Mine is a 10GB refurb that only cost $189. Worth every cent. Don't think I'd like it as much if I had paid full price.

3. battery life is nowhere near 8hrs
4. earbuds impressed me but suck sometimes

My battery get about 8 hrs on my 30gb.. my ipod isnt scratched at all and I've had it for over 6 months.. the earbuds are decent, and the firewire interface is FAST and comes standard on most new motherboards, and creative cards :) It's a neat device.

the firewire is a plus for me... i like firewire. as for the add-ons.. i bought an ipod to play music.. not to use it as a card reader or voice recorder. IMO, if you're going to do that, ipod isn't for you.

but alas... i sold my ipod.... and got its little brother ;)

The poll options don't go far enough to describe how much I still love my first gen 5 gig iPod.

same here. I bought my 10GB on e-bay about a year ago, as a graduation present to myself.

since I switched jobs, I've been using it a lot less, though. at my previous job, I had either a 2 hour commute by subway/ferry, or an hour commute by driving. so my iPod replaced my radio. which my new job, though, my commute it only about 15 minutes in each direction.

the only time I ever break it out is when my friends want to yank MP3's from me, and for my monthly 6-hour road trip to PA.

Profit, with a capital P!
