IPOD VIDEO 30GB

Advantages: sleek
Disadvantages: scratches easily,expensive

...For the money this music player is one of the best available, however, there are a few things Apple could have improved over the prior generation models that they didn't. Issue 1: The LCD is too 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 to find a song by Kanye West. I can search 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...

Review of iPod Video 30GB

APPLE IPOD VIDEO 30gb

Advantages: GOOD PICTURE QUALITY, BIG SPACE
Disadvantages: Easily sctrached and freezes up sometimes!

...Great Product, i have had mine for about a year and find it very good! Easily transfer songs via itunes then listen to them on the go without any problems! Only disadvantages that i can think of is that it can get scratched very easily, and that some times it freezes up! But definetly worth buying and i would recommend people to buy it! 30gb is alot of space that would not easily be used up! The picture quality is very nice and i use it to watch movies on thats how good the quality is! The price of the product is well worth it and trust me you will not regret buying this ipod what so ever! Well worth the money and a great mp3 player to use!...

Review of iPod Video 30GB

Ipod Video 30 GB

Advantages: Video quality and sleek design
Disadvantages: Photo storing process is really bad and it requires experience handling

...In terms of sound and video quality i think it is excellence. However the video files you need to convert the files to AC3 format which requires more times for larger file size. And also you cannot directly delete the file from the device itself where it has to go through Itunes. The most annoying part is when someone who are inexperience in handling the Itunes with the ipod connected to the PC he/she can simply overwrites your previous files. This is because the Itunes always prompt a command whether you want to replace the previous file with the new file on Itunes automatically. A careless handling by inexperience users who like to keep clicking yes all the time may cost all your file being deleted and replace with the new one. In addition putting photos into it must come in bundles and you cannot select the one you like. This...

Ipod Video 30Gb Black

Advantages: Sleek Smooth and Very portable
Disadvantages: Scratches easily

...The iPod Video Black is one of the best portable music players on the market. It is sleek, smooth and can store 30 GB of audio, video and pictures on it's Hard Drive. It has 2. 5 inch screen which is really clear but the problem is - the outer shell is sooo easy to scratch. This can be solved by either getting a special polish that rubs out the scratch and leaves it as smooth as new, or you can get it replaced altogether. The first being my preferred option. The Ipod supports MP3 and WMA audio playback, which means you can get all your music on no matter what format it is. The maximum resolution of the video playback is 320 x 240 and it supports MPEG-4 format. If you don't have any videos on your computer that are in this format, Don't Fret! Most modern video converter programs will easily convert into MPEG-4.The Ipod is connected to...

Video iPod 30GB - Fantastic Purchase

Advantages: Well designed, light, storage capacity, output quality
Disadvantages: Cost of Accessories, Ease of Scratching, Video Conversion

...-=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 for my music, photo and video needs. Battery life:....Debatable #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...

Review of Apple iPod 30 GB

Ipod Video 30 GB

Advantages: Simply appealing.
Disadvantages: Rarely freeze.

...The Ipod is simple amazing, there really is no other way to describe it. Everything about this product is appealing, it looks good, feels good, makes you feel good and does everything it's said to do. It plays music and videos, holds files and has built in games for when you have nothing to do. Compared to the older Ipods, the battery life on these are great, they go on for ages and ages. The design is sleek and attractive and the controls are great, I can?t say how much of a great idea the touch pad navigation is (Click wheel.), very easy to use and get use to. The Ipod itself is very slim and to be honest in my opinion look like a work of art. The image quality on these are great, very bright, colourful and sharp. This type of Ipod comes in 30, 60 and now 80GB. 30 GB will hold shed loads roughly around 7,500 songs...

Review of Apple iPod 30GB Fifth Generation

Review of iPod 30GB

Advantages: Lots of space for files, good video and sound quality, easy to use, great design
Disadvantages: The longer you have it the quicker and more charging it needs, can sometimes freeze and need reset

...I am a person who likes variety, and listening to music when walking. When I had my portable cd player, I got annoyed whenever it jogged by the slightest bump and having to lug around several cds so I could change the music when I wanted. That's why I'm so grateful for the iPod. It has a smart, simple and stylish design. It is easy to use and can probably be easily used by most people. It is small but not too small, so it can fit into most pockets or handbags but not be easily lost. The video display is sharp and clear, watching videos on the iPod is always a delight. The sound quality is also good and has an equalizer setting option so you can change the sound to, for example, more or less bass. The amount of space that comes with the 30Gb is plenty. I have had mine for a couple of years now and still ahve space left, even...

Review of Apple iPod 30 GB

Ipod 30GB 5G

Advantages: Clear colour, sound quality high, prices dropped from old version
Disadvantages: screen scratches, exterior scratches.

...This is one of Apple's new Ipod fifth generation MP3/MP4 Players. The advantage of this over a nano is storage capacity and video playback. FUNCTIONS = This player can playback MP3 and MP4 only. So sorry to WMA fans out there. You can (with the right software) upload your DVD's on this ad view them say when you are on the train for example. Unfortunately they are trying to make it illegal to put copies of your OWN DVD's onto your devices now. Hopefully this rule does not pass trough even though I am sure it will not stop you :) On the player, you get extra features as well as just the video and music playback. It comes with a few games (Solitaire, Music Quiz, Parachutes) which are all ok to play when listening to your music (well not music quiz but yeah). You can also download new games off of the apple store which is...

Review of Apple iPod 30GB Fifth Generation

30GB Vid ipod

Advantages: Screen clarity, ease of use, styling, software
Disadvantages: Easily scratched, battery life

...My second ipod. I do a lot of travelling so a video ipod seemed like mana from heaven. There really is not much to say about an ipod - lots of capacity, very easy to use, great styling of course and the sound quality os very good. As a day to day accessory the ipod is just a dream, whether you are using it at the gym, on the train or strolling down the shops. Easy creation of playlists helps you to manage your gargantuan music collection. I havn't yet had to confirm this myself but I hear Apple's support is excellent. Even though the ipod is one of my favourite gadgets I have 2 main issues. If these could be addressed then the ipod would be undeniably the best mp3 player: 1. Battery life. My fully charged ipod only lasted for half of a recent 10 hour flight. I was only listening to music. If you are watching video then cut that...

...Lets face it its apple so you know that the sound picture and video quility is realy good! This product easily is one of the nest mp3/mp4 players there is out there, and you also get a one year garunte which is nice, you can: create playlists Upload videos store around 7500 tracks upload pictures and donwload songs from the itunes store, and you can even get games on your ipod, all at different prices of course, there is also a selection of music videos that you can download for a fair price, and you can buy itunes gift cards from most major supermarkets The only problem in my experience with ipod is that close to the end of the warrenty my ipod stoped working for no reason at all, and then by this time it was not in the warrenty. However when you first buy your ipod, it comes in a swanky black box with a big picture...
