Creatives Zen Vision W, being larger-screened and chunkier, is designed for video above all other functions, but the Apple iPod Video sits elegantly on the fence. It’s an oversized music player but smaller than your average full-blown portable video...

Apples iPods rule the market for a reason. The Apple iPod Video is well up to the task of video and audio, and we are delighted with its user-friendly interface. However, if video is your thing then 2.5in of screen estate could lead to a pair of very...

Like the original 5G line, the new 5G iPod is available in two sizes. However, instead of 30GB and 60GB models, the new line gets you 30GB for £189 and a whopping 80GB for £259 – each model £40 cheaper than before. While getting more megabytes for y...

Apple has long since stopped upgrading its iconic MP3 player in any major way. Instead, it tweaks, primps, slims dimensions (although not in this case) and fattens storage, gradually making the iPod ever more lovely. The best upgrade in this latest g...

Music-player manufacturers have been concentrating on the lowish-capacity end of the market lately – new models typically feature between 1GB and 8GB of space. But the latest video iPod bucks that trend by piling on the bytes. This version can hold...

Apples new iPods, which are available in 30GB and 80GB capacities in black or white, were perhaps the least exciting announcement to be made at the companys Showtime event in San Francisco last month.

Before the imminent release of the iPhone, we take a good look at Apples newest generation of iPod, with 80GB of storage for movies and music.

Best-in-class transfer and management software. Classic design. Great sound. Videos look sharp even on the small screen.
Lacks some features without additional hardware. Interface is looking dated. No WMA support without re-encoding song file.
The iPod is the best digital audio player on the market, and there is still room for improvement. While other players have tried to add features and accessories to make up for their shortcomings, the iPod gets it right with a slick hardware design, e...

The latest full-size iPod can be considered generation 5.5, since the interface and design improvements arent nearly as drastic as they were from generation 4 to 5. The new model comes in 30GB and an ultra-roomy 80GB capacity. With the exception of th...

Audio battery life could be longer. FM tuner and recording capabilities require optional accessories. Video-format support could be broader.
The latest version of the iPod has a few enhancements, including longer video battery life, support for some cool games, a brighter screen, a search feature, and larger capacity (up to 80GB). And the price drop is nice too.

small but noticeable enhancements of the bass are definitely apparent, giving tracks an inoffensively warmer sound. With Bass Booster turned on, distortion is not absent in any of the 5G models, but is definitely lower, and has a smoother, less mecha...
Though improved in brightness and color accuracy over prior version, 2.5” screen is still too small for long-term video viewing, and users still must convert videos to one of only two compatible video formats. Unlike photos and videos, games can...

No extras included, such as a dock, A/V cables, or a power adapter; poor battery life for video; slight delay when playing video; no guarantee that your non-iTunes Music Store video will play on an iPod, even after using converted third-party software.
Get the affordable, sleek, and sexy 5G Apple iPod for its audio virtues. Although video looks great, poor video battery life and a relatively small screen hamper its appeal to video heads.

Still no pan and zoom for photos. Audio recording requires adapter. Optional, proprietary Apple AV cable costs $20.
