One thing I miss is the FM radio from my previous MP3 player. How about a titanium version for $50 or $100 bucks more? The unit looks good and feels sturdy although I am not too fond of the stain less steel back. The sound generated is very good and the picture quality of movies on this unit is amazing. I have copied over 800 songs, multiple videos, pictures and movies and have not reached 10GB of use yet. I have always purchased all the tech toys and have been putting this toy to the test. I think that scroll wheel could be enhanced to be more sensitive or add a setting to sensitize it when placed in a case. It works great but when I use the unit in the gym in a case with a plastic face, the scroll wheel is not easy to use. Ideal user: Nomads, the Internet cafe crowd, anyone working on a computer without admin rights for installing applications.I bought this 80GB iPod as a refurbished unit and so far have no complaints other than a minor scratch on a corner of the screen thankfully it is not very visible when viewing movies or videos.
