 Great Pocket Music Box with Video as a Bonus September 27, 2006

I love this model of the iPod - it's compact and very user friendly. The black and chrome model does show smudges and scratches easily, so you may want to invest in a cover or a case in addition to the black velvet sleeve that comes in the box (nice, but you can't hit the controls or see the screen through it). Other than those minor quips, all you need to do is plug it in to your PC or Apple computer and it automatically registers itself and downloads everything you have in iTunes (with an option to download your photos as well).
The screen in this updated 6 generation is brighter, and the battery life is a little longer. Playing music without the backlight activated will last over 14 hours. Watching video or having the backlight on constantly will drain the battery at just over 3 hours. Not ideal for a Transatlantic flight or one to Europe, but great for domestic air travel and short commuter rides. You have to think of this as a music player with bonus video feature, rather than as a portable DVD player (even with movies added to iTunes). If you are in the market for more video seek out the 80 GB model which is has longer battery life and more memory to hold up to 80 features instead of 30 flicks at most. The unit is slimmer, the click wheel slightly improved, and it's about $50 cheaper out of the gate than the last models.
In the box you get the white basic headphones, a USB cable (no Firewire since the iPods are not Firewire compatible), a black velvet pouch for storage, a quick sketchy instruction booklet, and a docking sleeve for when you get a docking accessory. There is no iTunes installation CD, so be sure to download the program before you plug in.

I owned the 5th Generation iPod, 1st Generation and decided to upgrade.
Battery life is improved over the previous model. That's about all that has changed, besides the fact that it now comes with a different case, different earphones and no instalation CD.
All the other changes are available through an iPod firmware update (such as the ability to play games, adjust brightness, improved search, etc..) and by updating iTunes.
Overall, a great player, although I wouldn't recommend it if you already own the 5th generation iPod (It's practically the same thing!).
Ipod video: overall good. September 24, 2006

Well, i just got one yesterday and it's really good. ALmost-HD quality video, cool interface, great sound quality, overall awesomeness, games. But I could have given this a 5-star rating if it doesn't mislead you to think you can get more than 3 hours of battery life. Also, there's no options menu where you can delete, rename or edit songs. On Creative mp3 players there is. I have a Zen Micro that has that. It gets fingerprint marks and scrathes so much. IF YOU GET AN IPOD, GET A PROTECTIVE CASE FOR IT AND ONLY HANDLE YOUR IPOD WITH NO CASE UNLESS YOU ARE USING A CLEANING CLOTH! YOU WILL THANK ME :). Also, dont adjust the brightness too high and turn the click noise off if you want a slightly longer battery life. If you have a lot of movies and videos, get an 80GB because movies take up a whole gigabyte and 30 minute shows usually take up 250megabytes (1/4th a gigabyte.)
Microsoft may have invented electronics, but Apple stole their ideas and made them into better electronics. Apple may have stole Microsofts ideas to make better electronics, but they forgot the little things.
I love it September 22, 2006

this is my first iPod, and i must say that i have been missing out. it took me a while to decide whether i wanted the 80gb or the 30gb, and i am happy with my decision. i have videos, music, contacts, calendars, games, you name it, and have only used up about 1/6th of the space. video quality is good. music quality is awesome. i got my g/f the new iPod nano and was jealous at the size for a while, but realized i liked mine much better because i can play video and hold so much more. i highly recommend this iPod. and for those of you who don't know anything about an iPod, it can do everything. my favorite, right now, is podcasts. they're free, and as soon as a new video or audio clip is released, it is automatically downloaded to your iPod. and with outlook, you can sync your contacts and calendars. this is a must-have
Pros:
-video
-podcasts
-contacts
-lots of music
-search function
-accessories are found everywhere
-includes an 'on the go' playlist
-volume limit control
Cons:
-smudges extremely easily, but can be cleaned
-i don't think seperate calendars are supported
-can't change volume unless in the music playing screen
