Hey dudes i jus got my ipod video shipped from abroad. damn its good. when i got it in its immaculate white ipod socks, i was asking wat is this. its thinner than u cud ever imagine. to quote from digit, "Pictures dont do justice to it". its video quality is superb. but 1 hitch. u have to buy quick time pro to convert videos to ipod format. this is only for non-mac users though. mac users have some other software in the sys that allows coversion. Anyway i'll let u in on a freeware which allows conversions. its called videora ipod converter. i dont remember the website address from where i downloaded it but as always , jus search in google u'll find it. and also apple has released a new remote control which incorporates fm radio in to it for 5G ipods. As for now all i can is i am totally addicted! 8) by the way try to take part in the poll i'm jus curious.
 
Be very careful. Some kind of screen protector if very essential. I've had it for about 3 weeks. Scratches easily even though I rarely take it out of the soft pouch.

One of my major gripes is no wall charger is included. Apple wants you to pay $30 for this "accessory". A good workaround would be to use your Playstations USB port for charging while you watch videos on TV via the video-out of your pod.

i have never fancied iPods and that sums it all, neither do i have the luxury of spending on one, when i have the money I upgrade my PC,

It's 14hrs for audio as advertised. I get upto 12 hrs on mine. Battery life sucks for video, <2hrs. This problem is easily solved, though. Either get any USB wall charger OR plug it into your Playstations USB port while watching videos on TV. I bought an USB power adapter from Carrefoure (local supermarket) for QR 30 (about INR 400). Apple charges US$ 30 for theirs. :evil:

tats real cheap! anyway i got to find some other method for solving the battery life problem. i dont have playstation and so now i stick to charging from computer while watching movies. but why bother connecting to computer to watch movies? u r better of watching the movies in the computer itself. and by the way i have a 30 GB white one and i am glad to tell you i can watch movies continously for about 3 hours.
And 1 more thing apple's new version itunes allows conversion in itself though there is no dvd conversion. so for dvds i still stick to videora ipod converter. i suggest u try out this software also iArt for putting album art and lyrics automatically to ur ipod. but its shareware :-(

I'll bide my time for the 6G, even if it'll be next year, because looking at Apple's patents, it'll surely be a widescreen stunner!
