Great media player

Advantages: Easy to use, shuffle mode is good, lots of space
Disadvantages: not the latest version (who cares it is cheaper!)

...The Ipod Nano 8GB (3G) is an amazing music player. It is really small so you can just put in in a pocket. You control the Ipod Nano with a wheel type thing and this works really well once you have got used to it. The Ipod can hold loads of songs, videos, photos and even TV episodes and films! I would not suggest watching a long video on it mind you because the screen is quite small but I have never really tried this properly. I use my Ipod for all the music I have and just a few photos and videos as well. You can also buy other things for your Ipod through Itunes like videos, films, games, music (obviously) and can also get podcasts which are free. These podcasts are actually quite good and worth looking at considering they are for nothing and can be quite useful and interesting. This version of the Ipod is a different shape...

Review of Apple iPod Nano video 8GB Third Generation

Ipod nano v3 video

Advantages: Everything, good sound, good picture quality, good battery life
Disadvantages: Its quite pricey but worth the money

...and gives a very good picture. I was amazed when I watched a video on it the picture was actually better than my TVs. Battery The battery can last up to 24 hours it goes quicker the louder you listen to it, the more games you play on it and when you watch videos. Price The iPods start from £99.99 for a 4 GB version and for the 8 GB version it costs £129.99 the iPod is excellent values for money and you can't really fault it. Recommendation I would defiantly recommend this to any potential buyers it's a really good, easy to use mp3 player. Which has many features that other mp3s don't have such as the ability to play and download games and videos. It also has a decent screen size and quality. This ipod is a definate must....

iPod Nano Video reveiw, Great new look

Advantages: Plays videos, music and views photos and high quality.
Disadvantages: Not easy to get video to a Ipod compatible format quickly.

...This is a ipod nano. It is great beacuse of the size. It fits easily in my pocket, about the size of a credit card. The main appeal of this ipod is the video feature. The screen is 5.5cm from corner to corner but it has a great picture and the soud is floorless. It can fit quite alot of video before it is full. I have a few full films on it but its still not full. Another new thing for this ipod is the cover flow feture. Great new way to look for a song on your ipod. However it is hard to get artwork for each song. Unless you have an itunes account and even if you do it doesnt always reconise a song. A let down for me is that you cant really add music or remove it without the Itunes program. But this is the same with all iPods ( you can still use other programs but they dont always work) Sleak new look and size makes this...

Great MP3 Player - Simplicity and Elegance

Advantages: Looks great, airtight integration with iTunes
Disadvantages: Feels too small

...The new iPod nano looks great; you will be stunned when you open its amazingly small retail package. It is very thin, but feels sturdy in the hand. Some may find the iPod nano difficult to hold as I did. You will require a case for the iPod nano, otherwise it will become very scratched. Despite being called the 'chunky' iPod, I think that it looks better then then previous generation iPod nano. The previous generation of iPod nano were more of a difficult kind of iPod compared to the other iPod. However this 3rd generation feels like a shrunk down version. Features wise this MP3 player is great. Obviously it plays music, and will hold an average person's music collection. Video looks really sharp, if not small. However it is not suitable for widescreen video (16:9), as most the screen ends up being filled with black letterbox bars...

Review of Apple iPod Nano video 8GB Third Generation

The ipod nano is the perfect sized music player for on the go.

Advantages: small, vivid colors, organized, clear screen
Disadvantages: not as many features as new music players like ipod touch

...In my opinion the ipod nano is one of the best music players out there. It's small and can fit anywhere. It's good for people who travel. Unlike the ipod touch, it's not as big and uncomfortable to carry around. Even with a screen that small, it shows you everything and in vivid displays. The pictures roll across the screen making it fun and interesting while listening to your music. The only thing this ipod nano doesn't have that other popular music players do have is radio, internet, and more applications. This music player is for people who are on the go and don't like to lug around big devices in their pockets or bags. You can easily fit this into your pocket. The ipod nano has many different accessories sold seperately for it. Ipods in general are good to have around because most of the accessories in stores are for ipods and not...

RIP - THE VIDEO PLAYER

Advantages: Cheap, stylish
Disadvantages: Simple, few features

...As I?m sure most of you now know, I bought my first house about this time last year and whilst we slowly went about decorating each room, money was tight. Having bought a new 29inch wide-screen TV I was hoping I?d get a bit of money for my Birthday in November to put aside for a DVD player in the January sales. As it turned out I got even luckier and my Brother bought me one as a joint Birthday and Christmas present ? result or what!? Personally I wanted one as I knew that it was the way forward and I was missing out on all the DVD extras that didn?t appear on video. The one that he bought me was the Alba DVD108 player, which on first impressions looked stylish in its silver surround, and was a good size - a good choice by my brother as the new TV was also silver. This was important to me as I like things to match as well as...

ITV Player - Plays The Programmes You Miss

Advantages: ITV Any Time, Convenient
Disadvantages: Buffering Takes Time

...ITV Player follows in the footsteps of the BBC I-Player ? an online service offering the opportunity to watch the shows you have missed for up to 28 days after they are first aired. For those without a DVD recorder of a VCR this service offers an excellent opportunity to catch up. This service was a new experience for me and having read several reviews as to the poor quality of the programmes screened I wasn?t expecting an awful lot. However I made my way to ITV.co.uk and followed the link for ITV Player. The website is extremely accessible and very user friendly. The ITV Player link takes you to a sub site specifically adapted to allow the user to find the programme/show they wish to watch and then to watch it. I was seeking Wuthering Heights, Part 2 having seen Part 1 last Sunday evening. The show wasn?t available online...

Official Wii Component Video Cable

Advantages: Far better picture than standard composite, better looking games
Disadvantages: Expensive, Only needed for larger screens 32" or greater

...After the release of the little white bundle of joy on the 8/12/2006 people were given a composite cable to show off their new shinny new console. AV enthusiasts all know a composite signal is the poor quality option for showing video on their TV's - what people really want is RGB or Component video input. As console manufactures are out to make a profit they usually bundle the cheapest and most compatible option with the console and then release upgrades to that product for people who need or want it. Nintendo understand this and have released two video upgrade options - the Wii RGB cable or the Wii Component cable. Lets get things straight from the off, The Nintendo Wii is not a High Definition Console, What this cable does offer is a enhanced image resolution of 480p. I finally got hold of the component video cable after...

Video Nasties

Advantages: Friendly atmosphere, staff discount
Disadvantages: Very few other staff benefits

...I've been working part-time at Choices Video in my home town since September 2001, and I have to say that, most of the time, I really do enjoy my job. The people are friendly, it's quite flexible, but the pitfalls are a real pain sometimes. BACKGROUND ------------------------- Choices Video is part of the Home Entertainment Corporation, which aside from video rental shops also distributes rental products to local shops such as Alldays and independant ones. They have their own film distribution arm, Mosaic Entertainment, which buys rights to video and dvd of films. HEC was founded in 1985, and the first Choices Video rental store was opened in 1986. There are now 213 branches in the UK. WHERE I WORK -------------------------- I work in the smaller Ipswich branch of Choices (there are two). We're situated in a row of shops...

Welcome To The Videos

Advantages: great music videos, like 'November Rain', 'Don't Cry' and 'Paradise City'.
Disadvantages: No extras. A few videos missing that I feel should have been on it.

...As a huge fan, and someone who regrets not being old enough to ever see this band live when they were in their prime, I'm sure you can imagine my excitement when Guns 'n' Roses were announced as performers a few years back on MTV Video Awards. Though it was clear Axl Rose was the only original member left, there was still much anticipation as I felt even with the new band members, it would still have that old Guns 'n' Roses feel to it, due to the fact that I know Axl Rose made a great deal of the decisions and chose the direction music wise, in the days when Guns 'n' Roses were truly on top. This was going to be amazing. Although I would not be able to see them live at the MTV Video Awards, them performing there surely meant there would be a tour.... perhaps even another album... However. Excitement quickly turned to...
