The iPod video is sleek, easy to use, and has tons of good features that can only be found in an iPod. With a gadget like this that can hold 25,000 photos, can play 75 hours of video and holds 7,500 songs in my opinion this is just an awesome device. The storage capacity is excellent. The 2.5-inch screen on the iPod video is sharp and bright and makes it fun when watching videos on it with its 320 × 240 resolution. Videos appear as a new item
on the top menu and are divided by category including TV shows, video podcasts, and movies category.
The navigation is the best in all MP3 players and audio quality remains the best.
Video looks remarkably comfortable on it. Brighter shots look very clear and crisp, though, as with most devices that play back compressed video, you can often see compression artefacts like banding in dark areas.
The iPod Video supports downloading music from iTunes 6, as well as video encoded as
H.264 or MPEG-4. The battery life is reasonable when playing back videos, and it can
last you around two and half hours.
You wouldn’t want to watch subtitled content or sports on the iPod Video because the
wide camera will make players small. One thing I like about this iPod is it remembers
where you stopped watching a video, so any time you go back to it, you can simply resume from where you left off. You can also brush through video, though not in real
time; you scroll through a progress bar, and the video jumps to the point where you stop scrolling.
The Verdict
