Its gotta be a Droolzmo. That's a great added functionality. I wanna own it. It's gonna make a big hole in your pocket baby. Seriously, Apple's bringing out some great new innovations. What next Steve?

a

Does it have flash memory or Harddisk??????????????????

 

[cyberia.in]

30 Gb and 60 Gbh ard disk.

And come on guys, it's not THAT great. It's just an iPod photo that can play some video, so it's a slighty larger screen, and a better processor.

@ cyberia: Well, the 5th Gen iPod has a slimmer frame, higher resolution screen which is also larger, better battery life and can play video! All this for the price of the older ones...I must say it is a great piece.

 

[thrash_metal]

Can someone post the price of the 30Gb model ???

It's good, OK, very good ! Goobi, i know you're an Apple fan, but I hoped for more from Apple with this release. As I said, it's evolutionary, not revolutionary.

The intention is not to compete with Archos and the others in the video market, just to give Apple a footing there.

Can someone post the price of the 30Gb model ???

$399 in the US. I don't know the official prife in India.

 

[vishalbhatia]

The Price for 60 GB is about 29,000. (Approx)

Box Contains:
- iPod 60GB Video
- Earbud headphones
- AC adapter
- USB 2.0 cable
- Getting Started guide
- CD with iTunes 6 for Mac and Windows and
electronic documentation.

 

[thrash_metal]

Guys, don't go for the ipod hoopla!

iPod video sucks...bigtime! Doesn't have the standard reverse or forward options to skip video playback nor does it support divX. You still feel like buying it, go ahead....waste your money. Besides, Apple has started using cheap components and the latest iPod Nano problems just confirm this. My friend recently bought a Nano only to get it replace coz it just wouldn't *play* after a day.

By the way, somebody posted the price of 30GB wrong. It's $299. The 60GB model costs $399.

Creative Zen Portable Media Center or the newer Zen vision are better options. Portable Media Center was released back in 2003 when apple was still designing iPod photo and it has a 50% off rebate going on getting its price down to just $250!! Zen vision sells for $399.

Zen Vision - $399

*images.creative.com/iss/images/products/headers/prod9882_hdr_1_6_1.jpg
Zen Portable Media Center - $250 (After rebates)

Look at their screen sizes....just fabulous!

And the most sensible, geeky way is to go buy a Dell Axim handheld for $450 which has the full Windows 2003 Mobile edition, apart from the Office suite and all other applications you may need on the move. Of course, playing videos, songs, or watching photos are just some of the many things* you can do with those sweet babies.

*wireless internet, games, GPS maps, etc, etc. 8)

What everyone must understand is that Steve Jobs never said it was going to be the Video iPod. It is called the iPod and that's it. Video functionality is a matter of just an added feature. It is best at what it does, play music. I don't think any of the other players can beat its neat interface...and clickwheel...
