I have been using this since nine months and it has never given any kind of problem till now! It is so handy that I can carry it everywhere and its size is so compact that it fits my small purse!!! It is my best companion and I use it mostly in the night time and during travelling.
According to my perception, music is the best companion for all ages at all times. Especially when we are alone! People who stay in hostels and far away from home will find it more useful. It is very user friendly.. It allows to create folders, so that we can store songs of different language in the respective folders.. FM is an added advantage to this invention!!! And the best thing is, it allows to record songs from FM.. I admit that one could find all these features in phone too!! But I guess one has to spend extra money to get these features and am sure no phone is so small and handy.
And ipod does not interrupt or irritate us by ringing when we are listening to our favourite music unlike what a mobile does!!! Hats off to this invention. I would suggest others to buy this too.
