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?

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
