First Impressions of 15 GB!:.:

Pros.:.

-Ultra-slim (the width of my pinky!)
-Great, amazingly simpler play buttons
-2.0 which is out of reach to 1st and 2nd gen. ipods
-dock (that word is powerful!)
-more games
-customizable menu
-nice light up orange buttons and blue backlight in the dark
-better resolution
-awsome features, firmware
-cleaner iPOD manager for Windows

Cons.:.

-shortened battery life
-clicks in between tracks
-crappy in-box case (as with older models)

Conclusion:

Overall, I love this more than my 20 gb i got for X-mas. I sacrificed that for 15 gb and did a smalldog.com trade in progg. It worked well and finally got here after backorder. Through all the difficulty of deciding, swapping, and trying to sell mine in time I'd have to say that it was well worth it! Got a 1st or 2nd gen ipod? Ditch it for this bad boy! PS i'm using ipod as we speak and playing 50 cent - blood hound so it got me fired up to write the review

Score: 10/10 (near flawless definitely best mp3 player on the planet)
