Comments:
I love the design, I love the ease of use, I love how many different ways you can organize your playlists and albums. My favorite part would just have to be the sheer simplicity of the entire concept - carrying hundreds on CDs in a 2x4 inch space. I got...

QuickTake:

Pros: You have thousands of your favorite songs, all organized and easy to find (provided you take the time to organize them).

The i-Pod is a very satisfying Mp3 player, but you'll definitely need to buy a good, sturdy case, such as i-Pod Armor, especially if you're in to sports and you fall alot. I never did and it lasted me about 2 years before it stopped playing in the left e

QuickTake:

Pros: easy conrol setup, good sound, all around a great player

Product Rating: 4 star(s) Apple iPod 5G (30GB, video)

Comments:
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.

Review Verdict: Pay close attention to the new Apple iPod when you first hold one in your hands. Most of you will notice a design that's thinner, lighter and sexier than its predecessor's, as well as a new screen that dwarfs the Click Wheel.

QuickTake:

Pros: Incredibly thin and intuitive design; beautiful LCD; supports photo and video playback; seamless integration with iTunes, which boasts the world's biggest music catalog and a new video store; smooth video; lots of extra features, such as a world clock, a
Cons: 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.
