Way easier than explaining your musical taste to your family
Finally there is a way for your family to buy you music without having to explain to them why the guys from Slipknot dress like clowns.<br /><br />Nice also that you can get an iTunes gift certificate without having to setup an account (try guiding Grandma through that once...)

iTunes Gift Card
This is the ultimate tool for downloading music quickly and cheaply. After downloading iTunes on Apple.com, you canset up an account with the Apple music store. Downloading is just a click away, a song can be yours in just under 15 seconds. This is great for someone with a diverse taste in music (like myself) as you do not have to buy the whole album if you only like the one song. I am a DJ in my spare time and get almost all my music from these cards. There is no threat of identity theft because you do not need to give your creidit card number ( I am paranoid about security). ... Read more

Not worth it
Before I used to think that i would be worth the prive that it was set at, I was wrong. I mean this does serve its purpose and does everything it says, but it is just too overprivced. I could see this at $15, maybe $20, but $40 is just outragous. If you are planning on buying an ipod, buy a 20 or 40 gig, if you really want this. Sepreately, it is just a waste of money.

Nice work if you can get it
Let's put it this way: I think the dock is great. Aesthetically is much more pleasing to see my iPod propped up securely in this sturdy little accessory. Functionally, the line out jack is great for hooking up to a stereo. And for the sake caution, I prefer having a spot to place this pricey little unit in, rather than just leaving it lying down, just waiting for the first inadvertant soda can to be set on it, or crushed under a stack of books, and so on.

The price doesn't really bother me; it could be lower, but it's not prohibitive, considering how much you just paid for your iPod. And that's why overall, I'd give the dock 4 stars...

... But not 5. Because having said all of that, it's really sort of chintzy of Apple to make one have to pay extra for a basic component and, when all is said and done, one you don't necessarily actually need. So, in the end, it's nice, if you can get it -- but if not, you're not missing much.

too expensive, but...
For 40 bucks you get the dock, which is nice. For 75 you get the dock, a Monster Cable audio connection cable with RCA connectors; the Apple USB-iPod cable and the Apple power adapter. Apple calls this its stereo connection kit. In May 2004 it's $5 cheaper on Amazon than at apple.com. Seventy-five bucks is too much for this, too, but bought separately, I know these items would cost quite a bit more than $75.

You do need the dock to use the line-level output to your stereo. While it's true the variable output headphone connection works fine, the line-level output provides higher fidelity and eliminates the risk of overloading the inputs on your pre-amp or receiver.

If you don't have an iPod yet and you love music, especially if you travel on airplanes, you need one. Just know that podding, like most other things, is a bit of a money pit.

Probably not worth it, but handy
The iPod dock may not be worth the price - but it *is* handy if you are into convenience. My iPod came with a bundled dock and I keep in on my desk for charging/syncing.

The dock is well designed - seems solidly built and is nice and small. It's also nice how it doesn't have any cables hanging out of it like most docks seem to - you just plug in the regular iPod cable to the back and that's it.

I've seen people who have two iPods leave one dock in the living room by the stereo equipment. The audio out jack on the back of the dock allows you to hook it up to your stereo and you can use the dock cable to plug in to the AC charger. This lets you quickly snap the iPod into its dock to charge and listen to music - however, if you only have one iPod, you'll want to buy an additional cable along with the extra dock so you don't always have to unplug it to sync with your computer.

If you're not feeling cheap, I guess it's handy.

Other functionality
The iPod dock does more than just make the iPod "stand up." It also provides a line-out which is a much better way of connecting it to a steroeo sytem than going through the headphone jack. Pricey? Yes, but worth it for some. ... Read more

I finally got it right
I confess it took me a while to get the hang of these little guys, that's why I'm giving them 4 stars only. Having tried my friends original headphones and realizing they were very unconfortable and actually hurt my ears after wearing them for a while, I decided to buy the in-ear Apple headphones when I first got my ipod. At first I tried the medium and the small ear caps since I don't have particularly big ears, but as it has been mentioned before I only managed to get them stay into place when I wasn't moving, excercising or chewing! To my surprise when I tried the large size caps they stayed in my ears even when jogging! What a delight! I'm no sound electronics expert or anything, just a regular music lover, and I must say that with these headphones I have discovered sounds in my favourite songs that I didn't even know were there! A little tricky at first but in the end, a satisfying purchase.

Baloney, these earphones are terrific!
I've got 15 sets of headphones and earphones surrounding me as I write this, and the iPod in-ear phones blow away all of the ear buds and most of the headphones.

They're probably only 4 or 4.5 stars, but I gave 'em 5 to offset the 1-star reviews. Maybe these guys got pre-production phones or had problems with them; mine are excellent. The only complaint I agree with is that cord sounds are transmitted to your ears, so you have to take extra care positioning the cord. But I'd rather have that than having ear buds jiggle when I run or even walk down stairs.

Regarding the tone, they're much flatter in frequency response than ear buds. The lows are not exaggerated, and the highs are very articulate--the ear bud fans probably never heard the highs from their iPods before. They sound very much like my Sennheiser HD 280 Pro phones.

There OK
well the sound is clear and pretty-comfortble, but if you have a ipod and the headphones that came w/ it are a hole lot better, The "IN-ear headphones" dont have bass, only a little bit of bass, so it would rate the "IN-ear headphones" 2 out of 5 and the ones that came with the ipod 5 out of 5 (they are just a little big or small (differs on ear size) (of course). so dont get them, if you dont care about bass and all that junt then i guess u might want then

Great Fit!!
This are the only earphones that fit in my ears. I love the sound of them and I would highly recommend them.

Not On My Wish List
My Headphones were working great but i dont know what's going on with them..my sound is sounding horrible and the wire is very weak so u can get a short very fast.DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY! ... Read more

Great, but cord is way too long
They are great, the sound quality is great, and the remote is extremely handy. My one and only complaint is that the cord can become annoyingly long. It is basically the normal headphone length, doubled with a remote in the middle.

The remote is fun and handy, and works when your iPod is on hold. The play/pause turns it on and off when held down as the normal button does. It also has it's own hold button. Overall, it's great. However, I think the cord could be shorter and if the price was lower, or you could buy them for cheaper w/out the included normal headphones (and use the money to buy a different type, use the ones you have or whatever) then this would be great.

4 stars

Price is set at real value
Although these may not be the best earphones, they are exceptional, especially for the price. Just about the best earphones you can get cost about $500, but if you want exceptional, but not the best, these earphones are for you. The remote, along with your ipod comes in handy if you have your ipod in your pocket, or if you have it in a case. The little remote if fun to have, because it makes it so easy to adjust the volume, and it creates joy in the user. I think that this is a good pair for $40, especially the earphones. Unless you are willin to spend $120 or more, these are the best earphones for their price.

Nice remote, problematic ear phones
I like the remote - it is well designed and easy to use. It features a pause/play button, track skip (forward and backward), volume, and a hold button so you don't hit the buttons by accident. Especially handy when the iPod is in its case.

The earphones sound pretty good, however, it's hard to keep them from falling out of your ear which is a shame.

Also, the white color of everything is good and bad - on one hand, it's fun because you advertise that you're using an iPod to everyone. On the other hand, it's bad for the same reason because they're so distinctive, some one may steal your iPod!

Fantastic features and sound, but some problems
The remote control for iPod is inspired. I love it, and use it all the time. It's fragile, though, and I've been through two of them, working on my third, in less than two years. I had the remote in my purse, dropped my purse, and a nail polish bottle falling on the remote caused the back cover to break off. Not good.

The earphones have great, great sound, tremendous range, but... They are much too big for my ear canals. Wearing them for longer than fifteen minutes is painful. I'm investing in Sony earbuds for this reason. They tend to fit smaller ear canals better, and the EX-71SLB Fontopias definitely fit better, with their three sizes of bud covers. Can't go wrong there.

Excellent device!
I use my IPod mini mostly at the gym. The remote is a handy little device that clips into either the mini, or full-sized IPod. The earphones produce great sound, but like so many "in-ear" devices fall out easily. Apple really needs to produce and include an "over the ear" type of headset.

The remote control has a clip so it can be attached to clothing. It is fully functional, including volume and hold switches.

Buy some decent Sony headphones, and you've got quite a good combo. ... Read more

expensive
I haven't actually tried this armband, but wanted to tell you about my discovery: I was about to buy this $30 item, when I realized that my new mini iPod fits my radio armband strap like it was made for it!(Sony Walkman Radio SRF-M80V, the orange and white one that it seems like every runner I see has) So check what you already have before purchasing--I run with it every day!

GREAT product, BAD price.
Thie armband is a wonderful THEFT DETERRANT. Though velcro, is a safer bet than the eprovided ipod clip.

Putting on and taking off the arm band is just involved enough to prevent theft or loss. Before a theft could be completed, it would be noticed by the wearer.

But, the amazon price is bad. Go to comp usa or microcenter.

A must have exercise accessory
If you plan on using your iPod Mini while exercising, you need to get this great arm band! The velcro closer holds tight (but not too tight) and doesn't slip while you are jumping around or running on the treadmill. It fits so nicely on my arm that I often forget I'm even wearing it.

People have complained about the price, but this was a thirty bucks well spent for me. I don't leave home without it!

Nice, but expensive.
I found the armband very convienient and comfortable. I even threw it in the wash a couple times (note: I have a front loading wash machine--gentler on clothes.) It compliments the Ipod very nicely and slides onto the Ipod very slick-like. As other have mentioned, it is pricey. That's why I gave it 4 stars.

Very convenient
Nice quality device, velcro with high quality leather band. Price is a bit steep but worth it. When I exercise it's not convenient to hold my ipod the whole time, I need the arm band so it becomes like a part of me. Unlike some, I don't have time to 'make my own' and there are no armbands which fit ipods in particular, so this is the only option. Good thing the quality doesn't suffer.-Andre G Clovers ...

This connects an I-POD to a PC's USB Port 1.0 or 2.0
I get an IPod from someone. It's cable doesn't fit my USB port on my PC. I found out it came with a fire-wire cable. I searched for fire-wire to USB cable changer, but I found they don't exist. I saw this (Apple iPod Dock Connector-to-FireWire-and-USB 2.0 Cable), but I thought you had to have an I-Pod Dock and I didn't know what it was. Well, the Dock Connector refers to the port on the bottom of all I-Pods. You plug the "dock" connector to the bottom of your I-Pod (it's dock), and now you can plug the USB cable to your PC's USB port, whether you have 1.0 or 2.0 (2.0 is just faster). Also, now you take the extra fire-wire cable and plug it to your charger, so you can keep charging while your using your I-Pod on your PC. The alternative is buying a fire wire card and installing it in your PC, a little more expensive, a litte more work.

Works as Advertised
I use this to hook my new iPod up to my USB 2.0 PCI card. This can only be used with the new iPod, as it uses the Dock Connector. My thoughts:

USB 2.0 worked relatively well. A few things that users should know: USB 2.0 shares bandwidth with all devices that are using the master hub. Therefore, the more you have hooked up, the slower the speed for each device is. I happen to just be using the iPod with my USB 2.0 PCI card. Another note: the iPod cannot take full advantage of USB 2.0. The iPod can only handle the 400 Mbps data transfer rate that FireWire supplies. The extra 80 Mbps does not make a difference in this situation.

Using this cable initially for my iPod (my computer's OS is Windows XP), I found the installation painless, and it works as advertised.

Pretty Straightforward to Use, but Great Anyway
Basically, most people don't have a Mac computer, so most people only have USB connectors on their computers. So go to TARGET and get this Dock Connector for $14.95. It works great for USB ports, and the great Apple interface makes updates a breeze. Overall, great product for computers other than Macs.

Fuctional
I was surprised by the fact that the USB cable wasn't included with my iPod, I was disappointed when I first got my iPod and wanted to put songs on it. It needs to be clearer that this cable is necessary for Windows users without FireWire ports. Also, if you look at the information on iPod on apple.com, it makes it sound like the dock is also a necessary purchase for a Windows, when it actually isn't. This product works fine, no flaws after almost a year of owning an iPod.

the only choice for most
the cold hard facts today are that most people do not have a MAC computer. its also a fact that most computers have USB ports, not fire wire. You have two alternitives: a fire wire card for around 40 dollars, or this cable for around 20 dollars, you make the choice. if your like me, the only thing you would use the fire wire card for would be your iPod, which to me seems like a waste of 20 bucks, but if you have a lot of fire wire appliances, then you may wanna pick up the card. For any other reason than that, this cable is the only solution.
On the upside, you can dowload music on to the iPod and have it plugged into a power outlet at the same time so your iPod doesnt run out of batteries half way through downloading, thus cancelling your download. This isnt such a big problem for MAC users, since the iPod actually charges while downloading, but for windows users, most of us, it sucks the batteries dry when downloading. This cord is almost a given necasity for PC users, inless you want to waste 20 bucks! ... Read more

Come on!
They say it is soo easy to dock the Ipod mini. WRONG! My Ipod mini got scratched, so thats when I decided to put the skintight cover on, to cover it up. Then I got a regular Ipod dock, and thanks to the cover my Ipod mini fit perfectly, and not only was it cheaper, I got the same things that the mini dock could do.

No Cables !!! (useless?)
Hi
I ordered this along with my Ipod Mini (which is back ordered), I'm very suprised and disapointed that this is just a little piece of plastic with 2 connectors: I was (wrongly...) assuming that ordering this meant I could have 1 connection at work and another at home... it is actually not useful on its own...

Dock your mini without the scratches!
As has been pointed out on message boards, you don't need the mini dock to dock your mini! The standard iPod dock works just fine. If you put the belt clip that came with your mini on it upside down, you can use it to brace the back of your mini and it stands up fine in the larger dock. The larger dock is also cheaper!

No Good Use
There is no good use to this. If you want to connect your iPod to your home stereo system, just use a FM transmitter. They actullaly work better! And all this does is scrtach up the front and ruin your precious iPod mini.

Necessary evil
As another reviewer noted, the dock is necessary to play your music through a stereo. The dock provides the required 'line out' function to hook to your reciever. It also serves as a cradle for charging the iPod. A fm transmitter will also allow you to play the ipod through the stereo reciever, but what you get is radio sounding tunes instead of stereo quality.
Another reviewer said the dock stratches the front of the ipod. I haven't yet had this trauma, and would probably cry if it were to happen. I push my ipod in at an angle, and it seems to avoid that nasty problem.
My only complaint is that for what you have to pay for an ipod, it should be included and not a separate extra. Docks are included with ipods over 15 gigs, so why do the little guys have to pay more? ... Read more

??
Why on earth would anyone buy applecare from amazon.com? I mean, really, come on.

Question is, who serves who?
Be prepared to hear Apple's Service Representative tell you that, "Amazon is not an authorized reseller" and that you must fax them a copy of your sales/shipping document, and also fax them a copy of the enrollment number of the service plan along with its bar code (which is on one of the sheets of paper inside the "protection plan" package).

If you have a fax machine at your fingertips, I guess this isn't a really big deal, but if you don't, and if you are handicapped and can only walk with great difficulty, you might decide the whole thing really isn't worth the hassle.

Also be prepared to read your iPods serial number which is indistinctly, dimly, and microscopically etched into the backside of your machine. My tired, old eyes required my best magnifying glass with intense light to make it out, and even then I managed to mistake 2 Qs for Os on my first attempt.

On my first request for service I found the iPod representative to be pleasant enough, even affable; but, upon reflection I realized that other than to recite the things I must FAX to them, she hadn't so much as given me the time of day, let alone an answer to the question I had asked her.

Expensive, limited coverage
Considering that this policy only extends the warranty for one year, it is expensive. Coverage for the iPod's biggest problem, its battery, is vague. Apple simply defines as non-defects some apparent battery problems, such as the fact that the battery drains very rapidly when the unit is not in use and turned off. Plus, the battery can drop drastically in usage time, and Apple protects itself by saying this: "Service coverage is available ... for battery depletion of 50 percent or more from original specification." What other company clearly states that precipitous product failure is not covered by either the original or extended warranty?

For just Pennies a day....Peace of Mind!
The iPod and iTunes redefine what digital music should be: great audio on a superlight device with stunning design, fast download speeds, and ample storage for your music collection. Now, with the AppleCare Protection Plan for iPod, you can be sure that your music will play on.

One number to call for world-class support
Because Apple creates both the iPod and iTunes, they form a truly integrated digital music solution. If you ever have a question about their use, you'll have direct telephone access to Apple's own technical support group-the people who know iPod and iTunes best. AppleCare representatives can help troubleshoot your iPod and its connection with iTunes.

Apple offers the same complete service for both Mac and Windows users.

Investment protection
Every iPod comes standard with 90 days of phone support and one year of hardware service coverage.The AppleCare Protection Plan extends your service and support coverage for your iPod, its included accessories, and iTunes to up to two years from the original purchase date of your iPod.With this plan, you get direct access to Apple experts for answers by phone and anytime access to web-based resources. If your iPod or the included accessories should need service, Apple-certified technicians will repair it or provide a replacement using genuine Apple parts.

It's recommended that you purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan with your new iPod to take maximum advantage of the coverage the plan provides. This comprehensive plan is available for all iPod models, within their one-year limited warranty, that connect to either Macintosh computers or Windows PCs.

Peace of mind at home or on the road
With the iPod, you can take your entire music collection everywhere you go. But should your iPod need service, the AppleCare Protection Plan gives you the peace of mind of knowing that Apple provides global repair or replacement coverage.

Sleek, but not practical nor cheap
I think the Apple case is great if you want only a sleek genuine Apple case to hide your precious Ipod. On the other hand, The case itself is very impractical and doesn't really secure or protect anything. I have a 4th generation 40gb Ipod and I find it annoying to have to pull it out of the case to manipulate the click wheel everytime. There are better cases out there for far less money and better access to your precious cargo.

be careful!
DON'T keep your baby in this carrier. It's like driving with your child in the front seat, airbag on and no seatbelt through heavy traffic. You are an accident waiting to happen. The Belkin wallet holder has much more padding but no belt holder. I haven't found the perfect holder yet but I'm still on the lookout. The ipod needs to be firmly secured with padding all around the edges, attatched to your body at all times, yet you have to be able to easily access the front of it. Get that perfect case on the market people!!

Come on Apple we're paying for something better!
When I recieved my first Ipod 20gb I was really disapointed with the case that came with it. Apart from killing the Ipods good looks I dropped it twice in the first two days because of the rather weak clip. Not only was I dissapointed with the above mentioned, but I couldn't believe that Apple made a case with no protection on the corners for a product that beggs care and attention. I don't know what the statistics are but there is a good chance that if the Ipod takes a fall it will hit the corner at some point in the disaster!
When I recieved my new 40gb Ipod with the dock I couldn't believe that Apple were still sending this case out with a product of this class. Surely someone has made this complaint to the company during the last few years! I gave it a two only because the material it is made of is reasonable quality and it functions - if you dont drop it and are extremly careful when using the clip.

Beware of gravity....
This is a great case, unless you turn it upside down. It's a sleeve, and doesn't have a latch or snap at the top. This may not seem like much of a problem, but then I didn't expect to be turning it upside down. Accidentally. Five feet above a tile floor. (Okay, so Apple replaced my iPod after that one. But still, it was unpleasant.)

The belt clip will only take limited abuse (as will any product). Mine broke last weekend while I was carrying too much luggage on vacation. A shoulder bag pushed too hard against the belt clip, and snapped it off.

This product works well, but if your life is at all adventurous, try another product.

Handy
I use my Ipod at work, in the car, and at home, so there it moves around a lot. I like this case for when I am in and out of the car. It clips securely, protects well and is still sleek. This was a must for me when I am on the road. ... Read more
