Product Description: Apple iPod Video 30GB Black

Witness the evolution of the revolution. First it played songs. Then photos. Then podcasts. Now iPod plays video, changing the way you experience your music and more. Again. In lighter, thinner 30GB and 60GB models starting at $299, the new iPod is music to your eyes.

Better Yet
Time for the world's best music player to take the stage for another encore. In 30GB and 60GB(1) models that hold up to 15,000(2) songs, full-color album art and up to 25,000 photos(3), the new iPod makes the most of your music and more. Yeah, you've heard that tune before. Only now, you can watch it, too. With support for up to 150 hours(4) of video and a 2.5-inch color display, the new iPod lets you take music videos and TV shows on the road.

More and Less
The new iPod boasts up to 20 hours of battery life(5), five hours more than before. Plus, you get a bigger display and one more iPod color - sleek black. But here's the kicker: At under half an inch thin, the new 30GB iPod takes up about 45 percent less room than the original iPod. Even the new 60GB model is 10 percent thinner than the fourth-generation 20GB iPod. More features in less space? Sounds like iPod.

Hold Everything
Now you can put all your music in your pocket and still have room for, well, practically everything else. Catch up on your reading with audiobooks. Browse your memories with photo slideshows, complete with music. Watch video podcasts, music videos and your favorite TV shows. Consult your calendar or look up an email address. Even check the time in another city or time your fastest lap. The new iPod keeps it all close at hand.

Spin Some Tunes
The Apple Click Wheel gives you access to your entire music, photo and video library - from one thumb. Control volume and browse using the touch-sensitive surface. Play. Pause. Rewind and fast-forward. Rate your favorites. Create playlists on the go. Launch photo slideshows. The Click Wheel puts everything at your fingertips, so you can keep your eyes and ears on the music.

Sync, Look and Listen
Playing your iPod is only half the fun. Try filling it with downloads from the iTunes Music Store. Choose from over 2 million songs, 20,000 podcasts, 2,000 music videos or your favorite ABC and Disney television shows, download them to your Mac or PC and sync them to your iPod. Add an optional audio cable to play music from the iPod to your home stereo or use an optional S-video cable with iPod to play VJ on your TV. You can perform the same big-screen feat with iPod photo slideshows. Oh, and you can do it all from across the room using the optional Universal Dock and handy new Apple remote.

    Coolest iPod on The Market

    By Christian  Nov 6, 2005 | 414 out of 562 found this Apple iPod Video 30GB Black review helpful

    Pros: Plays 75 hours of videos ; Sleek colors ; Big Screen ; Original Click Wheel ; Lots of Bright Colors on Screen ; Picture Quality is Increidible! ; Loud headphones ; Able to hold 25,000 Photos

    Cons: Doesn't have a camera ; Batteries waste really fast when listening to music and looking at pictures ;

    I bought this 2 weeks ago and I still have it in its sexy, sleek, black color! The price isn't bad at all knowing that you can play 75 hours of video and hold 25,000 photos, and hold 7,500 songs all on the 30GB iPod. Also, this 30GB iPod is 30% t...hinner than the old 20GB model! Best iPod yet!!! Read more Less

    Pros: Great design, bigger and better screen, black option

    Cons: Freezes, battery lasts only 3-4 h, scratches easily especially on back and controller

    I bought my 30g video 4 weeks ago, and here are some pros and cons: Pros; nice design, good sound quality (you can manually set an equalizer before you import songs using itunes if you like, since an equalizer on ipod doesn’t do much justice), bigge...r and better screen. Cons; the first one I got had problems, it froze all the time, and was unresponsive, so I had to wait like a day before it started to work again (as a result, I exchanged it, if your ipod does this, take it back within 14 days, otherwise they will most likely repair it but not exchange it, who wants to spend $300~400 on a defect item!). Also, THAT first one had very minor scratches, so I am thinking it may have been a refurbished one. If apple has guts to sell a refurbished item as a NEW item, somebody better sue them. With my second one I have so far no problem. Also, the battery does not last as Apple claims, it lasts only 3~4 hours just listening to music (even when screen light is off). Lastly, it should come with an AC adapter like everyone else claims, it is too greedy for Apple to try to make money when they are already making tons. Take home message, when you purchase it make sure it is without any defects, and if unfortunately that is the case, EXCHANGE IT FAST! Apple’s 14 days return policy should be changed. I bought it at a local Apple store, but after 14 days if you have problems YOU have to send it back to Apple, and Apple stores won’t do anything for you. I believe that if an item has issues, unless these issues are caused by costumers, Apple should let local Apple stores or any authorized dealers to exchange items even after 14 days. That is, if YOU APPLE thinks you can make a quality product, this shouldn’t be any hustle. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Apple iPod Video 30GB Black

  • PC World

    Now Playing: Video on the iPod

    For occasional video viewing, Apple's new media player is a great choice.Don't get me wrong: The 2.5-inch screen on my $299, 30GB, black shipping model (the company also has a white 30GB version, plus $399, black and white 60GB versions) is absolutely beautiful. The 320-by-240-pixel screen is bright and sharp, and videos look great on it. In my hands-on tests it offered crisp playback with smooth movement. The unit ran videos at roughly 30 frames per second, the same as a broadcast TV signal. Read more

    However, while it might not offer the groundbreaking video experience some were expecting, this is still a real class product. There's simply no other hard disk jukebox around that's as stylish or as easy to use as this beauty. Read more
