Witness the evolution of the revolution. First it played songs. Then photos. Then podcasts. Now iPod plays video, changing the way you experience your music and more.
A playa who never quits!

Strength
Good battery life for audio, very nice color screen, plays video!
Weakness
Lame case, no wall charger, poor battery life when playing video

You can watch David Hasselhof drive around in a talking Trans-Am-- on your iPod! What's not to recommend?

Strength
Typical high quality Apple design, construction and user experience and much, much more.
Weakness
Considering future models, it has the smallest screen. I'm reaching for cons here.
Bottom Line

Strength
Great sound, images; easy use; works well with its software and internet store.
Weakness
Lack of compatibility with (old) peripherals, scratches easy.
Bottom Line
If you have the money one normally pays (about $300), and you want probably the best MP3 player around, here it is.
The Apple iPod with Video gets my unequivocal vote for best MP3 player in recent history. It's a grand slam. But not because of the features, not even the video. Other players out there have way more features - FM tuners, voice recorders. Other players...
Strength
Looks and sounds fantastic, easy to navigate and sync, easy to get video content
Weakness
Very easily scratched, few video offerings, low battery life, no FM tuner or voice recorder.
Bottom Line
A few minor flaws aside, the new iPod with Video is a gem. It's beautiful, easy to use, and sounds fantastic.
