Pros Great sound, images; easy use; works well with its software and internet store.
Cons Lack of compatibility with (old) peripherals, scratches easy.
Recommended it? Yes

I have been in love with iPods ever since I started with my 60 GB fourth generation Photo iPod (http://www.epinions.com/content_176234860164 ), and this new fifth generation model is in many ways a better unit than my old one.

I was perfectly happy with my Photo iPod, but like many other... Read full review »

Pros Typical high quality Apple design, construction and user experience and much, much more.
Cons Considering future models, it has the smallest screen. I'm reaching for cons here.
Recommended it? Yes

As users of the latest electronic gadgets, consumers expect a level of usefulness, quality, reliability, and service.

Even without video, best MP3 player around!

Pros Looks and sounds fantastic, easy to navigate and sync, easy to get video content
Cons Very easily scratched, few video offerings, low battery life, no FM tuner or voice...
Recommended it? Yes

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 have had color screens and video for quite... Read full review »

Should I buy an iPod?

By this point you've probably already made up your mind whether to buy one or not and are just looking for some positive reinforcement for your decision. Because the iPod's technical schematics are easily found elsewhere online, I won't spend a lot of time on the... Read full review »

Pros Refined, intuitive, high performance.
Cons Battery life - they didn't tell you everything.
Recommended it? Yes

As a self-proclaimed gadget freak I'm very careful when a "trendy" gadget hits the market. I'm always open to the possibility that other manufacturers may make a device with superior features and not necessarily all the hype. I cautiously waited a long time before jumping on the MP3 player... Read full review »

Pros Intuitive, easy to use, plenty of space, no DRM crippling.
Cons Easily scratched, not the best headphones.
Recommended it? Yes

I received the Apple iPod Video 30GB as a Christmas gift. Hands down, this is the best player I have ever owned. There is very little not to like about this player.

It's easy to see why Apple has taken over the MP3 player market with the iPod. The iPod video has the click-wheel design... Read full review »

As an Mac user and podophile at heart (having owned 5 different iPods), I'm writing this review for iPod owners who are considering upgrading from an iPod Photo, 3rd Gen iPod, or iPod mini to the 5th Gen iPod Video. Instead of boring you with the stuff you already know... i.e. iPods are great,... Read full review »

One More Thing…

Before October 12, rumors were flying about the next generation of iPods (dubbed the 5G iPod.) Some rumors include a replaceable battery. The iPod's battery has always been a source of contention due to its limited charge cycles and difficulty in acquiring... Read full review »

Pros Neat design, good battery, excellent video, ease of use
Cons iTunes only, easy to scratch, sound could be better
Recommended it? Yes

I won this little gem 6 months ago, with a survey I took on the website of biocompare.com. I enjoyed it a lot so far, but I am not sure I would purchase one with my own money.

Specs for the iPod can be found in more detail elsewhere, let me just summarize my experience, it's pros and... Read full review »
