    • Can't purchase video via WiFi. Earbuds suck.

    I got the white ipod a few days ago from apple. I think its a lot nicer than the black, its a lot more crisp and fresh. Also you can connect to itunes and sync your ipod wirelessly. Some of my complaints would be the camera. Read more

    • East Set-up, wifi sync to itunes
    • Bad Camera, Short battery life

  2. I'd return it if it wasn't such a hassle

    I am a music junkie. I hate scroll wheels because my music collection is well taken care of (LAME MP3 3.97 VBR 4), imbedded album art -- I am browsing through pictures rather than text files. Read more

    • Coverflow intuitiveness; design; functionality; super computer in a slab of metal; omits the crappy phone part
    • Bluetooth and a camera - non-phone users still want to take pictures and exchange files; only 32gb tops...for now
