Introduction

Editor's Choice

The iPod photo is another great piece of Apple engineering that takes what could be a remarkably cumbersome idea and executes it with ease. Not much has changed from the original iPod menu navigation, which has been the pinnacle of efficient user interface since its introduction. The added photo slideshow ability, color screen and larger hard drive offerings are a step forward, but the Windows software is still buggy at best. Also, with so many iPod accessories, the slight change in form factor has caused many case companies to go scrambling back to the drawing board. Even so, the iPod remains the best easy-to-use MP3 player available.
