Strengths: impressive battery life, very tiny and light, feels sturdy, extremely intuitive operation
Weaknesses: headphones are weak, no wall charger
Summary: When I finally received my new iPod, I was up and running in only a few minutes. The installation CD basically installed itself... there was no troubleshooting. Also, iTunes made it too easy to configure playlists and upload them into my iPod.
This is the best mp3 player I have ever used. I tried out a friend's Dell Pocket DJ and it was awful! It was not straightforward, its scroll barrel was very awkward and my friend complained battery life was very poor. I also took a look at the Creative Zen Micro and the Rio Carbon, but their build seemed very cheap.
The only real con is that it doesn't have a wall charger, it only comes with a USB2.0 cable. I was initially amazed at how fast my iPod charged off the USB port, but then I started wondering what I will do when I travel without my laptop... time to spend money on accessories! Also, I would like to note that even though the requirements say you need USB2.0 or firewire, I have been able to use a USB1.1 port just fine. It's a little slower, but it works!
