Well the imfamous apple corporation has come out with the video iPod the past week and i was wondering if anyone has purchased it yet? 300$ is a lot of money and you wanna make sure its worth it. Personally i just bought a iPod mini and the battery broke the second day. But one thing i do like about apple is that they have great customer support. They are going to fix it for free and if not pssible they said they would refund my money. SO its just some thoughts to think about before you purchase the new iPod. Does anyone know of any new features of the video iPod that are not in previous generations? (besides the fact it can play videos DUHHH!!)

Well, I have don't listeng this new, but you can give to us, some link to see it.. or just maybe to see what are the options that they are offerting to the costumers, and maybe I don't know, be the first in buy it LOL.

Where we can get more information about this new and cool thing?

Thanks for all

Yeah, my friend got it. Brought it to class, we were watching music videos!

It's BEAUTIFUL. I mean, for a tiny screen.

Big things in little packages, guys. It's great.

But for me, not worth $300. Sorry, Apple.

Ah depends on your usage of course. It is an okay stable product ... but how often would you use it ? Every day to watch those anime eps ? Excellent, your money's worth.

Well video ipod has 20 mins of battery life I think. It's also smaller than previous generations. I reckon the rest is same except for performance and zomg color screen. I still got a third generation ipod, which usually freezes for a dozen seconds orso and hard drive has been making some noise now and then. I do have it for 3/4 years though.

I don't own the video ipod, although I do own an ipod. I use the ipod, of course, to listen to music, books, etc. I use it at work when I don't want to be bothered. I use it when I am in between places; usually when i'm travelling. I use it when I work out. These, I'm sure, are not unique to me. In every case though, I use it because I want to add a little 'soundtrack' to my day. nothing too obtrusive. Just to lighten the day. Meaning... I don't want to know that I'm using my iPod. I don't want to focus on my ipod. I want to focus on my life. So, in my opinion, how could a video iPod ever be a must have gadget??? And i haven't even talked about battery life yet!

I would love an Ipod Video.

I currently have an Ipod Mini. I've owned it for about 2 years now...the battery life is starting to wear thin. I also have a lot of music. So I have to be constantly deleting old songs from my Ipod to add on to new songs. Which is a huge pain in the butt. Also, you can now watch video podcasts on your Ipod Video. !!

How awesome would that be? Being able to watch AND listen to podcasts on your Ipod. AND having enough space for lots and lots of songs.

I say No! sorry but i am a habitual Apple hater!!
My phone is a better and bigger screen than this!! and it doesnt cost as much and guess what? its a phone too!!! and can do wifi etc...dont be fooled by good advertising and word of mouth from people that know nothing (this is how apple win market share) about tech ..just that it looks good..style over content loses in this house I am afraid

For some reason many people are obsessed with the wheel interface of the ipod. It's the only special thing about it, and it isn't really THAT great. Touch screen is better, usually, and although the wheel is potentially one handed you really have to hold the ipod for it to work.
I still don't understand why apple's sales and the MP3 stuff exploded when the iPods came out, are they really THAT great?

Well if you belive the HYPE Apple invented the mp3 player....LOL!!

iPod is like the rip-off company for people who don't know and won't bother to search for better products.

They overcharge you for everything, i mean a stupid leather case for an iPod is at least $20 its pathetic.
