iPod 30GB with video

One of the hottest new portable digital video players in undoubtably the new Apple iPod video (although to Apple, it’s just iPod). We fully expect that the Apple iPod will be the hit for this upcoming holiday season – it’s the best iPod so far, and it plays video, too!

The new Apple iPod has a bright 2.5-inch colour LCD, can store up to 7,500 songs, 20,000 photos, or 75 hours of video playback, and the batteries can last up to 14 hours of music playback. Here are some reviews – with a balance of the negative and positive opinions.

PC World
‘Apart from those minor issues, I found the screen very easy on the eye–for short viewing periods, at least.’

iLounge
‘Implementation of video functionality is incomplete, lacking hardware support for popular standards, and free software to convert existing videos.’

CNET
‘Those who follow gadgets know that Apple didn’t invent portable digital video.’

PC Magazine
‘Don’t call it the Video iPod, the vPod, or anything that indicates that this is a video player.’
