iPod Video Enhanced 5th Generation 30GB Media Player - Black Reviews
| LOTS OF STORAGE SPACE | |
| PHOTOS ARE KIND OF BLURRY AND NOT AS SHARP WHEN LOOKING AT THEM ON MY TV |
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT COMPUTER TO ATTACH TO BECAUSE THE FIRST COMPUTER I ATTACHED WOULD NOT WORK AND I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE IPOD BUT ON LOOKING CLOSER AT THE SPECIFICATIONS I HAD AN ATHOLON COMPUTER AND I NEEDED A PENTIUM
| Great Color Screen; Size; Controls. | |
| Battery Life; Fragility; Both sides of the device are prone to scratching. |
Everybody has seen an iPod. They are cool looking, easy to use, and not so expensive anymore. I received mine a few days ago and its not a bad machine, but it does have its flaws. The battery life does not last 14 hours. It lasts 10-12 hours. The case that comes in the box isn't bad, but it is not convenient. I bought a case quickly as I was already seeing scratches on the device. The real cost of having an iPod should be 280 dollars instead of the standard 250. You will need a case if you want to keep it looking brand new. There are pros, however. I immediately knew how to control the device and the screen is fantastic. You should definitely get this product, but if you are worried about scratches, get the white version. The scratches are less visible.
| easy to use,lots of space, stores your photos | |
| scratches very easy, not sweat proof, crashes sometimes, delicate headphone jack. no bluetooth |
I bought mine a little over a year ago, at first I was crazy about it But after a while I've found it to be a big time hog, this thing sucks up hours and hours of your time to set up playlists and select songs etc..scratches super easy I had many different cases dirt always finds its way into the case so it gets scratched anyway so dont bother with a case (they add bulk too), just the screen protector labels seem to work. I have about 2,000 songs on mine and apple came out with a newer version of Itunes which crashed my computer while installing, by the time I finally got it reinstalled, Itunes had lost the locations to all my songs, and wanted me to locate each individual song file and reconnect it to the name 1 at a time so I lost all my playlists that took me months to put together. I just got a phone which will hold 2gb minisd cards and has stereo bluetooth so I can listen to music without wires and get calls, less stuff to carry and havent touched my Ipod since.
| Capacity, smart playlists, autosync, Itunes, battery, video playing capabilities, podcasts and audiobooks. Screen quality, clickwheel. Lots of accesories available | |
| Too easy to scratch, hard drives weak to movement. |
Not many people have Ipods in Spain, or at least not where I live. Just as many people I thought the Ipod was an overhyped mp3 player, I laughed at how people could spend so much money on something which was the same as any other player. I also thought you could only play music you bought from Itunes. Nevertheless I still felt attracted to the Ipod. When I was in England with my family (I am British but live in Spain) I saw everyone had one. I don't mean young kids, I mean vets like me who used it on their way to work.When I started working the idea of an Ipod suddenly became more and more attractive. I wanted to find out what the deal was! After two months reading iLounge I decided it was time to find out. I am so happy I decided to buy one, it is really worth the money. Now I understand what the hype is about. The capacity is amazing, you don't need to decide what to take every day. Auto synchronisation is really comfortable and it's really quick! With other DAPs you need to wait years for each song to upload. And it's more than just a music box: now I listen to audiobooks, podcasts, watch videos and video podcasts. It's brilliant. Suddenly you wonder how you managed without it!The battery lasts a long time if you think about it and it's so quick to charge. It's a pity it doesn't come with a wall charger but I understand why they don't supply them in the box anymore. The screen is really bright and clear, and the definition is really good. It surprised me! Audio quality is much better than any other player I have had, even with the stock earphones. More than anything else the best feature are the smart playlists. With so many GB of music you would be listening to the same songs if it weren't for the intelligent Ipod. I have so many smartplaylists I don't know which to listen to! I have one for every occasion, style and mood. Even thouugh the Ipod is really expensive in Spain (I paid over 350 dollars for the 30 gb one) I am really pleased and don't regret it whatsoever!Now I want accesories!!!

My third mp3 player. My first and last "ipod". This thing sucks big time. I loaded all my mp3 songs on my other players in about 20 min. I have spent 2 days now trying to load them on this "ipod"-----NOT. Called support 3 times now and they can't tell me how to do it either?????????? I can put photos on but it removes all others each time????????? I add one and it removes 800. What a sick sick so called @#$%^& this is. I spent $370.00 for it and if anyone wants it I will send it to them-------in about 100 pieces. I printed out the 72 page instrution manual which was just a waist of paper, and NO HELP at all. I think I am going to thro up now. I rate this at -100,000,000,00. If anyone can tell me how to load my 1000 song mp3's, because APPLE CAN"T, you must be GOD. Never never never buy an apple product. Microsoft rules. Plug it in and follow the EASY instuctions. I need to go now, I'm getting heart burn and I just run out of tumms. Mr. No ipod. ever ever ever ever ever.
