I have got my hand on a 5th generation Ipod with video as so they call it on .It took me the whole day to figure out how to make it work. It was previously owned and now I got a hold of it. I tried the proposed method of resetting the ipod by pressing the select and Menu button together. That didn't work.

The neew ipod. I think that the ipod is a good invention but what is the point in making it so that you can watch vidio's. Someones bound to get run over watching a vidio because they wont be looking where there going so they will walk on to the road and get run over. Im perrfectly happy with my mp3 even though the other day i cracked the screen on it so i cant really see anything but its still working. But you know the little clicker thing on them that allows you to change the songs and move around, well thats kind of broke because most of the time it dosen't work. And i did the same with my dads mp3 and i cracked the screen, but for christmas ive got my dad an mp3 so it should be ok now. Even though his old one was 500 and summat mb ive got him an 128mb so thats a bit of a problem. But ny way back to the subject of the 5th generation ipod!! So who else out there would get this or not get it. I wouldnt get it because i dont want it.
Well, As You Know I Haven't Heard Any Soild Things On This. It Would Cost Alot To Put Moives On A IPod From ITunes. Even If You Were Willing To Pay For It, It would Take For Ever To DownLoad To Your Computer Than To Your IPod. So I Really Don't Think They Well BeComing Out With This Inless They Can Find A Way To Compress The Moive Files To Fit On A Ipod. I Know Ipods Can Hold Like 8 GB Of Space, Still Thats What Two Moives And No Music. As Of Now I Believe The Nao Is The Best IPod Out And I Am Looking Forword To Buying It Seeing As It Has 4 GB Of Space. Thats Almost 4 Times The Space Your Dad Had, So The Etra Moneys Pays Off. Also I Know You Can Put Images On Your IPod.... As Of Now If YoU Want Moives, Games And MP3s Get A Sony PSP. Has All Because It Runs Disk Not On A HardDrive For Moives.
Well This IS My Side O The Story See Yeah!

well... the psp is great for that sort of thing... but if ur a HUGE music person like i am... 128 megs in NO WHERE CLOSE to what i need... id like 40 gigs for my music and movies... the ipod is cool because of its look, storage capabiltiy and small size, and especially that scroll touchwheel thing... thatd be the only thing thatd make me choose the ipod over anything else... but as for videos... the original ipod could play videos if u got the hack for it... but the problem is still... the cost of these things... if u can put a normal movie or whatever on the new ipod (convert from avi/wmv to the itunes format... thatd be pretty cool but there is something better for this... im not sure what the new ipod looks like... if its the same or not but there is something that has good storage and a NICE screen... i forget what its called but itll run u about $500... but if u have the $$... its worth it if ur a media freak and u travel... so... how much does the new ipod cost? thats the only disadvantage to the ipod other than the stupid copy protected itunes... I HATE IT! they will never stop piracy.. they might as well stop trying... and i hate anything that makes a new format for something when it doesnt need to be... thats also y i hate word and would rather use wordpad unless i need to use word for formatting, etc... Y MAKE A NEW FORMAT? ok... thats my rant... lol... but as for the ipod 5... if u have the money and dont hate apple... go for it...
Actually...The speed of the data transfers for the IPod are as fast as can be using USB... It's about 1.5mbps to an IPod. Thats how much I get on my external HDD...So transfering stuff to the IPod shouldn't be a problem...I think it would be pretty cool to have an IPod that shows movies/videos...But I wouldn't really use that future I think. Plus it would use a lot of battery. The IPod's battery life now isn't that good so...That much be a disadvantage
I will not be buying the 5th gen until Apple realizes they were morons for not releasing it with firewire support. All iPods until now have had firewire support, so why does this one not?
Also, for the person who said Nanos are a great value, try thinking through that again. For $50 more you could be buying 30 gigs worth of space. I have a 40 gig Photo and I use it for not only music, but holding documents and program files. You could never do that with a Nano. There just is not enough space.
i think it's nice it can support videos, now but i really don't see a point in it, i mean mac is transforming the iPod in a mini computer or some kind of media computer, it's cool in some way but wasn't the concept of iPod to be a mp3? i mean just music? (im not vs the new video thingie in fact i see it very cool o¬o) but i just hope that they still be making the old models because in this moment i dont want to pay what, 500-700 dlls to get this new model <,< so how much would the older ones would cost now o_Ò?
as someone says, more feature the merrier, I guess Ipod is maximizing the potential of their product so if this is appplicable for someone then it's all good, we'll never know next generation will have cameras on them.
For me I think I have to pass on this, I do have my MP3 player which pretty perform what it is suppose to do, as for storage, my external hard drive will handle that well too
hmm.... im still not sure what to get for an mp3 player. The ipod nano is probly what will convince me to actually purchase an ipod. My brother has a rio and its alot cheaper than all these other mp3 players and its not like you need a 60 gigs worth of songs.
First of all, those of you that say the 5th gen ipod should have firewire support just dont know the facts. When transfering data to an IPod, USB2 is just as quick as firewire as shown by numerous reports. Just google it if you dont believe me.
Secondly, those of you who are saying that video is good but what is the point is that if you travel alot (subways, planes, etc) it is nice and handy to be able to watch a movie or tv show at your convience. It makes trips much easier.
I have got my hand on a 5th generation Ipod with video as so they call it on .It took me the whole day to figure out how to make it work. It was previously owned and now I got a hold of it. I tried the proposed method of resetting the ipod by pressing the select and Menu button together. That didn't work. Kept flicking back and forth with the Apple logo and a folder with a triangle that had an exclamation point in it. At this point I am a little frustrated because it should've work. I then plug it into the computer through the usb drive and it said to format the thing. So I did and what do you find out?? It didn't work. You can tell that right now I'm pissed. So then I decided to install the Ipod Updater on the Ipod site itself. Found out that didn't work to reset the Ipod to factory settings. Then I found out like an hour later that I had to download iTunes. Gosh. Now the darn thing is working. Gosh why does it have to be so hard to make it work. RIght now i'm just listening to music off of it. Finally! With a little headache in the end, I survived the test of Ipod retardedness.
AFter you figure out how to work it. Its not so bad after all. All you need is patience. I know some people who send it back and get another one. That cost some money. I don't have that money after getting an IPOD. So just work at it and perservere. The transfer of usb is fast. In my opinion it is.
i have the new ipod in black. its really good. i can get any video on to it because it takes mpg format. we went to buy a wall charger but we returned it because it was for firewire and we had usb so maybe they do have firewire for it. we have 650 songs on it right now which takes a measly 2 gigs. we can put full length movies on it but the battery cant really handle the movie playing. the screen seems bigger than the old ipods and its thinner which makes it even better. i would recommend it to any1.
PSP's are great for movies and games but the iPod is purely movies and photos they should maybe stick to that. PSP's are not good for music because of it's lack of space but then you just buy umd movies if wanting but the iPod has the Gb's of space for all the music but not the screen for the movies. I would rather not squint at an iPod screen. PSP screens have great quality for movies and games and you don't have to squint.
What fffanatics said is true. The usb 2.0's speed is 480 and firewires speed is 400. Though the firewire people released their new port a while back wich is 800 and something, and then guess what, the usb people are probably going to speed up again. Its like a war, which only ends up in our benefit. Well enough of that, it might seem like im hijacking . I really think that Ipod really needed video to stand up against the iriver and other players. It doesnt matter if people will see it or not, its just about technology and competition. If people dont like it with video they can get the shuffle or other versions anyway.
Yeah I was at Compusa and it was awesome. It can do like everything now. It is like a hard drive. Just store a movie or music video and just play it. It is great for boring classes. Its like the best it can get. I dont tihnk there is anything else an Ipod needs to retrieve. Maybe like comcast or like direct tv but that i dont know if that will ever happend. BUt as of now i think they achieved everything. Especially for the size of the thing.
Many people have been disappointed with the Zune- Microsoft's attempt at developing an iPod
killer media playing machine. I don't know too much about media players, but you would think
that if it has wifi capabilities, it should be able to go online. Well, the MS Zune lets you preview
other people's music, which you would then have to buy. I guess that the idea has some merit,
but come on? I digress. Does anyone think that the Zune will outsell the ipod this holiday season?
Some people seem to think so. With a price tag of $100 in some popular electroni....

Microsoft to launch Zune! QUOTE After trying for years to compete with the iPod through an
array of partners, Microsoft confirmed Friday that it plans to directly go after Apple Computer with
its own rival, Zune. Confirming weeks of rumors, Microsoft said it will launch music software and
players under the Zune brand, though the software maker left plenty unsaid in its confirmation.
"Today we confirmed a new music and entertainment project called Zune," Chris Stephenson, a general
manager of marketing for the software maker, said in a statement. "Under the Zu....
well, here is the picture and a short article I found: here, here! it is said to have wi-fi

from the device! it is set to launch sometime before christmas of this year. it is called the
'iPod killer', but, you never know, they may fail... i suppose you can use that term to any
mp3 player/company trying to be as successful as apple. the new iPod nano will also be debuting
sometime before christmas, sometime in the fourth quarter it is believed. This ....
Well first and foremost, I'll say this: I'm an iPod man. I love iPods, I have two of them in
fact, and I've done a lot of things with them like hacking them to play doom, and some other
cool stuff. 30GB is quite a bit for an mp3 player, let alone the 60GB version. So there's also
room for not only your music, photos, and videos, but your other files, because you can use it as
sort of like a flash drive. So in short, I can't get enough of my iPods. But recently I heard of
Microsoft coming out with their Mp3 player. Even though not many details have bee....

has anybody seen the new ipod tripod. as you all know the ipod can be placed in some portable

this is a pretty gud idea and a cool new thing that lots of people will buy because people with
shuffles hav not had any form of portable speakers to buy so far.....

QUOTE t's official. At an event in San Jose Wednesday, Apple ended months of speculation by
introducing the first video-enabled iPod, moving the company into the portable media center space.
"Yes, it does video," Apple CEO Steve Jobs said in his keynote address as the audience erupted in
applause. The new iPod sports a 2.5-inch TFT display in a design similar to the iPod Nano. The

hi friends, Apple has released a new version of Ipod. Actually it replaces the Ipod mini in the
ipod series. It is called the Ipod Nano. It is actually a slim ipod, 1.6 x 3.5 x .27 in size and
weighs 1.5 ounces approx 43 grams. It includes a color display and capability to view images and
slideshows... The battery life has also been extended. Chek out the detailed comparison chart at

This morning I was going to listen to some music, so I got my iPod, turned it on, and it reset (I
hadn't had it plugged in for a while). When I got to the music, it would go through half of a
song, then skip to the next. After doing this a couple times, it would just skip entire songs.
It'd skip six or seven, then do half of one, then skip six or seven more. Later I looked on the
internet for some ideas, so eventually I tried resetting it again, as instructed. This worked for a
little bit, but then it started skipping over songs again. I reset again, and it lost....
I have just got a new Ipod mini and they really do rock.........holding over 1000 mp3's at one
