Hi Everyone, my Brother brought the Apple ipod, model he have here is a 60GB version of the fifth generation iPod. This improves on the iPod photo offering the same 60GB capacity in a case that’s only 1.4cm thick and weighs only 157g – that’s a thinner and lighter than the original third generation iPod, which held only a quarter of the capacity. That’s a progress.
If you go for the 30GB version though, you’ll get a deliciously thin device that’s only 1.1cm thick and a flyweight 136g, which is amazing for a 30GB player. By contrast, Creative’s 30GB Zen Vision M is a lardy 1.8cm thick and 160g.
There’s also a fairly strong consensus that the iPod is still the best looking MP3 player out there. It’s just beautiful to look at. With its sleek frontage and the silver back it’s a desirable piece of tech jewellery. However, it is susceptible to scratches and finger prints so I’d recommend buying a protective case at the time of purchase – there’s certainly a wide choice available. As with the nano, it’s available in black or white. Personally I think the black is cooler. The click wheel sits in the centre and the screen size is 2.5in to better accomodate video playback. It’s not however, widescreen. Like the nano, the slot next to the headphone socket has been removed so your previous generation headphone remotes won’t work. The headphone socket has been moved to the right and the hold switch in now on the left.
So Give me a comment on the Apple ipod.
