  • Abstract:  With a choice of 30 or 60GB storage (for the record we tested the 60GB model) the new iPod has a been fitted with a luscious and wonderfully crisp 320x240 pixel, 2.5in screen for those of you who want to buy music videos off iTunes

  • As a versatile video player, its not a good choice. But if youre looking for a player mostly for audio use plus occasional video viewing, its perfect - and it offers better value for money than previous iPods, too. Richard Baguley and Spencer Dalzi...

  • 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.
  • 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 amazingly low priced updated Apple iPod gets many under-the-hood improvements, but its still not a true video player.

  • Design, Interface et finition soignées, Qualité audio correcte
  • Coque salissante, Autonomie très faible en lecture vidéo, Casque fourni médiocre
  • Il manquait aux précédents iPods une qualité audio digne de ce nom, cette faiblesse est aujourd'hui réparée. Si vous aimez la simplicité et les jolies choses, c'est le baladeur (presque) ultime. ...
