Until a couple weeks ago, I was the proud owner of a Creative Labs Zen Xtra 40GB. However, after that player began to show signs of aging, I did something that is very unlike me: I caught Apple Fever. I had heard great things about the Ipod Video, and it looked amazing in pictures, so I decided to go for it.
I bought the Ipod through Buy.com (however I later found out you can find a lower price at Shopping.com; here's the link. http://www.shopping.com/xPO-Apple-iPod-Black-30-GB-MA146LL-A ) When I opened up the box, I found the usual things. The Ipod itself, a user's manual, earbuds, etc. I followed the instructions to install the player and Itunes on my computer so I could transfer some music and videos to the player. Once I accomplished this (which was quite easy), I tested both the audio and video quality of the Ipod.
The Verdict...: Nice job Apple! The sound quality is great, the picture quality is awesome, and I can find nothing wrong with the Ipod Video. The battery life has been great for the past 2 weeks (I've only had to charge it once!).
My only complaint is how easily the glossy finish on the Ipod Video (especially the black version) easily scratches. I suppose there is no real way to prevent this without using some protective case. Needless to say, it might be a good investment....
