30GB iPod 5th Generation White

Pros: Terrific 2.5" color display, small size, intuitive controls, great sound and video

Cons: Needs to support more audio/video formats, poor battery life during video playback, USB charging only

The Bottom Line: Improves on the previous generation, smaller size, more disk space, better display, while keeping the intuitive iPod look and feel.

Review: The 30GB White iPod (video) is one of Apple s new (5th) generation of iPod digital media players, featuring video and audio playback, a 30gb hard drive, and a terrific 2.5 diagonal 320X240 QVGA color LCD display. The new display should help...

Pros: Decent picture, great sound, endless storage, cool factor, size

Cons: Not many video options, video expenses

The Bottom Line: A very good MP3 Player, but not yet what I expect from a video player.

Review: As a bit of a gadget freak, I was excited when the Apple iPod video player came out. I like the thought of being able to have something that I can take with me when I travel and have more than just music. Now, with the new device, I have both.
...

Pros: Manageable Size

Cons: Non To Speak Of

The Bottom Line: : The iPod Video is the likely next step or this exciting technology. I like the iPod Video, and heartily recommend it!

Review: Apple has done it again. That is not to say this is much of a surprise as it is a declaration that there is now another Apple innovation that we can feel excited about shelling out hard earned scheckles for.

The 5th Generation (5G) iPod...

Pros: Intuitive navigation, Search function, Crisp/Bright screen, iTunes

Cons: Scratches easily, Somewhat hefty, Price

The 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.

Review: 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...

Pros: sound quality, capacity, ease of use, clear video display

Cons: small video screen

The Bottom Line: This made the perfect gift for my teenage daughter and cost less than my older model. Great sound, good video and some nice extras with a good battery life.

Review: My daughter recently turned sweet 16 (still waiting for the sweet part to show up, but whatever). For that birthday since we got out of spending the bucks on a huge party like what was typically thrown back down on Long Island, we decided to...

Pros: Looks, sounds, and performs perfectly...

Cons: Nothing major but it scratches very easily like all iPods.

The Bottom Line: A very good music player and photo slideshow viewer, but the video could have been better.

Review: Last weekend I got the chance to play around with my brother-in-laws new Apple iPod Video (black) and I just loved it. He got interested in the iPod s since he saw mine and my dads new one. He finally decided to get it for himself for...

Pros: Good battery life for audio, very nice color screen, plays video!

Cons: Lame case, no wall charger, poor battery life when playing video

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

Review: There's some pretty major construction on the two-lane road that connects my house with the freeway. Every day, a bunch of people in hard hats stand around with cigarettes and hand-held stop signs, allowing one lane to move, while the other waits...

Pros: Bright screen, clear picture in videos

Cons: Temperamental on off switch. small vid screen.

The Bottom Line: I've now had experience with my original 60GB iPod and now recently with my daughters 30GB iPod. If I were making a purchase today I would go for the 30GB.

Review: My daughter and I went shopping for an iPod about half a year ago. She picked out the 30GB in white. She took right to it understanding how it worked through experimentation and using the Quick Guide that came with the iPod. I have a 60GB and it...

Pros: awesome sound, easy to use, "on the go" playlists, hard to harm

Cons: battery life is fading after 4 years

The Bottom Line: If you can find a 30GB Video iPod, it's still a solid choice for an MP3 player.

Review: I remember when my husband bought his first iPod. I was completely baffled. Why would you want to have so much music with you at one time; what was the point of that? I could listen to whatever I wanted to at home easily, and I could play multiple...

Pros: Great sound, images; easy use; works well with its software and internet store.

Cons: Lack of compatibility with (old) peripherals, scratches easy.

The Bottom Line: If you have the money one normally pays (about $300), and you want probably the best MP3 player around, here it is.

Review: 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...
