Back on topic, post some pictures of it out of the box maybe?  The back of the box doesn't do it justice.

I'm not sure what people can do with the S/N and stuff, but better cross/blur it out :p

Anyway, congrats d00d. Another victory for Apple's marketing machine.

what can they do? say they want a refund and they have a serial number? i think they also need the merchandise also to get their 400 dollars back. lol good one.

With the S/N, people can request for a free pair of ear buds from Apple support.

The most depressing part about iPod is that it is assembled in China. Since I bought two 4G iPods, I can clearly tell that their quality control is not great at all.

If you did not get your iPod engraved, good job because of the quality control in California.

If you got your iPod engraved, you are taking a chance of a tons of minor defects as it is shipped directly from Shanghai to United States without much quality control.

For example, you are more likely to get a screen with rainbow color on it. The "On Hold" button may be movable in more than two directions. Finally the click-wheel is actually above the white case surface horizontally. Anyway, if I buy another iPod from Apple directly, I will never get it engraved.

Joshwm, if you update the firmware to 3.0.2, the battery power actually lasts up to 12 hours for me. However, different bit-rate and format will result in differnet milegage in play time. I am not too worried.

After they engraved my iPod, I noticed that the steel case is not flat (the back surface of iPod) as opposed to one without any engravement.

The 4G iPods are the furthest from collector's items... You could consider the 1G a collector's item, the iPod mini or the iPod photo might be considered a bit of a stretch...but that's about it. There wasn't any real innovation from the 3G to the 4G model.

The value will never double unless you have all of the generations in their boxes.... The value will more than likely only decrease unless you wait at least 50 years...if not more heh.

you should sell it all and get a much better mp3 player and have some cash left over

What would you consider a better mp3 player? An iPod photo, an iRiver, I doubt one can consider the zen a "much better" mp3 player?

    • Not such a great deal, Ultimate, which gives you full 5080 features is $181.99 CAD per month, that's $2183.88 per year, I can buy the 5080 for $1809.99 CAD, then it goes up to $279.99 per month after the first billing cycle. Typical cloud rental, costs more than buying the hardware.
    • Wow, spoken like a true blind hater, you don't even provide arguments. Please, go check my comment above to @seacaptain and you'll find out why what you say doesn't make sense in this context...
    • Get used to this, with AI tooling now uncovering new vulns and getting them exploitable far faster than has ever been possible before software is going to need to be updated far more frequently. Back in the day it may take reseachers weeks or months to do what AI can now do in hours. Once its a threat is discovered it's weaponsized far more quickly, meaning you simply can't be waiting 2, 3, 4 weeks to deploy a patch, it needs to be patched immediately. Going to be interesting handling this in the enterprise space where traditionally patching has been steady, but very staged (and rightly so up until now), that is going to have to change.
    • You don't need to "close all browser sessions constantly" or wait for updates to install. The updates download in the background while you use the browser, without interrupting you, they install automatically the next time you launch the app. And they install very fast (depending on your storage speeds, of course), you have to wait at most 2-3 extra seconds, if any. Seems like you haven't used Edge in a loooooooong time...
