Apple IPOD Video

Overview
The apple IPOD Video starts off with a much better feel and display than its other predacessors. It's slimmer and holds more on the Harddrive, now we IPOD videos with 60 and 80GB drives more than enough for movies, music and pictures. The demensions are just awesome.
It is about 10% thinner than the old 4th GEN 20GB Ipod which is quite remarkable.



Display
It has a wider LCD Screen measuring at 2.5" with a QVGA Resolution. And when watching a video on the Ipod you'll be able to view it in more than 65,000 colors which is stunning quality, even though we'd still like it to be on a 3" display we'll still settle for 2.5" at the moment.



Controls
Whats more to say about this catergory. Everyone knows how to work an Ipod and this is certaintly no different, no instruction manuals needed here, just go at it as soon as you open it up and get it charging.
The controls are straight forward for anyone with an easy accesible click-wheel to scroll numerous videos, songs and pictures, a play button, a fast forwards/skip and a rewind button and a menu button for easy accesibility to the menu. All of this is located on the click-wheel. You can use the add-on Ipod control which is good if you are wanting to use it on the Television.
But all in all it's an ease to navigate and play Videos, Songs and pictures.

Features
The features offered by the new Apple Ipod is the fact that it can play videos. The video format is H.264 mp4. Moving up to 768kbps in a resolution of 320x420 pixels with 30 frames per second. The videos on the ipod run smoothly and perfectly.
You can also watch your videos via television by connecting the AV RCA Cables to the dock in to your AV Inputs in your TV, the only downfall is because of the limited resoulotion it doesn't look to good on your television set but i guess that is not the entire purpose it was created for.
You can also store your images from your camera on to the Ipod which is ideal if your away from a computer and don't want to lose those photo's or if you need room on your Camera's Card.

Conclusion
All in all the new Apple Ipod Video is a great product produced by Apple and is a great portable device which can store and play most formats of media.
