My new IPoD 80 GB!The black one.
The new iPod also has a brighter screen-by up to 60 percent. Not that the iPod had a dim screen in the first place, but brighter is always better, especially when it doesn’t come at the cost of battery life. In a side-by-side comparison of the old and new screens(at default brightness), the new iPod is noticeably brighter.
The iPod is still pretty easy to scratch, both on the soft and shiny plastic face and the classic metallic backside. Fingerprints love the iPod more than they do most players. You’ll definitely want to carry the iPod in a case, or at least protect the screen with adhesive film. I still have a problem with watching video for more than 30 minutes on that small 2.5-inch screen. Even a kickstand would help for hands-free viewing,
Once again, Apple does a good job of minimizing packaging and bundled accessories, which include a newly designed set of white earbuds, a proprietary USB cable, a soft case, and a dock adapter. Unfortunately, like many MP3 players these days, you’ll have to pony up extra to get a power adapter. You also don’t get an iTunes software CD, which leaves nonconnected folks in the dust. And while the futuristic headphones sound decent, they didn’t stay firmly in my ears(no foam earbud covers in this version).
