Yes, it's pretty, but not ready for PCs!!!
I was really excited about getting an Apple Ipod. When I got it, I was impressed with the package, the display, and the size of the unit. However, when I plugged into my new Dell PC, my computer failed to recognized it at first. After several tries, the computer recognized the unit and froze up.
I was instructed, before I purchase the Ipod, that I should upgrade the firmware at the the Apple site and reboot. I did, and the unit crashed on me.
I wanted this unit to work so bad that I worked on it for 2 hours and it still didn't work.
I have seen people with the Ipods and I am sure they are Apple users. There is no reason in the world that this unit, for the money I paid for it, should have problems working right out of the box. Especially, if I used on a new computer.
It just simply is not constructed for PC/Windows use.
I am giving this one star becuase the display and size was nice, but the frustration of getting it to work was too much.
If you have an Apple (based on the other reviews)get an Ipod. If you don't, don't say I didn't warn you.
