Review 1 of 7

Price Paid:  $0.00

Model Reviewed:
5G ipod

Summary:
The world's best music player just became even better with the addition of video capability! Although the ipod video only supports MPEG-4 and H.264 video, with some effort it is possible to convert other formats such as .avi and DivX so that the ipod understands them. Just like the previous ipods, the controls are easy and intuitive, and the player is even more thin and sleek than before. I highly recommend this product! I got mine free from this site by just completing one of the offers and referring a few friends! link: http://www.ipodvideos4free.com/default.aspx?r=543860

Strengths:
plays video flawlessly, beautiful large LCD, thin, large hard drive, user friendly

Weaknesses:
expensive, short battery life for video, scratches easily

Similar Products Used:
3G ipod, iRiver H10

Review 4 of 7

Price Paid:  $399.00 from Apple Store

Summary:
I regret that I will have to return the iPod model MA147LL that I purchased, due to a serious software bug and/or design flaw. When playing tracks that are meant to flow continuously from one into the next the iPod interrupts the sound and blanks out for a moment between tracks. It does this EVEN WHEN RIPPED TO .WAV files which do NOT have this problem with other manufacturer's players. HOW could such a serious design issue pass quality control and get out undetected and or unfixed from Apple? SHAME on them, I expected better.

Strengths:
looks cool, lots of features, music menus organized well

Weaknesses:
sound drops out between tracks, only fair audio quality

Similar Products Used:
several players, Creative Jukebox 3 is favorite for quality, though it's large

Review 5 of 7

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
Don't pick the black version, pick the white one. See below why I don't recommend the black version. The catch is you have to sign up to an offer, but you can either find a free offer or find something that you were going to get anyway. I got a magazine subscription for my wife for xmas, which I was looking for anyway. There are lots of different things to chose from. Not a bad deal for the 60GB Video iPod. The thing that I don't like about the iPod I picked was the Black version of the 60GB one. It seems to be very smudge and finger print prone. I find myself constantly wiping it down. Also, the battery life could be longer for the amount of memory it has. Finally, I would think for the price that Apple is selling this at, they could have at least included a docking station. You have to buy that seperately, you just get a USB cable, which works, but would like to just dock and go. In the gym, they play the sound through the TV by FM Modulation. Since there is no FM Tuner, I can't really use this to listen like my old iRiver MP3 player. Finally, a lot of music is in the .WMA format and no support. But I guess I can't complain too much since it was free.

Strengths:
Pod Casts, Lot's of Memory, Sleek Design, Lot's of Add On Options, Track Wheel.

Weaknesses:
Battery Life, No FM, No Cradle Included, No WMA support
