  • Incredibly thin and intuitive design; beautiful LCD; supports photo and video playback; seamless integration with iTunes, which boasts the worlds biggest music catalog and a new video store; smooth video; lots of extra features, such as a world clock,...
  • No extras included, such as a dock, A/V cables, or a power adapter; poor battery life for video; slight delay when playing video; no guarantee that your non-iTunes Music Store video will play on an iPod, even after using converted third-party software.

  • Abstract:  From complete denial that the Video iPod was coming to delivery in 8 weeks, the weird world of consumer electronics brings us the 5g iPod with Video replay. We see if Steve Jobs Baby is worth viewing?
