CNET Asia Review

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.

Can be used in useful ways

Feb 20, 2006

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: More features
Cons: There is a catch on video
Opinion:
I was told that the video has some unique format for which the software needs to be purchased. The product should have everything built-in so that the customer should not depend on any outside resources to make the best use of this product.

Doesn't impress me much

Rating: 4 out of 10 (Mediocre)
Pros: 
Cons: 
Opinion:
Apple has been coming out with iPods of the same design (the circle and the screen) for a year which is getting a little boring. Although this iPod can play video, the screen is just too small and also there is no fm radio. I would rather buy the feature-packed Creative Zen Vision over this.
