CNET Asia Review

By James Kim

Excellent

8.3

out of 10

The good: 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 stopwatch, and PIM applications; a galaxy of accessories designed for the iPod; great overall value.

The bad: No extras included, such as a dock, AV 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.

The bottom line: 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.

Cons is about volume adjustment using the wheel pad on the ipod

Sep 28, 2007

Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: Great screen resolution
Cons: Ipod doesn't have a button for user to adjust the volume
Opinion:
I feel that Ipod should have a button for user to adjust the volume level and it's difficult to use one of its features: Volume limit as when you set it too low.The next thing you know is that the volume level is too low that you can't hear your music.
