Apple iPod 30 GB

Apple iPod Video 30GB - White iPod - Probably the world's best known MP3 player, designed and marketed by Apple in California. I have a white iPod Video 30GB purchased for £184.99 in Jersey. I had the advantage of purchasing the product tax free and at a slightly further reduced price, as this version of the iPod would usually retail for between £220-£250 in the U.K., dependent upon were you buy from. It looks like it would be cheaper to purchase ...
...something more practical from the apple store, as you are unable to access the control dial with the case that is provided and need to remove the iPod from the protective sleeve in order to do so. There are a number of additional accessories available, from small cost products, such a different coloured case shells and protective cases (very reminiscent of mobile phone accessories), to more expensive products, such as SoundDock Music system, acting ...

Review of Apple iPod 30 GB

...ounces (thanks goes to the Apple website for providing this information), the 30gb iPod is, I believe, the perfect size - you will never feel like you are dragging a house brick around, but also won't spend half your time patting your pockets to check that it is still there. For those of you planning to watch movies/tv shows on your iPod, the Apple website tells me that the screen is a 2.5 inch (diagonal) colour LCD with LED backlight, none of that ...
...the train/bus etc. While Apple advertises white and black versions of the 5G iPods this only relates to the colour of the front cover, the back of all iPods are silver, which looks lovely when you first get it out of the box but is very prone to scratching. I would highly recommend anyone to get one of the many covers which are available - personally I went for the Agent 18 cover which protects the whole iPod apart from the click wheel and lock ...

...technologically more advanced, than their Apple counterparts, and concluded that the only reason iPods had such a strangehold on the market was because of the sheep mentality of the consumer and their gullability for the latest fad. How wrong I was! You will be glad to hear that I renounced my self-righteousness when I was plagued with problems with my Zen Micro, with variously the headphone jack, the battery and then the player altogether failing ...
...not the newest of the Apple range, is in my opinion a masterpiece of technology. The sound is perfect, the display screen is an absolute dream (I almost screamed when I realised that I actually owned a player with a colour screen! I had of course been used to tiny Creative black-and-white display screens which now look so old-fashioned) and the player itself just looks magnificent. There are three things which I particularly love about this player. ...

On the Apple website, there are many tips on increasing your battery life, these include, keeping the iPod on hold, only turning on the backlight when necessary and not fast forwarding. iPod batteries are also able to lose there battery capacities after around four hundred charges. Therefore you would probably have to pay apple £50 to replace the battery. Menu On the main menu of the iPod, by default, you are presented with six ...

Review of Apple iPod 30 GB

If you scroll down my reviews you will see a review for the Sony Vaio. Please read that one first, as it will make this review much more understandable. Ok, so I sold out, joined the masses and bought myself an ipod. Worse still, I bought it after seeing my friends and thinking "ooooh, pretty". So despite the profoundly deep questions about myself my purchase has raised, I shall carry on and review this little gadget. Ipod is fast joining Walkman ...
...I actually had someone ask me the other day what the difference was between an ipod and an mp3 player. Starting with the look of the thing. It is a handsome brute. Perhaps a little too handsome actually. I bought mine in black, in the logic that it wouldn't be tattooed with dirt marks after 2 minutes. The back side of it is in chrome, which again, looks stunning. But because of the high gloss finish, simply picking the thing up and taking it out ...

...after the other until the apple logo flashes on the screen- this is supposed to be what you have to do once in a while if the Ipo'ds playing up, not almost everytime i want to turn it on! However I think it is just my ipod that does this, I just can't be bothered to send it back to the manufacturers as I have heard service can take a while. Stupid of me not to, but i'll live with it. So, once it's on- its brilliant! I have had many mp3 players, ...

...to get the one from Apple for £15. Also, the battery life is not great, but i suppose thats to be expected if you want something as small as the iPod Video. It will give you about 2 hours of video playback and about 8-10 hours of music (less if you keep turning on the backlight to change track/album etc). Having said that, I still think it's the best MP3 player around and would happily recommend it to anyone. ...

Not just with market increases in storage but the styling and software that revolutionised the mp3 market means that Apple are in for the long haul with the iPod.

...better right now than an Apple iPod 30gig or nano. However with an ever increasing number of owners, its likely that soon its not the must have thing, but the "got that... whats next?" gadget. If you like to stand out in the crowd and feel too many of your friends have an iPod, dont get an iPod. In terms of value for money, it all depends on what you are looknig for. If you want vast amounts of space there is the 60gig option as well as many other ...

...finally bought one of the Apple iPod Video in the hope of being able to carry around more than just a few CD's, and with the 30 Gig version I think I made a good choice. Over 1500 tracks on it so far and it's only at about 5 gig full. The design, like most Apple stuff, is cool. The black version reflects light with a beautiful glint and the controls are simple yet so powerfull. They consist of one switch (Hold) which lock out inadvertent touches ...

Review of Apple iPod 30 GB

I have had my Ipod for about 10 months now as my husband bought it for me in the US (which is where they are considerably cheaper i must add) and I love it, I take it to the Gym, in the car, on hols etc etc. Small, compact and fab!! So for you techno fobes out there what is an Ipod? An ipod is a handheld device, a bit larger than your average mobile phone, on which you can store your entire CD collection (depending on the size of your Ipod and your ...
...Ipod means it won't skip or jump when playing, so it makes it perfect for running or the gym. You can buy additional pieces of equipment to go with it to enable you to play it in the car or on your home hifi so you need never carry lots of CDs around with you and risk them being stolen if your car is broken into. I have a 30GB Ipod which means I can store 8,000 songs on it. I currently have only 4,500 and am struggling to fill it so I am guessing ...

Apple have done it again. they have produced yet another great MP3 player. this one with a colour screen, photo capability and a good sized hard drive. They can be used on either a Mac or awondows PC. The ipod Photo comes with two variations. one comes with a 20 GB hard drive, and the other with a 60 GB. They are both 10.4 cm in length and 6.1 cm in width but the 20 GB one is 1.6 cm thick and the 60 GB is 1.9 cm thick. this slight change in thickness ...

But i recomend buying them from the Apple online shop; this is only because if you buy them from a normal high-street shop they will either rip you off or they will not have any in stock. When you get your Ipod you will be provided with a piece of magical software for your computer, this is called iTunes. this ...

~#General Information#~ Now that Apple are bringing out their new nano iPod i thought to remind you of what i think is a wonderful creation, perhaps forgotten. The 30Gb memory holds about 7,500 songs. For me this is perfect, as i am an extreme music lover. I have all of my CD collection on it and a few more songs I have retrieved off friends and family. The whole iPod experience is easy to use. I always get questions like is it hard to use and ...

In you iPod library the new songs you add are automatically uploaded the next time you plug your iPod in. This feature is really handy and saves time. The exact same can be said for the pictures. All you have to do is set up the file from which you wish the data to be retrived. THe iPod photo supports, again, many phot formats. ...

When i first read bout the iPod I knew i had to get one, excitedly saved my money for months and finally bought one, great! At first it was the honeymoon period, all was great couldnt put the thing down, but it soon wore off, it seemed the hype of iPods wasnt all its cracked up to be. With the colour screen allowing you to put your favourite snaps on there to look at anytime any place and the abilty to put around 7000 of your favourite tunes on there ...
...there are a lot of problems. First of all the battery life, they say it has up to 12hours of life, well in truth its only around 6. If you let it run with out searchin for your music on it you might squeeze out a little more juice. Once the batteries gone, you have a 5 hour wait for it to come back to life, and even after a few hundred cycles or even less the battery says it cant takes no more! Game over.On the whole its atrocious if you compare ...

-=The Device Itself=- Specifications (according to Apple) Dimensions: 4.1 x 2.4 x 0.43 inches Weight: 4.8 ounces #The size and weight of the device really are incredible, it needs to be seen (well, held) to be believed Screen: 2.5" 320 x 240 pixel TFT display #The screen is a good size and the display is very sharp for pictures, video and general use. Capacity: 30GB #On mine, 27.8GB is usable for personal storage. This is more than enough ...
...#It really does vary depending on how you use it (video playback and backlight usage really is a drain), also, I believe the battery meter measures the amount of time remaining, as opposed to charge remaining, as switching from video playback to music playback can result in an increase in battery life. -=Music Playback=- With full MP3 support (although VBR support is rumoured to have some problems), the iPod will play the large majority of most ...
