I Picked up this Ipod for about $280 (AU$,1 Year ago) from the local dick smiths
The first thing i noticed was the packaging,a Full plastic curved box,with the ipod displayed n the front transparent section and the acsessories in the the sealed section.
When i opened,i was astonished at the weight,weighing only 48 Grams! Its insanely thin aswell,Only 70mm thin!
I Switched it on and noticed the beutiful 320 x 240 pixel resolution screen,then it asked me some questions,and then it was all ready to use!
When i opened up the second half of the box it came with a USB Cable,Some headphones (Were quite crappy ) and a universal dock adaptor.
When i got it home i plugged it into my PC and downloaded iTunes,and installed it.Now i dont know why,but when iTunes went through my music library,it came up with Quadruplets of EVERYTHING! So i had to go through everything and delete 3 of each song,Not impressed!
After i synced my movies,music and photo's the first thing i went to go see was the sound quality,at first i was very dissaponted,but then i changed the EQ and now it's pretty good,but it doesnt have the Good bass that the Creative zen does.the Screen for photo's and movies it is the BEST i have seen on a Mp3 player,its pretty good for watching movies on too!
overall score 7
