...a little extra sound quality, Apple have introduced some earphones which slot into the ear to eradicate any outside noise polluting the sound quality - a bit dangerous for when crossing the road, but hey they do sound great! The ipod is very easy to use as the options are clearly set out. The interface when turned on allows you access to music, photos, videos, extras, settings and also gives you the option to shuffle songs or go back to what is ...
...from the PC but do Apple not realise we might/need to travel once in a while. Is it sensible taking your computer with you to Italy say?! I think not. This, I feel, is extremely cheeky of them! So ipods have a huge range of accessories to plug in, strap on and squeeze your ipod into. Whether it is a nano, shuffle or original, there are hundreds of gismo's and trinkets for you to play with. These, as well as the ipod itself, are costly so be aware ...

Review of Apple iPod 80 GB

The apple ipod (30GB-80GB) is a piece of hardware that should be pumping tunes into the ear drums of every person who likes a stylish, easy to use, snazzy and all round brilliant mp3 player.

What Audio formats can the Ipod play It can play MP3, AAC/M4A, Protected AAC, AIFF, WAV and Audible audiobook. if you ask me thats ...

Value for Money Now with prices ranging from £179- £300 depending on the model you choose you may think that the prices are very steep. and too be honest id agree with anyone who says that these items are very "pricey". ...

...easily be downloaded from the Apple website for free of course so it was not too much hassle. After plugging in the iPod using the USB cable to my computer and running ITunes I then of course wanted to add multimedia to it. However one point I overlooked was files needed to be in the ITunes library before adding to the IPod you couldn't simply drag and drop from another location which is slightly difficult but can be overcome fairly quickly. Once ...
...was best was to right click on my iPod in ITunes and select the option create 'create new play list' and then dragging from the library in ITunes to the play list so when you look at say Music on your iPod it will all be neatly under different play lists opposed to up to somewhat 20,000 songs all packed in together. Manual I found the manual to be quite thin and it also came with a French manual which I of course had no use for. However the process ...

You can actually feel the difference in the screen, if you have experience with previous versions of the iPods. What is even more amazing is that you can actually adjust the brightness using the settings menu or can even do it while watching a iTunes movie. That is a major development when compared to previous dull screens of iPod. The earphones have ...

Video compatibility is only limited to MPEG-4 (H.264-encoded video with the .mp4 or .m4v extension) and MOV files. Gapless playback is a wonderful capability as you can listen to tracks seamlessly. I have read that Apple claims the gapless playback to be a sophisticated cross-fade. Negative points ***************** What is surprising ...

...of silly and I think apple should have released black headphones to match the player. Also I don't like the sound quality on these earphones although they look very cool so I would suggest getting some good quality earphones such as the Sennheiser CX300. So far I haven't had a problem with my iPod and it has been very reliable. Another issue is that the screen gets scratched very easily so I would buy a case for your iPod to stop the screen from ...
...is very attractive so you wouldn't want to scratch it. The player comes with a shiny silver back and I don't like this because it gets fingerprint marks on it easily and this isn't very attractive to look at. Another thing I noticed about the iPod is it's new long battery life which is great because I don't have to charge it up as often and I can listen to my music for longer which is rather good. On the downside if you watch lots of video on your ...

...perfect colour screen. Music: Apple have had the music side of their iPod covered from stage one, simply by placing the white headphones in your ear you become a fashion God. However, if you are running or generally walking fast it is likely that the headphones will fall out - so my recomendation is to buy some cheap in ear headphones from somewhere like DealExtreme. As far as capacity holding and quality of songs go the iPod can hold an extremley ...

Right now, there are many comparable portable music players, from cheap unbranded 128mb music players from Hong Kong, to the elite Archos Multimedia player. Without wasting anytime on the others; my recomendation is that if you are looking for a good quality MP3 player with style. Go for this. If not, the only really ...

...version. This is something that Apple tend to improve on with all versions of their products - slimmer and better. Being a version that supports video, I was eager to to test this out straight away, and downloaded many video podcasts, as well as converting some home-movies to a compatible format via iTunes. Watching these on the iPod itself is excellent. The video quality is clear, crisp, clean. Now - when you then plug the iPod into your TV via ...
...I say almost as I found that, as with most internet videos, you do get some of the usual blocking and pixelation when there are stark contrasts or too many dark and similar colours on screen at the same time. However, most of this is from the quality of the video itself, rather than a fault of the video codecs or the iPod. And... the quality is still good. If you are in a tight fix and need a quick portable hard-drive, just connect this up to the ...

this new innovation from apple to create an 80GB i pod which has the capability of playing 20,000 songs and 100 hours of video playback. It can also hold 25,000 pictures, and you can browse movies on the iTunes Store, download the ones you want then sync it to your iPod. Same goes for TV episodes, new iPod games and other downloads. The ipod video is slimmer than the original ipod, measuring less than half an inch thick which means it is 45 percent ...
...with this I use a apple remote which costs £15 and allows you to flick through your photos or songs or videos without having to move. However if you want to have the remote your going to have to buy the Universal Dock which costs £25. Most accessories can be bought cheapest on eBay but if you want it quickly and you do not want any worry about bidding of eBay go to an apple shop. The 2.5-inch screen that’s capable of displaying photos and video ...

The music is stored via artist, via song title and via album so you can listen to a whole album or just one song. You can ...

Review of Apple iPod 80 GB

I bought the 80gb video ipod back in december 2006, i currently haven't found any problem with the battery life yet, as was one of the worries before buying one due to different reviews. I think the 80gb is an excellent size memory for the ability to store numerous amounts of music, videos and photos. Although it's great to have enough storage but I could have possibly been ok with the 30gb ipod. From adverts before I bought the ipod I assumed ...
...download them onto your ipod, but I found out after buying it and trying to find them, that the tv shows and movies are only available at the US store which was a problem as I am from the UK, the only videos they have at the moment on the UK store is music videos. I was surprised when I got the ipod as to how small the ipod actually is, having had a chunky 20gb mp3 prior to this. The ipod itself is stylish but having to put a cover over it to protect ...

APPLE Hype or I-POD Hey there all you I-POD enthusiasts and general viewers! So you wish to buy an I-Pod for maybe a few reasons, maybe to see what all the hype is about with these small and very clever devices or you wish to have one as a fashion statement. Whatever the reason is, you're here because you want to know more about them. I'll make this review then as logically sensible as possible, first by checking out the sleek design that it boasts. ...
...when hearing the word apple or mac, anything related with the big windows rivals is quality in design. And by far this device does not let them down in what they have achieved. Its more like a work of art that has better function than any Michelangelo. The Colour of my I-Pod is white, that sleek clean look that I desired so much to get away from the grey and darker colours which saturate the portable audio market. It looks stunning, with the bright ...

Price-wise, at around 180 GBP on eBay, it is quite expensive, although it is the most stylish player around, while not feeling to cheap (It better not be). The battery lasts very long, although I don't know if it will fade like my first generation iPod. There is no way of changing the battery, although if you are within warranty, ...

If you are playing videos, you have to tap the middle button once to get to the fast forward scroll. The touch-sensitive surface has been made less sensitive (in my opinion), so that you don't turn it on by accident when you're walking. The highest risk of reducing the beauty of it is ...

Review of Apple iPod 80 GB

The iPod video is a great mp3 player, it looks great, and it is easy to use. As an audio player it is top of the stack. It displays album art with little effort, which looks great, it is easy to adjust sound, and navigate, and it is a joy to use. Itunes which you need to download to be able to upload files to the player is good software. It is great for managing your media files, it also updates your ipod's firmware from time to time. The only issue ...
...earphones are rather poor. As a video player it isn't quite what it could be. The main thing you need to know is that it only plays mp4 video files, so unless your video collection is in this format you will have to do a fair bit of converting files, which is a real pain. The battery life when watching video is only about 3-4 hours, which isn't great. The screen is rather small, although videos do look great. Overall, If you really need huge storage ...
