It's an understatement to say that we loved the original 5GB and 10GB iPods; at the time, they were the best-designed MP3 players that we'd ever seen in terms of size, interface, and software syncing. But they weren't compatible with Windows, except via occasionally sketchy, third-party software. Plus, the original iPods lacked a remote control, a carrying case, and full sound controls. The Windows iPod works just as well as the Mac version once you get the files on the player, but syncing is not quite as elegant as it is with a Mac.
