Abstract: The 80GB model is the best iPod that money can buy. It offers a massive memory capable of housing 20,000 songs and a gorgeously bright colour display that allows you to watch video clips and films. Even its battery is a cut above the rest and should ke...
Brighter screen. Longer battery life. Improved earbuds. Games. Lower price per gigabyte. 80GB is biggest ever.
Display is too small for watching movies. Clickwheel can be touchy.

The Apple iPod has added no major functions such as FM radio, wireless, recording; 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.
