of the dock for only an hour of listening at a time. The charge diminishes faster than it should if it isn't plugged into the dock on a regular basis. After only 2 days or so, the battery is completely dead, even if you didn't use it.

Now that I'm working in the "real world", I use my iPod plugged in via the dock all day, so batteries really aren't an issue.

In the end, I think this is a great product that is giving me 3+ years of enjoyment. If I could do it again, I would have waited for the 4th Generation iPods to come out, but who knows if I could have waited that long.

I figure this thing will keep working for years to come, and for every year it does, it makes that $500 price tag look less and less. I have many friends with many different types of cheap mp3 players, and most of them are lucky if they last over a year. Apple prides themselves on quality, and this is a quality product.

Unlucky, Perhaps.......2006-09-02

Since they first came out in 2001, I've bought 3 hard-drive-based iPods. Each performed well, for its day, in sound quality and ease of use. All three, however, failed mechanically just slightly beyond the warranty period. In all, I have sunk over $1,000 into iPods, with nothing left to show for it today. A single buyer's experience is a small sample, of course, and perhaps I was just unlucky. In any event, I decided to cut my losses and bought a hard-drive-based mp3 player of different make. Thus far, after 18 months, the replacement brand has performed flawlessly.
