MP3 Players : Apple iPod Video 30GB Black

Video: No support for common video file formats-Go and buy a convertor sofware license for 30$ which is pathetic

Photo Storage: Has only synchronisation option, which means maintain a folder structure with all the images on your PC always else the next time you upload photos using iTunes, you will end up loosing your photos collection in iPod. Atleast I could figure out this.

iTunes: A sofware not easy to use. A simple software would mean connect your iPod and three buttons to upload songs, photos and videos without touching my existing collection in iPod. Had to research on lots of things.. the xml file, the references in xml file ... uh!!!

Battery Life: Just use the iPod in test conditions as mentioned in the apple site which gives arnd 12 hrs of playback. DARE!!! you touch the wheel and there goes your battery. ufff!!!! Pathetic

Charger: Good way of making money by keeping it as an accessory. Please go ahead and make iTunes, the USB cable and earphones as accessories.. that will be even more fun. We will have a handicapped iPod.

Please tk the pains to give a printed manual descriptive enuf ... enuf of money making... Hide Full Review

There are plenty of portable mp3 players out there that are better than the iPod. But there's this magic that draws you to the iPod.

I would assume it's because of the simple design and the touch sensitive menu system.. Whatever it is, this little thing attracts suckers like me to get one... Hide Full Review

I just bought this last night and I haven't taken my hands off of it. Haha it's enticing me away from busy day today, but I just can't help it. This product is worth buying because it is so simple to use. The video quality is phenominal. One downside of this is that the screen and the rest of the surface of the ipod scratches easily. What ever you do, set it down on something padded/soft so you can keep it scratch-free. Also, the battery life can be a little disgruntling. Make sure you turn off the backlight when it is unneeded because that is the main thing that drains your battery life. Other than those two negative aspects, it is a great mp3 player and i highly recommend it to anyone. Hide Full Review

Great ipod,best yet. I have this ipod and one video about 5 minutes long and it takes one fourth of the battery to watch it. A video I downloaded from itunes is 22 minutes long and dose not take it dow that much. It only last 2 hours with videos from itunes, not one off the internet. It is 45 percent thinner than the origional 20 gig. It comes with a white case that covers the whole thing. You can still turn up the volume through it though. It keeps it from getting scratches and messed up. Hide Full Review

I love my new ipod. I have only had it for about two weeks now and I'm in love. The picture as well as the video quality is amazing. It helps me to get through my science course, when I just play an episode of desperate housewives, that I purchased from Itunes, for only 1.99. It's definitely worth purchasing. Hide Full Review
