Advantages: stylish, great features
Disadvantages: poor earphones, shiny silver back

...The iPod Video 80gb is the ultimate in portable mp4 players dominating over 50% of the market. It is suprisingly small and fits into trouser pockets very nicely and is the ultimate cool accessory to have. Also the iPod is good value at £200. This thing is like a small hard drive, 80GB is the amount of storage I have on my laptop. There is so much space on this thing that I doubt you will fill it with your music collection unless you have 20,000 songs. The ability the iPod has to play videos is great as you can download music videos and other videos such as comedy videos and cartoons off of iTunes for free in some cases although the screen isn't the largest and you will not be able to see films that well because the screen is small. Another great feature is the ability to store pictures. On your iPod you can now store your... Read review

Advantages: Size, Memory Space
Disadvantages: None

...I bought my 80gb Apple Ipod in stylish black, almost 6 months ago. Since then, it's been a great portable music system, maybe even the paradigm of a near perfect MP3 player. The sound quality is near on perfect (depending on your earphones), and i belive it's the best in its kind, as i found the Ipod Nano to have consistant sound problems. The new scroll wheel is extrememly easy to use, directly contrasting to the Creative Zen scroll bar, which becomes increasingly tedious at times. What I like most about this product though, is the fact it hasn't followed the " The Smaller The Better" regime. This allows the 80gb Ipod to sit firmly in your pockets, thus preventing you from mimicking a paranoid schizophreniac, and constantly checking your pockets to see if you've left it on the bus. Overal, the 80gb Ipod is great value for money... Read review

Disadvantages: Problems with dvr-ms files, annoying synch app, possible probs with encrypted wireless

...The Microsoft Zune 80 is the Zune 30's bigger brother. It plays MP3, WMV, WMA, MP4 music and video files, displays JPEG pictures and has an FM tuner, but its real value is its truly whopping 80GB hard disk which can hold my entire music library and several full length films. It also supports wireless connection to your home network and can transfer music wirelessly to nearby Zune users (with restrictions) should you have the urge so to do. Given that there are few Zune users in the UK, this latter facility is currently of little value. The device itself is light and neat, with a metal back and a clear glass front sporting only three buttons, each of which is overloaded with context dependent functions that take a little while to get used to. The central 'squircle' button (i.e. a squarish-circle) is the Zune's answer to the ipod 'wheel... Read review
