Product Functions: Voice Recorder
Strengths: Very good screen High speed computer sync Slim strong construction lots of add-on possibilites Good looking product
Weakness: Softwear/hardware gliches sometimes Scratches easy Complicated video import..( if your new to computers and mp3 devices) $$$
Good product with a few weakness's.I would recommended it but do not update your ipod rght away to the new 1.1 version.. it could cause problems. Also buy a protector for it as the included one gets dirty fast...
Strengths: Great sound, video is incredible (like an lcd tv), compact size, fantastic looks, ease of use, learnability
Weakness: scratches easily (you definitely need a screen protector), no wall charger included (available on ebay for about 10.00), battery life when playing videos.
This player is awesome, it holds a ton of music and pictures, and has superb sound even for an audiophile. You do need to get a standalone video converter for your mpegs, I use Free Ipod Video Converter from Jodix which works great after a small learning curve. I would recommend this player for anyone serious about music, if you only listen to music for an hour or so a day this is not the player...
Strengths: useful case; audio quality cleaned up; bigger screen; same easy interface; black!; slim; high quality finish (gap construction)
Weakness: surface can be scratched; no more firewire transfer support; recharge only through usb; no widescreen for video; incompatibilities with some iPod accessories
Those who are familiar with Apple's annual update of its iPod will appreciate the nuances and subtle improvements on the audio side. Bass distortion and piano distortion has been kept to a minimal. There is still some bass distortion but thankfully, it is not as evident as before. Also, because of the beautiful black finish, apple actually included a useful neoprene case this time. Of course,...
Strengths: Excellent audio quality Intuitive menus Beautiful screen
Weakness: Low battery life Scratches easily iTunes isn't exactly the best software available
Like the other iPods, the primary appeal of this 5th Generation is its aesthetics. People like iPods for their looks. It does look great, but the price per Gb is pretty high. First of all, you have to understand that this is built to be an mp3 player that can also play videos, not a video player that can play mp3s. The battery life while playing videos is a horrible 2 hours, though the crisp,...
Strengths: Huge storage capacity, great to use as a storage device for your digital camera, small size, good video quality, iTunes is great and easy to use
Weakness: Surface easily scratched, more noticable on black model, cheap carrying case supplied, no A/C charger included, uncomfortable, inferior headphones
Please disregard some of the beligerent reviews below - unfortunately some people just complain to complain - and when they use the term "waist of money", it's pretty obvious that their review is coming from a pretty dim place. The 60GB video ipod is elegant, stores a ton of songs and pictures, and has crisp playback of video. I bought some episodes of "The Office" on iTunes and was very happy...
Strengths: Cool black, sleek look; Strong sound quality; Ease of use
Weakness: Apple's different formatting for photos, etc.
I just bought my iPod 30G iPod with video last week and can't put it down. It holds 7,500 songs...what more can one ask for (besides 15,000 songs in the 60Gig version, but that's more than I think most will need). This has got to be by far the hottest present on everyone's list this year. While there are better solutions for watching video, none offers the combination of quality sound and...
Strengths: Screen has good resolution, easy to turn on and off, it doesn't matter if its black or white. You can watch movies on it.
Weakness: breakable, treat it like you'd treat your baby, do not drop or it will get screwed
Its good if you have a lot of music and pictures to share. If you like music videos get this you'll be watching music videos all day. One of my cousins owned one before me, that is how I know its breakable. Be Careful and Watch out, and perants out there, don't be overcautouse about this, if your kid wants one get him it. They'll love it and you forever.
Strengths: great quality, thin, easy to use.
Weakness: battery, scratched from looking at it wrong haha
this is a great ipod. I am over all satisfied with this product. I dont usually watch movies on my ipod but i bought it because of its storage capacity. I have over 5,000 songs and i'm 14. The price may seem high but compare it to the nano and your getting an excellent deal. The only thing i don't like about the new ipod is that the screen scratches so easily that if you look at it wrong it will...
Strengths: Video adds so much more, ease of use, decent price
Weakness: Battery Life, scratchability
What can I say? Apple has done a great job in its first foray into the video player industry. I know there has been a wide swath of criticism for the screen being too small and the video selections too slim, but for someone like me who has never owned an Apple, I am satisfied with the product. I've enjoyed the video podcasts, the music videos, and the DVD movies that I converted to MPEG 4 format...

How can you make the best MP3 player better? Add video of course.....
Top
If you want a one-stop solution for everything—music, video, podcasts, and more—the Apple iPod is your player. Unlike most PMPs, we'd use the iPod as our primary music device. Videos and TV shows we bought through the iTunes Music Store ($1.99 each) looked good on the iPod's 2.5-inch, 320 x 240-pixel screen. Apple has...

Apple iPod is hot. Whether you like it or not, whether you are a Windows or Mac freak or just that average consumer behind his desktop or notebook, Apple is everywhere. Of course the iPod also caught my eye, especially Apple's latest introduction; Apple iPod Video is of great interest to me. It features a sharp and colourful display and is able to show me my favourite video clips, films and...

Apple iPod Video 5th Generation 30GB

Great MP3 player
Strengths: Great sound, screen is great looking, videos play great, many new subtle features make for a great experience.
Weakness: Itunes is a terrible manager, getting widesreen to actually display as widescreen is tricky, you NEED a protector (I can't stress enough), no wall charger included.
This player is great for both new and longtime MP3 player fans. This was my first Ipod, my previous MP3 being a Rio Carbon. The unit itself is VERY nice and quick to learn. Video is presented clear with the bright 2.5" display. Music sounds great with the included earphones, and the unit is a lot smaller than I would have imagined, almost as small as the Rio Carbon. My problem with this product...
