This is a smashing little device for listening to music files or watching your video clips on the move. As always Apple's design is sleek, stylish and highly ergonomic. As far as battery life is concerned you should get about 30 hours if you're listening to music or 5 hours for video clips.
The iPod 80 GB comes with plenty of features. There are different categories into which you can place your music files. Cover-flow allows you to scroll through albums - you just click on one to play it. You can also access music according to the artist, composer, album, genre, songs, audio books you've purchased from iTunes or via your own play lists. There's also a simple search function to search for an individual track.
I really liked the video capacity of the player. There are categories for movies, TV shows, music and your own play lists. Music videos are impressive and show up crystal clear on the large iPod screen, although they are expensive if you buy them from iTunes. Personally I buy nothing from iTunes. You can also browse through up to 20 000 photos on your iPod which look just as sharp as the videos. There is an option for pod casts but it's not something that appeals to me. There are plenty of extras that include a clock, calendar, contacts, alarm, games, notes, screen lock, stopwatch. The calendar allows you to make a to-do list and shows you if you're alarm is on. The alarm can be synchronised with your favourite song. Three games are supplied with the - vortex, klondike and iPod Quiz. You can download more from iTunes at around £4 a game.
There is an impressive arrangement of settings that give you control over your files. By pressing various combinations of buttons you can determine how much memory you have left, how many songs or videos etc are stored. There are also shuffle, volume setting, brightness and repeat options. An effective equaliser allows you to set acoustic, bass and other effects. You should be able to enhance even the most trashy music file.
The snazzy earphones are also a joy to plug into your auditory orifices. In terms of sound reproduction however, I have come across far better quality headphones and it might be worth your while investing in a pair. Leaving this aside I really like the space age design and the whole ergonomic experience of this cutting edge portable technology.
