light up in an orangy red colour, whereas only the screen lights on the 4G. It would have been nice for the clickwheel to illuminate on the 4G, but i suppose this would have wasted battery.
In my review of the 4G Ipod Photo, I mentioned that Solitare was a little hard to see. I have to say that on the 3Gs display, though in greyscale it seems much clearer and easier to focus on.
For the sound test, I am going to compare the same media using SennheiserPMX60 headphones. Both systems will be set to 3/4 volume, and the media used will be "David Bowie - Life On Mars". The EQ on each ipod will be off.
