MOVIEMUSICPODCAST

Advantages: Style, iTunes, Screen
Disadvantages: Scratch City, Itunes

iPod Video 30GB Black. If beautiful electronics were currency then Apple products would be the million dollar bills, as Cuba cigars are rolled on the thighs of naked virgins, so are apple products crafted by Naked Angels, it's like they take, sex, chocolate ice cream and Silicon and where most companies would throw it in a bowl and mix, Apple caress, kiss the nape of the neck and massage each product into a beautiful work of art. The iPod Video ...
...packaging with pictures of the iPod and examples of how you will use it like listen to Red Hot Chilli Peppers or Watch Pirates of the Caribbean, at least that's how Apple sees you doing it, and of course these have been legally purchased and not downloaded is mass bulk from various illegal Download sites, Of course not no one does that anymore!. Ok so you open the packaging and your immediately presented with your iPod all wrapped in plastic shielding ...

Review of iPod Video 30GB

i like my ipod

Advantages: compact, sleek, easy to use.
Disadvantages: the shiny chrome surface scratches easily

The Apple Ipod video 30GB is the 4th Mp3 player I have owned and I must say by far the best. I started off with a Treo 30GB Flash Drive Mp3 player back when the main mp3 player market was those little 256 mb efforts which were awful if you wanted more than a couple of albums so the Treo was a must have for me. Unfortunately the build quality wasn't great and bit stopped working over time and then the hard drive failed completely. So I moved on to ...
...to buy into the whole ipod brand thing but this new video ipod in black had just been released and it looked pretty sweet. I decided after creative letting me down twice that I would give Apple a go. I already had an Apple Powerbook which i loved so I figured apple couldn't be a bad choice. I went for the 30 GB primarily because it was affordable for me and at the time 30 GB was going to give me some extra space for any new albums I bought/downloaded. ...

Review of iPod Video 30GB

Now you can see your music too...but not for long

Advantages: Sleek sexy design, classic navigation, great intergration with iTunes
Disadvantages: Battery Life (Video) and prone to scratches

The iPod 5th generation is known as the iPod with video support rather than video iPod. This suggests that a true video iPod may follow in the 6th generation. The first thing you notice when you look at this ipod is that it seems rather large compared to the previous design, this is however untrue. The screen has been enlarged and the click wheel has shrunk, and although at first it looks rather out of proportion compared to the 4G you quickly overcome ...
...keeps the sexiness of the iPod intact. Music wise it is no different to other iPods, the battery life is great and will keep you going a long time (around 16hours). Video wise however you only get 2hours (4hours for 60GB models) You can buy external batteries but it doesnt feel as portable once external batteries are involved. The screen is great, I have watced a few movies on it and it is fine - not too small as many may think. When it comes to ...

IPOD VIDEO 30GB

Advantages: sleek
Disadvantages: scratches easily,expensive

...small for normal viewing. This ipod is a "video" model but yet I can buy a PSP for a £40 less, have more of a screen area, and still be able to play games. Keep in mind you won't have 30 gigs of storage, but I have almost 4,000 songs and 10 music videos and still have around 24 gigs lefts. Who really needs that much space? Issue 2: The player uses a menu system that makes it very time consuming to find what you are looking for. Let's say you want ...
...by Song, Artist, or by letter. The problem is that by Song or Artist I have to use the ackwardly slow click wheel to get to "K" for artist seach. Or I would have to know the exact name of the song. The other way is to do a search and that will bring up everything that is spelt with K including song titles. They could improve this system by having a jukebox mode that allows you to pick the genre of music along with some of your favorite artists and ...

Review of iPod Video 30GB

The I-generation

Advantages: Sleek, lightweight, good quality sound,
Disadvantages: Stalls, doesn't equalise volume properly

...only 21 years old an Ipod was a compulsory purchase for me. Before buying it I remember weighing up the proposed pros and cons, and deciding that the pros definitely outweighted the cons. Now that I have one, I thoroughly disagree. I purchased the black edition during the Christmas of 2005 - it was very lightweight, just as slim as you had imagined, and very easy to use. As soon as I got home, I hooked it up to my pc and it was instantly recognised ...
...really disappointed me with the Ipod was it's ability to crash, for no reason, with no obvious reset button, or procedure. Often I would go to my Ipod, while rushing out of the door to my next lecture, hoping for a minute of 2 of the finest sounds in order to clear my head, only to find that it has crashed, and I can't remember how to reset it. When I say crashed, all the lights are on, but nobody is home, and noone has even considered writing this ...

My Ipod

Advantages: Loads of space, Video compatible
Disadvantages: Very easily scratched

I've had my ipod for almost a year now and i couldnt live without it. I listen to it going everywhere and take it with me just in case i need it. I listen to it before i go to sleep many nights a week. I just love it. Its just the right ipod for me because a nano wouldnt store all my music and podcasts on it and the next step up in the ipod video range would just be a bit too much and i would never use all that space. I love the fact i can watch ...
...season of scrubs on my ipod as well as a full season of the simpsons and a few movies. I have only just used half of the space up so im really happy with the amount of space on it. The battery life used to be a real problem when there was no option to change how bright the screen is but now with the new software and that option i can watch a good few hours of video and still have lots of battery life left which is just right for me. I have about ...

Get connected

Advantages: Great value for money and lots of features
Disadvantages: A few problems that need ironing out.

...– The 30 Gb iPod is now 30% slimmer than previous iPods and boats a whopping 15000 songs that’s about 1250 albums on a average of 12 songs per album but you can get hell of a lot more on it if you know how to compress your music, not only can you put music on this but you can also put 25,000 photos into The iPod and that is about 68 photos a day so quite a lot or any combination of the two, but where the iPod excels is the video option which gives ...
...things I love about this iPod is how you get so much for your money not only is it a mp3 player but also a video player has photo storage and games to keep you entertained on long journeys and I must admit I was a little sceptical about the quality of the videos you could put on this iPod but one day I was bored and decided to convert star wars, revenge of the Sith to see what the picture and sound would be like and to my amazement they was both ...

Review of iPod Video 30GB

Pricey... but worth it?

Advantages: watch videos - quick - good quality - sexy!
Disadvantages: expensive - slightly big - wheel can be tricky

...looks can be decieving! This Ipod is very light and fits into a pocket with ease i find. Obvioulsy the 30GB option can hold 30GB worth of songs, picuters, lyrics or videos depending on what you want, although if you want videos you will have to have a video to ipod convertor to change the file type. This is however a lot of songs though, i have over 100 albums and this only comes to just over 3GB so just think of the amount you can fit! Videos arent ...
...IPod and can be seen with ease. Sound quality is good but the headphones arent the best as one of mine is a bit dodgy and i also know friends who also have headphones that have stopped working so be warned you may need spares, which you would not expect with the money going out! Finally i like the IPod series because of all the extras you can get such as speakers and things, with these accessories i no longer use a CD player and it makes listening ...

Review of iPod Video 30GB

bit more like a banana

Advantages: Storage+Video+apple sexiness
Disadvantages: Battery+functionality

...has been said about an ipod is totally true. they look, sound, feel great. Yes they scratch and yes the battery life is awfull.... heres a few things people may have missed. Technical : 30GB Storage heres what apple say in their small print : 1GB = 1 billion bytes; actual formatted capacity less. Song capacity is based on four minutes per song and 128-Kbps AAC encoding. Photo capacity is based on iPod-viewable photos transferred from iTunes. Video ...
...to vanish quite quickly. The ipod doesnt actually come with a charger the unit will charge itself through your pc's usb port. the PC needs to be switched on to do this and when you plug in your ipod Itunes will automaticly start. which slows down your pc considrably. Battery life might actually not be an issue as most portable media users are the commuters so the jaunt into london everyday and back home again is the main use. So for most users maybe ...

review on iPod video.

Advantages: ligthness, sound quality.....
Disadvantages: weak battery, iVideo converter should be included......

I was given my iPod video for a Christmas present last year 2005. I wasn't really a fan of the older chunkier iPods but when I was out one day with my dad in Curry's and he asked what I wanted for Christmas it was a coincidence that we were passing iPod shelve. I was looking into getting an MP3 player and because I wasn't a fond of the iPod range I was going for a normal MP3. But when I looked at the new iPod video I just loved the way that it looked ...
...if I had had an iPod before. The click wheel on the iPod is such a great idea it is easy to use and a brilliant invention which makes navigating through the iPod easy than what it otherwise would be. The quality of the sound is awesome it is as if you are actually there listening to the band itself. I love the idea that if you put the album cover of the band onto your iTunes then it allows you to have the album cover on the screen instead of how ...

Maybe the best iPod ever

Advantages: Strong, Classy and Stylish, Easy to Use, Reliable
Disadvantages: Poor Battery Life, Scratches easily

I purchased this iPod Video a few years ago, and it has never let me down. It is classy and simple to use, as all iPods are. However this one has something more to it that makes it so attractive. One could consider buying an iPod touch or an iPhone. Have you considered getting one of these beauties instead? Music, Videos, Pictures, Great Games can be stored and used, any data can be stored on it. The backlighted screen allows you to see the artwork ...

Review of iPod Video 30GB

Ipod Video Nothing better!

Advantages: Excellent Video and Music Quality
Disadvantages: Battery life short when watching videos and scratches very easily

The latest generation of Ipod for me has been extremely impressive. I've had my ipod Video since christmas of 2005 and so far it hasn't given up on me. The 30 gig ipod can hold a generous amount of movies at their highest of quality along with more than enough space for music. The new Music Artwork feature i feel is a bit of a waste of time, the graphics take up space and even though yes they may good on the screen aren't really necessary. The Music ...
...on itunes or on the Ipod itself. Videos are high quality depending on the software you choose to convert dvd's e.t.c with . I reccomend paying a little extra money on the DVD to Ipod Converter as after trying several different products found there can be a noticable difference. Music videos and podcasts can also be stored so a good selection of viewing material. Extras include a on screen lock for the ipod in the style of a safe code. Games included ...

Review of iPod Video 30GB

Great but with some flaws

Advantages: Sleek and simple design.
Disadvantages: Bad battery life.

...a 5th generation, white 30GB iPod as my MP3 couldn't hold more than 50 tracks. As soon as you have charged your iPod and loaded music onto it via iTunes you will not be dissapointed. The sound quality is amazing and it gets better if you use an E.Q like bass boost or treble. If you plan to buy this for it's video features then you may want to think again. The battery life is awful when playing video. But it will keep going all day when playing ...
...rarely use. The iPod itself is very pretty. The user interface and screen are the best of all the iPods. The front of it is made of a resin that is resistant to light scratching. To sum up this is a very nice player although it be over-priced. ...

Great, but confusing at first

Advantages: Stunning sound and video quality. Superb memory capability.
Disadvantages: Confusing instructions and software cause problems for beginners

...of your content off the ipod in order to make way for new content is frustrating, especially if you have removed the song from your computer.... The sound and video quality however is brilliant! Videos are crystal and the sound is flawless, and you can adjust the sound settings to your preference too, which is a plus. With a 30GB memory too you have more than enough room for music, over 7500 songs infact, lets face it, if you NEED more than 1000 ...
