CNET Asia Review

Excellent

8.3

out of 10

The good: Improved video battery life and brighter screen; gapless playback; new features such as instant search and enhanced games; movies now available in iTunes 7; excellent overall value.

The bad: Still no FM radio; small screen not conducive to movie viewing; proprietary USB cable; narrow native video-format compatibility; body is still scratch prone.

The bottom line: The amazingly low priced updated Apple iPod gets many under-the-hood improvements, but it's still not a true video player.

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Gorgeous!!!
Cons: Poor Battery Performance (As Usual!!!), EXPENSIVE (As Usual!!)
Opinion:
1) The best player you can buy. This is one product which is being benchmarked by all competitors!!
2) Design is flawless...The other products you get in the market are pretty ugly compared to this
3) The touch sensitive scroll wheel is terrific..
4) The new HeadPhones are pretty good!!!..with proper balance of bass and treble
5) Poor Battery Performance
6) Sound Quality is nothing great!!! The IPOD appeal sells!!
7) Bluetooth feature would have been usefull..
