Disadvantages: needs a good sound card, some capture problems

Units regularly turn up on eBay so they should be fairly easy to find if you think it's the device for you. On with the review!

Review of Pinnacle Studio DC10plus

Ipod nano v3 video

Advantages: Everything, good sound, good picture quality, good battery life
Disadvantages: Its quite pricey but worth the money

and gives a very good picture. I was amazed when I watched a video on it the picture was actually better than my TVs. Battery The battery can last up to 24 hours it goes quicker the louder you listen to it, the more games you play on it and when you watch videos. Price The iPods start from £99.99 for a 4 GB version and for the 8 GB version it costs £129.99 the iPod is excellent values for money and you can't really fault it. Recommendation I would defiantly recommend this to any potential buyers it's a really good, easy to use mp3 player. Which has many features that other mp3s don't have such as the ability to play and download games and videos. It also has a decent screen size and quality. This ipod is a definate must. ...
