Apple 20 GB iPod M8738LL/Aß(2nd Generation)

Product Description

Apple presents iPod - the first MP3 player to pack a countless number of songs and 10 hours of battery life into a stunning package you can literally take everywhere. It's your entire music collection. With no moving parts, the iPod's touch-sensitive scroll wheel is less vulnerable to dust, dirt or sand and more durable. The touch-sensitive scroll wheel is designed to retain its crisp feel throughout the lifespan of your iPod. There's even a clicker that makes a tiny clicking sound when the scroll wheel is moving.Small though it is, the iPod packs a lot of storage. The number of songs it holds depends on the compression rate you choose. At a 160Kbps compression rate (the default setting for encoding MP3s in iTunes), 5GB equals approximately 1, 000 songs, or about 100 CDs. That's how big it is on the inside. And with that much space, you might also find yourself storing documents, files and applications on your iPod in FireWire disk mode. iPod's rechargeable lithium polymer battery gives you 10 hours of continuous playback. In a hurry to get it recharged? Fast-charge the battery to 80% of capacity in an hour, and get it fully recharged in three hours. With an industry-leading 20 minutes of skip protection, iPod keeps playing without missing a beat. iPod has a 32MB solid-state memory cache, meaning that it has no mechanical or moving parts. Skip protection works by continually preloading up to 20 minutes of music into the cache, so your iPod is not affected by sudden movements.The 10GB and 20GB iPod models include a clip-on wired remote control that lets you fast-forward or rewind a track, play, pause and adjust volume using just one hand. They also include a designer carrying case with belt clip that protects your iPod from the elements and lets you clip it to your belt, backpack or purse.

Apple 20 GB Second Generation iPod.......2005-03-19

If you need more songs and you are willing to spend $499.99 I would recommend this iPod to you. This is the second generation 20 gigabyte iPod. This iPod holds about 4,000 songs at near CD-quality. I don't have this version but I do have the 10 gigabyte version (plus another few iPods). I think Apple has designed their MP3 players extremely well. I love the white coating on the top and the metal-finish at the back. People do not see too much difference between the first and second generation iPods. There really isn't too much change accept now the scroll wheel isn't mechanical; that's the only big change. There is a cover for the connectivity ports and the 10GB version is a bit thinner than the first generation 5GB version. This iPod is about .80" in depth which is pretty thick. The 10GB is still .78" but you can still see the difference. Now iPods are really thin especially with the mini but the new fourth generation is extremely thin as well. This weights about 6.5 ounces which is kind of heavy but it will still suite you well. The battery life on this is about 10 hours which isn't too bad compared to the third generation iPod's 8 hour battery life. I would recommend you getting a case so the metal or white plastic on top will not get scatched. This iPod has really everything you need: playlists, calender, games, phone book, etc. There is only one game though (Bricks) but I love Bricks and I think you will enjoy it as well. On my 10GB version I have about 1,500 songs which fit perfectally onto my playlists. It comes with MusicMatch Jukebox but I would recommend getting iTunes. I would look into the iPod but not this one. Get the fourth-generation iPod or any other kind of iPod you like. But this is all around a very good package and especially now it's really cheap!

Service. What service?.......2004-06-23

I bought the iPod from Amazon and it was delivered about a week ago. I also bought the Apple Care Protection plan. The product seems to work fine except I am having minor but irksom problems 'navigating' using the buttons and wheel thing. I am using it for an Audible book which is supposed to start where you left off. Well, after 7 hours it decided to start at beginning again. I try fast forward and the thing goes to the next book. I want to just finish the last hour of the one that is being played.

So, I call what they call Customer Service and find that they won't give me any advice whatever until I FAX in a copy of my shipping document from Amazon and another sheet with a magic number on it from within the extended service package. They say that Amazon is not an authorized reseller and that they cannot check my order and date of sale from Amazon.

I explain that I do not have a FAX machine, and that I will go send the stuff in a few days when I feel like walking that far using my crutches.

I think that it is probably a good product, but if you are in any way handicapped and it is not convenient for you to run around to get their service, I recommend not buying it.

THE gadget of the year! Maybe Decade!!!.......2003-07-18

This is amazing. A must have for any traveler. The easy firewire plug for charging is great. I like it better then the funky new charging firewire layout. This is simply standard. The unit itself it pretty tough. I dropped it running and it didn't skip or anything. Amazing battery time and everything. The one thing I don't like is the way Apple set up their mp3 sharing so that you can only copy music onto it or delete music. You can't transfer music back off it. This is probably to keep the record companies happy. iTunes is great. And the unit is great simply to use as a portable Hard Drive as well.

Not for running or jogging!.......2003-07-01

If what you want is a portable device to run or jog with, simply forget it. It freezes after three or four songs (every time) and it is just the way it was built. I sent it for repair (they charged $29.99 for shipping), just to have it back with the same problem and the explanation that iPod's skip protection just lasts 20 minutes, even while Apple's website specifically states you can run with it.

What could be better than.. iPod?.......2003-05-03

Steve Jobs wants you to be cool, and this is the hardware he wants you to do it with. You can store enough music on this baby for a continuous week of hi-fi stereo tunes, and you can keep her charged up with the included adapter or by plugging her into the FireWire port.

No FireWire port? That's a problem, because you need to connect the iPod to a FireWire-equipped Mac in order to get tunes onto it. It takes about 5 seconds to transfer an average track - blazing fast! You can put your whole library on here in less than an hour, using the easy drag-and-drop iTunes software.

And now, you can even use your iPod to play back tunes purchased from Apple's online music store, in the high-quality AAC format!

I get about 2 hours per charge (I play high volume to drown out subway noise), and my iPod is sturdy enough to go biking with no skips. I don't bother using the wired remote or the belt clip; but I do use a car adapter to get my tunes playing over my car's stereo system! And I occasionally use the iPod as a portable hard disk as well! Fits right in my pocket!

So, if you want maximum cool and maximum tunes, look no further!

great little system.......2006-10-01

i have been useing mine from about 6th grade on. now im in my 3rd year in college, i have my computer hooked up through the microphone input. this thing has always been great. sound quality for a small system is not too bad, and that comming from a audio enthusiest. (currently working on an infinity Hi-fi setup with custum amp and crossovers) im sure you can get something better today, but this thing is reliable and gives good audio.

Great Boombox.......2000-01-05

As a 13 year old, I feel that this is a really great boombox. I really like the appearance; it's attractive looking. The sound is really good. And the Q-sound (virtual surround sound) is a great feature in that it makes the music sound like it is all around you. The only thing I don't really like about it is that it has a rather flimsy CD lid. Other than that, I am very pleased with it.

Not Great Stereo.......2000-01-02

Unlike most new Aiwa's I've seen or purchased, this particular stereo seemed to be way out of date. The buttons were hard to push, and the remote was almost useless. The sound was decent, but for the money, I wouldn't recommend buying this stereo.

A little disappointing.......1999-12-02

I didn't buy this from Amazon.com, but did get it as a gift last year. I was thrilled when I tore open the gift and saw I got an Aiwa boombox as I had bought other Aiwa products in the past and have been extremely satisfied with them. However, after I started playing this boombox, I was a bit disappointed with its limited volume output capacity as well with its volume output of recorded cassettes. But, overall, it serves its purpose and I can't complain otherwise.

that good.......2004-01-21

i think you should not discontinue this controller because i like the color and i like the quality if you put it away right

not worthy.......2002-01-17

I thought i made a good decision when i bought this product, but boy was i wrong. after 2 months of use it finally gave up on me--this bites! and that so called lifetime warranty is non-existent. Goodluck!

Mad Catz does it gain.......2002-01-02

I am really impressed with this product, even though it is only a few bucks cheaper than the microsoft x-box controller it really felt comfortable in my hands. I spend a lot of time playing halo and oddworld and with this controller my hands don't get tired as quickly as they did when I used the microsoft controller. The buttons seem like they are easier to reach with my thumb on this controller and that can make a big difference at times. I also am not worried about if this product will last a long time or not because I have purchased many other items from this company in the past and never had a single problem with them.

Mad Catz Control Pad Pro.......2002-01-02

I have tried a couple of controllers and the Mad Catz Control Pad Pro seems to be the best out of the bunch. If you like the Standard Xbox controller than you'll most likely like this one. This controller is much lighter and smaller than the standard Xbox controller which makes it more comfortable and easier to hold. It feels solid as well like the Standard controller. The buttons seem to be more well placed and spaced. The thumbsticks are on par with the standard conroller and have the perfect travel and resistence. The D-Pad is much better due to the "Cross" design rather than using a circular pad. I found myself drifting off to the left ALOT with the Standard controller while using the D-Pad while trying to walk a straight line or narrow ledge. The triggers have the right amount of resistence but i would have liked to have a little more travel, it just seems to short of a pull. If your looking for another controller to replace the standard one than this is it. If you do not like this controller then i would recommend keeping the standard one. The other controllers may be a little cheaper, but they do not compare to this one in at all.

This controller is all looks, no function!.......2001-12-19

Yes, this controller looks very nice. The rubber pads are great, and it is a bit smaller. However, the response on it is horrible.

First off, I like the Microsoft controllers. I have small hands and people complain about the size of the controller, but after a little bit of playing, it really does feel natural in your hands. ALL the buttons are pressure sensitive; this is not the case with the MadCatz controllers.

The buttons on the Madcatz controllers are NOT pressure sensitive. I have confirmed this by going into the Sparring Mode of DOA3 and running through the moves tutorial. When using this controller, the moves are different. You now have to use the direction pad in combination with different button presses to execute moves.

For example, a certain move that requires just a HARD button press with the Microsoft controller now requires you to hit Down on the direction pad along with the button press to pull off the same move with the MadCatz controller. Add to that the fact that you have to really push down on the MadCatz buttons to get any response out of it really makes the MadCatz an inferior, frustrating, and after long periods of play, a painful controller to use.

Do yourself a favor, just stick with the Microsoft controllers for now and avoid this one.
