Product Description

Now that you can buy movies from the iTunes Store and sync them to your iPod, the whole world is your theater. With the Apple 30 GB iPod with Video Playback in hand, those movies fit comfortably next to TV shows, iPod games, podcasts, audiobooks, photo albums, and, of course, an entire library of music--up to 7500 songs. How much can your pocket hold? That's up to you and your iPod, but no matter how you organize it, the iPod holds loads of songs and plenty of hours of video.



Apple's 30GB Black iPod Video offers music and video in a slick package!

Summary

After having an iPod Nano for a few years, I figured it was the time to make the jump to a full-sized iPod so I could have more storage space and so I could watch videos on the iPod. Yeah, the price was quite a bit higher than my old Nano, but I was...

Strength

Weakness

Scratches easily, Somewhat hefty, Price

Bottom Line

While it might be pricey, the 30GB Video iPod offers music and videos in a well designed and easy to use package that is well worth it.

Summary

I’ve used an iPod (from one make or “generation” to another) for more than five years. When my previous iPod fatally broke after a little tumble (major con to these devices: they are built to break, as stockings are built to get runs), I...

Strength

Sleek, sexy, fantastic sound, nice quality screen/display, good menus

Weakness

Rather pricey; stock headphones; ruins your whole 'non-conformist' thing

Bottom Line

It's small enough to fit in a shirt pocket, but at 30 gigs, can carry a ton of music, photos, and videos. Nice.

Summary

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...

Strength

Good battery life, smaller than the Zune

Weakness

Scratches easily, poor menus/software, eq sounds horrible, lcd too small

Bottom Line

I would still recommend this product over a lot of the garbage that is out on the market so fat.
