    Overall I really like my ipod

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 28, 2005 | 43 out of 49 found this Apple iPod Video 30GB White review helpful

    Pros: Awesome for just sitting around. The new video is great. I love that the new ipod is so small and can hold 7,500 songs!

    Cons: It scratches very easy. The battery gets eaten up, and you have to replace the battery every year.

    The new ipod's are cool but they need to improve somethings. Like the battery gets burnt up fast when you watch movies and photos. I love that you can watch movies on it and the slideshow option is cool when listening to music. I use my ipod a lo...t at school and does the job. Read more Less

    Best mp3 player possible

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 3, 2006 | 15 out of 18 found this Apple iPod Video 30GB White review helpful

    Pros: Video, huge storage, iTunes, click wheel, color screen, album art, photos, games

    Cons: Scratches easily, battery goes fast when watching vidoe

    I got an iPod for Christmas and I am very satisfied. I have read a lot of reveiws that say that you can't put you own movies on it. NOT SO!! All you have to do is download a piece of free-ware called pspvideo9. Then, you back up the DVD, and tran...scode it, boom, you have a movie all ready for your iPod. The click wheel is amazing, it makes music navigating soo easy. Another, A lot of people have been saying that iTunes is hard to use. I highly disagree. It is the easiest way to organize music, it is by far easier then Windows Media Player. The only thing that I do not like about this player is that it scratches very easily. So, what my Dad did was measure a piece of laminating paper (we have a laminating machine) to the size of the screen, and tape it to the screen. But since I am clumsy, and I will probably drop this thing, I bought a JLO Jamjacket. It is a very nice case. I have dropped the iPod while it was in the case and it still works perfectly. I hope the reveiw helps you. Read more Less

    more than worth it

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 7, 2006 | 9 out of 12 found this Apple iPod Video 30GB White review helpful

    Pros: compact, beautiful screen, great features

    Cons: accessories can be pricey

    When I first got my iPod, I thought it was pretty expensive at ~$300 [NOTE: if you're a student or work at a University, get the academic discount!]. Now that I've had the player for a couple months, it'd be worth it at twice the price. T...he video compenent, while not quite perfect, definitely adds a whole lot to the experience. Read more Less

    Expected More Quality

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 16, 2006 | 7 out of 11 found this Apple iPod Video 30GB White review helpful

    Pros: Potable, stay clean (no scatches) with a case, Good Value, Easy to use

    Cons: Short Short Battery Life, Many problems along the way

    Well everyone dosent care about the good points so lets start with the bad. Low Battery Life: I bought my iPod with my home made 14-year-old money. 2 or 3 months later I took a trip to New Orleans, Louisiana. This Flight Started in MN, had a detour ...in IL, then finally made it to new orleans. We we're only to use ipod ON the plane (Misson trips rules) By the time I made it to Louisiana, my battery icon had just a pinch of color left in it. So of course I had probably 10 minuetes of ipod for the ride home. The ipod probably lasted me a little over 4 hours. Watching videos makes bettery power fly. Hard drive Overheats: At the weirdest times, pretty much everytime after I finished charging, or upgrading my ipods hard drive would over heat. One time it switched to a bright white screen, yet the light kept running. It dosen't let me press any buttons. What the crap am I suppose to do? Put it in the freeze? No, so I just wait for the battery to run out. So the bettery is out and I can plug it in again (as I couldn't before) and it works fine. This happend 3 times to me and I havent even botherd to call customer evil- I mean customer care. On the flip side the ipod video is a fun and easy way ofmaking time fly. You may have heard that ipods scratch alot? I bought a 30 gig black ipod (blacks scrath ALOT more I guess) and bought a case right away that covers, body, and screen. after what? 5 months NOT A SCRATCH ON IT! The ipod may have some kinks to be fixed, it is a great mp3. With a little luck and you being careful enough you should be just fine. The people who have problems with suctomer care damaged the ipod themselves. I fyou be careful you wont even have to go through that. -Luke Grothe Read more Less

    Needs some work

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 15, 2006 | 4 out of 6 found this Apple iPod Video 30GB White review helpful

    Pros: Video and audio quality are great

    Cons: Very fragile and customer service is horrible

    I had the 60G IPOD for 12 days when the LCD cracked. Most of the screen is now black. I, like many people, had the IPOD in my pocket when this occurred. After waiting an hour for customer service they told me that it was an accident and is not covere...d. Therefore, I would have to pay the replacement fee. At this time the customer service representative suggested that I just purchase a new one (as if he was doing me a favor) due to the high replacement costs. I was shocked and disappointed. I would not suggest spending $400 on this product. Read more Less

    agree with howard

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 11, 2006 | 4 out of 6 found this Apple iPod Video 30GB White review helpful

    Pros: great fun to have

    Cons: warranty useless

    My son purchased 1/2 the ipod and we purchased the other as a gift for him. He is not a kid who is hard on his belongings but still is a kid where things get put in backpacks, etc. He began having difficulty with his ipod after about 6 months and sen...t it in for repair. The service dept said there was a dent on the back of the player and therefore the warranty was void. We, like Howard, were told we could purchase a replacement, but the price was the same as a new one. Also had to pay about $50 to send it in only to be told it wasn't able to be repaired. When we received the damaged ipod the dent was only able to be seen if you held it in good lighting at the right angle. He kept it in a sleeve for a time and then a fairly stiff cloth covered case, but apparently not a hard enough case to protect it from denting. If a produce isn't ready for normal wear and tear, it shouldn't go to market. If you purchase, put a hard case on it and use very gently. Like the service dept told us, " this item is like a tiny computer and has to be treated as such." Wish they had put a warning label on it telling us to not carry on, don't enjoy it, just sit at a table and listen nicely to your ipod video lest you lose your warranty and the bucks that you worked pretty darn hard to earn.

    Should Keep You Satisfied

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 13, 2006 | 4 out of 6 found this Apple iPod Video 30GB White review helpful

    Pros: GREAT LCD, thinner

    Cons: Battery life, scratching

    The Video is overall a 9/10, but it's not real easy to load videos. Also, the battery life runs low QUICK compared to a guaranteed time span of 12 hrs (?), and somehow, the back just achieves these scratches from practically nowhere!

    The new member of my family...

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 4, 2006 | 3 out of 4 found this Apple iPod Video 30GB White review helpful

    Pros: quality, portability, user friendly, support

    Cons: price, new software

    My old iPod died on me, even though the guys at the Apple store did what they could. I ended up buying a new 30GB video iPod (a nice upgrade from my old one). It has a bigger, color screen, plays videos, and holds even MORE songs. It's also light...er and slimmer then my old one. And I know from experience that if anything were to go wrong with it, Apple is there to help. The only con I could find had to do with the software and transitioning to a new Pod. But I think that had more to do with my PC. I was afraid that I would lose all my songs (more than 2,000). But I didn't, they were all still there and everything worked perfectly. Apple, keep up the good work!! Read more Less

    Pretty Darn amazing

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 23, 2006 | 1 out of 2 found this Apple iPod Video 30GB White review helpful

    Pros: Holds tons of songs

    Cons: Kinda Bulky.. battery power.. not so good

    For months, I'd been begging for an Ipod.. perferably the Nano. I was scrolling through my music library, when I realized a Nano wouldn't hold my music. After serious pleading, I got my desire. The only serious problem is the battery powe...r. One would have to charge it overnight for full power if the battery became 1/2 full. That def. slows me down sometimes, especially if I'm in the mood for Christina and my iPod's charging. iPod's are def. better than CD players, especially when it comes to portability. I recommend it to anyone! Read more Less
