Review: if you want an ipod that is brand new and has a color screen and can hold up to 15,000 songs and 25,000 iuptcres this ipod is the way to go. 60gb is huge storage capacity for any mp3 player! i needed an ipod because i wanted something light so when i run i can listen to music without the thing falling off in the middle of the jog. so i went to a store and they told me that ipod has a new photo ipod out. i either was going to buy 40gb or this 60gb; i went all out and bought this one. i spent $600.00 on this but i don't regret it. apple has the best mp3 players on the market and this one is just so cool! ipod mini sucks and it seems that everyone has it! the regular ones are just plain boring! get this one and you won't be dissappointed. i love itunes too (don't download illegally!)
Review: I've owned the ipod photo for a month now, and i realized that this unit is too eneixspve for its features. The only thing this Ipod can do is for viewing photos and listening to music. I am now looking onto the Archos Gmini 400, which has memory card reader, photo, video, music, and gameplay all in one for a little over half the price of this ipod. This Ipod Photo is way too eneixspve for the petty features. Get the Archos Gmini 400 instead.
for me this method didn't work, i get stuck on apple's logo all the time in my iPod Touch 4G 32GB MC544J. I follow these exactly steps, then I tried redsn0w methid too, same thing, stuck on logo. Anybody got the same problem?
