The latest edition of the flagship Ipod model. If you've been wanting one of these for a while, but have lacked the funds, now may be a good time to buy one now that they're cheaper :) Unless you have a massive music/media collection you want to be able to fit all of onto a portable device, or you like ripping your music at high Kbps rates, you may be better off saving some money and getting one of the Ipod nano's or a similar player, otherwise this thing is great at what it's designed to do. Instead of writing a super-long review about it, I'm going to highlight the pros and cons I found.
Pros
Massive storage space @ 80 GB (I have over 1,000 songs loaded onto it so far, and room for plenty plenty more!)
Ease of use (The clickwheel makes operation quick, easy, and fun)
Large aftermarket support (There are lots of readily available accessories for the Ipod if you need them)
Cons
The stock headphones aren't that great (If you like optimum sound quality, you're definitely going to want a better paid of headphones than the ones that come with it)
Not the best to run with (The hard drive based design = moving parts, which don't fare too well when they're bouncing and flying around. But that's the price of all that storage space!)
Sometimes the click-wheel can freeze for a second, and sometime songs take a brief moment to load
Lack of AM/FM radio built into the unit (not a big deal for me, but may be to some)
Overall though, it's a great product, and if the thought of buying a mass storage media player with tons of available accessories and aftermarket support appeals to you, then the Ipod if for you!

I was happy when I first received the Ipod because the physical condition looked very nice - no scratches, etc. And it worked fine for about 2 months. Then one day while listening the audio went very bad, every song could barely be heard through static, and we could not get it to work properly again. Thankfully Overstock let me return and gave a full refund, I was very impressed with that. But overall, I think for the small amount you are saving, its not worth it - just go buy a new one.

My husband & I are in our 60's and find the features great and for the most part easy to use. Would recommend this highly. We take it everywhere with us just so we can listen to our music or to podcasts. Now we have upgraded to pictures on it.

First Ipod did not charge and had to return. Second Ipod, so far has been working great. Customer service was great in handling the return and sending out the replacement in a timely manner.
