I don't have one at the moment, but I'm likely to get a Shuffle for my birthday this Thursday :D

[munkle]

3G 20 GB baby! Out of space now so waiting to see what the 5G offers or might plump for a photoPod, I'm a sucker for new toys!

[Iroganai]

I've heard that there is extreme demand for the iPod shuffles.
I bet you need to wait three~four weeks before you get in your hands... ;)

I hope you can find one soon ! :)

False. Apple learned their lesson with the iPod Mini fiasco, and it's my understanding that Apple has stockpiled huge numbers of iPod Shuffles in anticipation of huge demand.

third generation 15 gig. I'm running out of space, wonder what the 5g has to offer...

Same here 3G 20GB version. :)


Still have enough space on it, not sure if I need to buy another iPod until I see a 6 or 7G. :)


Also do not need an iPod Photo, its overpriced IMHO. :)

[Earendil]

iPod Mini here. I won't get another iPod until I see a 10gig Mini that'll let me import pictures from my digital camera and view them on a color screen. Hopefully by the time Apple gets there, I'll also be there financially :)

[Mudbug]

3g 20 for me and the mrs. has a mini.

best gadget evar.

[ALoLA]

1G 5G for me, 4G 10GB for my brother, and a mini for my mom. :) I've also got a shuffle on order. :D

[sethypoo]

False. Apple learned their lesson with the iPod Mini fiasco, and it's my understanding that Apple has stockpiled huge numbers of iPod Shuffles in anticipation of huge demand.

Um, not quite false. According to Apple, there is a three to four week wait period. This is almost what the mini was at.

[winmacguy]

That was initially, although I read at the weekend that Apple has put in an order for 10,000,000 iPod shuffles. Sorry I dont have the link though.

[painimies]

3g 20 & a mini. Getting Shuffle as soon as I can get my hands on one in Finland.

[jlewis2k1]

[polyesterlester]

Yeah. That's why my iPod shuffle order (that I made the day after the keynote) says it will be shipped "on or before February 15th".

There's still a long wait, guys.

Oh, and this is to go with my 1G 5GB iPod, and my 38 GB music collection. So whoever said the shuffle wasn't for real music lovers might want to rethink that statement ;)

[SimonsSoulmate]

I had a silver ipod mini but got a new 40gb ipod photo at christmas which i love, the colour screen rocks.

[wrldwzrd89]

I own a 40GB 3G iPod that doesn't get used.

[sebisworld]

I own one heavily used 20GB 4Gen iPod.

And it almost seems that we are back to one brand-new poll every weekday.

[JonoColesUK]

I own a 60GB iPod Photo :) :D

[Centris 650]

I have a 2G 10 gig and only have about 5 gigs filled.I'm not a music buff by any means. The main playlist that I listen to on my ipod is only about 150 songs. I am seriously thinking about getting an ipod shuffle though probably not before August or maybe even next Christmas.

[MattG]

As soon as they make one that can stream to an Airport Express, I'm there!

[wordmunger]

No iPod, and no plans to get one. I don't like headphones, and I don't work to music. Generally I only listen to music in the living room while talking with my wife.

I do have a Cube there, which I use as a dedicated music server.

[brap]

No iPod, and no plans to get one.Oh good, thought I'd be the only one, after reading the rest!

Powerbooks are justifiable expense, iPods are a complete extravagance. Something I'm not really able to explain away when the bank statement comes.

[wordmunger]

LOL!

We generally play it quite softly--usually classical and jazz. I can't stand going to parties with loud music where people are expected to talk. I can't hear a word anyone says. Apparently some people have miracle ears, because they do somehow manage to have conversations under those conditions.

[AmigoMac]

I use my iPod almost everyday, of course not at home but I travel from monday to friday 1.5 hours by train, not everyday I open my iBook just for music, the photos are a nice add-on if you have a beamer on your desk at work. ;) or you think about the children while traveling , when I'm at work I listen music directly from my iBook, I tell you, I listen music at least 8 hours/day.

[Trowaman]

3ed Gen 20 gb iPod, been used a lot over the last week to sync with iCal pointing me to where my new classes are and telling me my schedule. Only got 4 GB left on it, but there is a 3-4 gB OS on there as well that I'll delete sometime before the first half of 2005 ends. ;)

[~Shard~]

Bought a nice 20 GB 3G model at the SoHo Store in New York last April when I was visiting my brother. I thought it was fitting to buy an Apple product in the Big Apple... ;)

[Patmian212]

4G 10 GB my first apple product i was very satisfied...Right now its VERY scratched up and on the verge of death :( ...Might get a new non-photo one when they update.

[24C]

Had a 30G iPod, loved it, but gave it away to a lad suffering from depression...music does help apparently.

Unfortunately, it was the start of my iPod withdrawal symptons though :), but the music scattered on the Macs around the house helped. I did try using the PowerBook as an iPod on a short hop flight, but that was a bit OTT. The iPod shuffle comes tomorrow, assuming TNT can find me, and I'll be back in business again.....can't wait, already got the Sony Fontopia's ready :D

[VincentVega]

iPod mini (silver).

I'd like one of the new "shuffles" as well.

I just got my 4G 40GB a month ago, and I love it. I'm still in the process of moving my CD collection over, but so far I've got about 4000 songs into it. It's been an eye-opener going through all of my old music - I'm listening to stuff I forgot I had!

I followed your upgrade path!

The 5Gb now donated to my daughter.

I've also bought a 20Gb at Xmas for someone who put a lot of work my way. Man was he pleased!

[Macmaniac]

I own one, and my sister owns one. My mom may get a mini soon:)

[pimentoLoaf]

An original 15gb iPod, w/o AppleCare (alas!), that is still going strong though I've used but one-fifth for songs.

If it ever gives out, I probably would upgrade to an iPod mini as the flashRAM version would have to be a non-random-player for my tastes.

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

I've had my little green mini since February '04, and I love it, hoping it will last me another two years (500 charge cycles ≈ charging every other day for almost three years). After that I'll get a shuffle (or something similar, who knows what Apple may release in the mean time). I got all my music organized on my iBook, and the shuffle really meets all my demands for a portable music player.

[johnnyjibbs]

I have one (4G, 20GB) but only because I got it for £70 as part of a "Cram and Jam" offer with my brother's iBook. I couldn't afford one at the normal price.

[Xtremehkr]

A silver MiniPod.

What are the odds I did the same thing?

Same model bought at the same store, in the same city, while visiting at the same time in april.


I just had a shiver up my spine. :~

Those posters are just giddy that they own an iPod, and don't even know what generation or size it is in accordance to its release.


In the upper scenario I have a 5G 80GB iPod then. ;) :)

3rd Gen. 10 Gig

Jus' bought an iPod Shuffle for my Brother, It'll be here in a few weeks. :D

[BruinJohn]

Before I got my clickwheel 20G last summer, I used to make a cd almost every week just to listen in the car. I have a Sony MP3 CD unit in my car and I thought that was cool cuz I can put songs in albums and stuff. But now with my iPod, its so much easier and faster to make new albums and playlists. Has anyone gotten the 12 hours promised by Apple on their iPod yet? I can't seem to get past 8. Maybe its cuz I use it in my car and I always have the backlight on.

i had a 4G 40gb iPod, but i only have about 10gb of music, and i rarely used it. (and i am a music major, which i think makes me a music lover!) Therefor i sold it so i could afford this:

I also have my eye on the 512MB shuffle at the moment, but haven't reached for the wallet just yet.

[SiliconAddict]

60GB iPod Photo.....35.8GB of sweet tunes. :D And about 730 photos even though I'm finding I'm using my VGA iPaq more often for photo viewing. Nothing beats that 4" VGA screen. :D Well nothing other then an actual full blown monitor but the day I can fit a 17" monitor in my pants...

What's the best way to listen to music while talking (and hugging, kissing etc. ) with your wife? None other than using the ipod connected to your hi-fi, and turn on the shuffle mode. If your mood changed during the conversation, you can always switch to a different playlist (to romantic songs if you want something more, or hard rock if you're in a rage) in a few seconds. :D :D :D

[applefans]

don't and won't. with the CD/MP3 player i have i can listen to CDs i borrow from other people, no ripping involved. and because it only reads very old ID3 tags, it's just like a shuffle!

with an ipod, you can borrow ripped tunes from your friend (those that have CDs to lend you might probably had done so). That's easier, and your friend won't chase after you for return of the CDs. ;)

[winmacguy]

LOL!

We generally play it quite softly--usually classical and jazz. I can't stand going to parties with loud music where people are expected to talk. I can't hear a word anyone says. Apparently some people have miracle ears, because they do somehow manage to have conversations under those conditions.

Yes, at 34, Id be one of those young people who enjoys going to parties and talking to others with clearly audible music in the back ground :) I must have great hearing or something ;)

[PizzaDelivery]

I started off with the ORIGINAL (hidden game and all, moving wheel) 5gb iPod. Got upgraded when it broke (Folder with exclamation point, go figure). Had the 10gb, upgraded to 20gb. Currently on a 40, which broke during Winter Break (Folder error, again) so I got it replaced, where it broke a week later (Folder error, thank you very much). I've had the folder error more times than I can remember. By the way. my 40gb is full, so if anybody would care to send me a 60gb iPod photo, that would be greatly appreciated :D :D :D

[geoffism]

4g 40 gig. Love it. It's about half full. No plans to get a Shuffle. Just waiting on the new PB's.

[jncrow]

3G Ipod would like to get a mini or shuffle for the wife.

[neoelectronaut]

Don't have one...

But goddamn I want one.

My mother won't let me get one because $400 is alot of cash just for a little music player. "You already have a portable CD player." "I don't see what's so great about it."

Not to mention that I still have a little tweaking left to do on my iTunes library...album art to upload, albums to correct, etc.

Have you approached your mother about a iPod mini? Or maybe she would be accepting of the new iPod shuffle, it's always worth a try. Your could tell her how compact it is and can be worn on person. Much less risk of loss or damage.

My iTunes library is currently at 20GB. (About 20.37) So both the Shuffle and the Mini are out of the question. And obviously I broke the 20GB barrier, so I'd have to get the 40GB model.

So...yeah.

I have a $50 gift card for CompUSA I was going to put towards the iPod, so that'd bring it down from $400 to $350.

[Eniregnat]

The 1gb Shuffle will be a replacement for my current tiny thumb drive, as well as my first iPod. The battery life looks good and I have needed and excuse to get a portable media player. I just wish that all iPods had some sort of bookmark feature. It would make listening to audio books much easier.

I am glad Apple is so quick to deliver the new iPod. I like how they changed the delivery date. Waiting makes me happy. I sometimes wonder why I don't just cancel my order and get some other kind of flash player. :confused: But I am willing to wait, as I am a member of the Cult of Apple.

[verozov]

The end of the year I need a new car, make my own CD's now for my car, but they always end up skipping anyway do not like CD players in cars. If the car has a way to have an integrated iPod I will get it and never burn CD's for my car again. Someday CD's reign will end. BMW has it, do not want a BMW though.

[drlunanerd]

I was one of the first geeks to have an iPod in London. Got stopped all the time by people asking about it. A London Underground worker stopped me one day and was so gutted when he told me he'd just bought a Creative CD-Discman sized player but wished he'd got an iPod. I felt his pain!

Now have a 4G 40GB, defintely the best one I've had, if only for the vastly improved power managment. I can now leave it in my coat pocket for a few days and be confident it will have some juice left. My 1st Gen would die left in that state all too soon.

Have also bought a few iPod minis on behalf of others. Made a 16 year old girl's Christmas last month when her father couldn't track one down in London for hide nor hair! I'm such an altruist ;)

[Doga]

I gave my brother an iPod for Christmas in 2003. But I never really considered buying iPod for myself before, even though they're gorgeous. My only on-the-go listening is on the commuter train in the morning & evening, where I've used a Panasonic AM/FM thingie for a couple of years. Well, no more radio - my iPod Shuffle was delivered last Tuesday. It's terrific. It's a little beauty, and it suits my needs perfectly. :cool:

[icesiren2002]

2G 10 Gig for my first one-well used, pink mini for last valentines day ("with love to me"), got a green mini for my middle daughter's graduation from grad school gift, my youngest will get the "shuffle" (and maybe the mini Mac for college). :D

[Fender2112]

I actually have two. A 20 gig connected to my truck stereo and a blue Mini I use when I work out.

[wnameth]

Just got a 3G 10GB off these forums, can't wait to get it(thanks to amin) are they nice, smaller then the larger sizes?

[nfocus design]

Have a silver mini. I bought a 512MB shuffle at my local Apple store, but gave it to my mom. I have another one on order from Amazon for myself.

[ASP272]

I own a 4G 20GB iPod. With good playlist management, I can have about 3,500 songs on it and still have a few gigs of space for file storage, which I use often. I won't ever get a Shuffle because I have a small MP3 player (iRock 256mb) for extreme workouts - though I love the Shuffle. I won't ever buy another iPod until it can do quicktime movies. That way I can put all my movies of my daughter on there and share them via TV with my family back home. That's when it would be worth it for me to reinvest in one. I think iPod is the greatest technical innovation since the bread slicer! :)

If you’re looking for a portable way to show your movies to your family, why not buy a Mac Mini? That’s pretty much just as easy to take over to a friend or family member’s place as an iPod – and it’s your entire system! ;)

I'd love one. How 'bout you send me that check for $599 and I'll run right out and get one. ;) Just kiddin'! But seriously, my wife (the money boss, even though I make most of it) says it's not gonna happen. She wants to hold out for the dual 3ghz G5 (I am a power user). So I'm not complaining about waiting. The mini would be a nice second system (or actually 4th counting my two current systems). I bet they'll add quicktime support to the iPod photo in the next year though.

[cb911]

yep, 3G 20GB iPod for me. got it with the bundle deal Apple had (only for students i think) where you bought a PowerBook and got $300 or so off an iPod. i was getting a new AlPB anyway, so how could i pass up an offer like that. :D

[colinet]

I play my MP3s from an SD card in my Tungsten T3. I thought about a 1 gig Shuffle, quite like it, but I can get a 1 gig SD card for the Palm for less and have all the extra things non of the iPods have - bluetooth, big colour screen, photo and video, voice recording without an add on etc etc etc . . .

Don't get me wrong I love Apple after all I've got a 2 gig dual G5, a G4 iBook, and G3 iMac, a Beige G3 and a 23" display. . .

I've got a Tungsten as well and have played music on it, but the shuffle is so easy to turn on and off, skip tracks, turn volume up/down. That, for me, is the beauty of the thing. I'm finding myself using it more than my 60Gb iPod!

[colinet]

But I wouldn't want to hang a Tungsten T3 around my neck and go jogging :)

Hey, I wouldn't want to actually go jogging :) but I am tempted by the shuffle and will probably succumb.

[topperdog]

Just bought an IPOD Shuffle 1G and love it. Really is a great item for people who are wanting an MP3 or other audio device to run/bike/work out with. I also love the fact that the volume on the device can really put out some dB, unlike other divices I have used where they are set to max volume at all times just so you can hear the music. Also use it for data transfers like a USB stick.

I probably will get a few for my family and friends as well.

Thumbs up.

I have had no issues with the ITunes software either. I was a bit worried I would have to do some troubleshooting when first pugging in the Shuffle.

[zwida]

I'm with topperdog. Love the 1 GB iPod shuffle. Actaully makes me more interested in going to the gym (which always helps...). Have bought it for friends (and am waiting for it to arrive long long after Valentine's Day :( ).
