I had, well I actually still HAVE but I can't USE, a Memorex iMove Mi3005.

I paid around $100 for it and really loved using it for the two years it lived. We're pretty well-stocked in the way of iPod accessories (iLuv clock/radio, iPod dock on our surround sound, iTravel, and then our PCs themselves), so I only actually used it outside and on a couple of family vacations. For us it did the trick, playing my iPod while relaxing with friends outside during our 3 1/2 months of summer here PLUS it was portable enough to take when we went away. I loved the way it looked with its built-in handle, and never thought the sound was lacking. I actually never thought anything about it was negative at all. Until now.

Just today, after not using it for the past eight months I plugged it in and went to turn it on and NOTHING! The power pack attached to the electric cord shows the green light, but hit that on/off button and absolutely nothing happens. Oh, well, the display did illuminate for a nano-second on one or two of my tries, but that was about it. Googled the problem and it seems I'm not alone. Quite a few others have posted this issue in several different forums but there's not ONE solution posted at all...just that others are indeed experiencing the same problem.

So I'm kind of in the middle here. I liked it a lot, but I bet I'd used it no MORE than 40 or 50 times. Was it worth the money for two years of only occasional use? Ummm, for me, no. And I'm kinda bummed because ***I*** was the one who out-and-out refused to take my boombox down to the beach for fear of ruining it (always stayed up in the beach house)! So it was well taken care of...nothing I did to cause this problem, of that I'm sure.

Take this for what it's worth. They've REALLY come down in price so you might want to give it a shot...it wasn't a bad product while it worked. As for me, I just bought a Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere. We're going to see if we have better luck with that one!

my boss got one of these as a chrismtas present and keeps it in the office, and it works great! obviously it doesnt produce super awesome amazing sound, but it sounds just fine for one room. so i bought one of these at target, on sale for 50 bucks. brought it home and it did not work at all. no power. so i had to bring it back and decided to try again. bought another one, and it worked! well, kinda. once i put the ipod in the dock, i could not do anything with the ipod. if it was playing a song, then it would play through the speakers, but once it ended the ipod would pause and not do anything. i was quite disappointed, and decided not to bother trying again.

I bought the I-Move at Target for $68.99 in Teal Blue. Its a basic Ipod stereo good for your home or office. It has enough sound for a room. Its doesnt have the most advance features. But just pop your ipod in and your all set to jam.
