MP3 Players : Apple iPod Video 60GB Black

I'm probably not the only one who realized this, but the fact that apple gives out free engravings is not because they are nice, it is so they can refuse to refund it. A good thing to know before you get your name on the new pod. I recently got a nano with my name on it, and now I want to sell it to buy the video, only it is much harder to sell an ipod with a strangers name on the back. Hide Full Review

this is my first ipod and I always tought that was something missing in the ipod and honestly I really like apple design, but their idea of everything white....don't know, So I got the black 5G with 60GB hard drive. it's unbelievable how easy to operate and how smoothly works with itunes.
great video quality and sound, I use mine with a pair of sony earbuds mdr-51 and sound is really really great.
okay now the bad news, there are just some things that for that money you are expecting are solved but..:
1. if you don't put a cover o a skin as soon you took it out the box... it'll be cover of scratches right away...So buy a cover on ebay for $10 and solve the problem.
(they included a cover, but you cannot operate the ipod with it)
2. If you don't buy the videos thru itunes... how are you supposed to put videos on it??? I mean, most of the people have their own videos and if you want to put them on the ipod... spend 30 or 40 bucks in a software to do that or spend a lot of nights finding out how to do it right with freeware (like me).
3. No electric (wall) charger included, it's only the usb.
4. No accesories in black... apple decide to change their minds and started selling black ipods...but with white earbuds and white remotes??? very odd.

Ok, that was it... $400 for this 60GB ipod worth it... but you go home with the feeling of they could have put some of the things I just mentioned in the box... but as soon as you start enjoying it you quickly forget how thrifty apple is. Hide Full Review

i bought this iPod about a month after it came out and i'm lovin it. i had the 2nd gen. ipod with the four touch buttons before and that battery never lasted, but this new one lasts like 20 hours. i have some full movies on mine and after i'm done watching one of those i usually have an hour of battery life left for another movie. anyone who says the battery life isn't good enough is wrong. also, you can easily find programs to get any kind of movie, tv show, or anything else to put on u'r new video ipod. there is nothing you can't put on it which makes it everything you need for portable entertainment and it fit right into any pocket (even the 60 gb). plus it's black! no more white, apple came out with a stylish, sleek new color for the ipod which makes it a lot more eye catching as well. the only bad things about it is that there aren't enough accessories out there for the new ipod yet like new protective covers. other than that, all other accessories that work for the older ipods work for the new.

I got this as a gift and I was totally excited. I love using it and it's an awesome product. The one issue I ran into was that some videos wont play unless they're converted to a specific format. The only recommendation was to purchase Quick time Pro 7 and convert them myself. I thought that was odd, especially if you pay 400 dollars plus tax and have to spend another 29.99 to actually watch videos, if they are not properly converted. That aside, I LOVE IT!!!

As i found out the new ipod the video one eat the batteries up like crazy. It was like eating it like anything i have seen. What I think is Apple is being cheap.Why? One is the batteries two is they are making us go out and buy the wallcharger for another 30 dollar when you have already spend 300-450 on the ipod itself. Other then these two the ipod could be damage really easy. Hide Full Review
