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?

    • Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
    • That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.
    • Because of the EU (a good thing) newer android devices been getting 5 years worth of security patches. Except some Motorola which found the loop hole, and offer ZERO updates. In addition, Google for years have been making where it can patch some stuff by updating the core Google Play Store itself.  As echoed earlier,  you take the security risk in to your own hand beyond supported.
