Apple iPod user reviews (30GB, video, black)

3.5 stars

"Great for its genertation, but that's where it belongs" on February 24, 2008 by mystery1reader

Pros: Holds about video and 7,500 songs, nice video and music quality, big screen to view song titles, etc. Slim, comes with usb connector and headphones

Cons: Small screen for video, occasionally will not turn off until you spend about five minutes continually holding down the play/pause button, battery life goes increasingly lower

Summary: Pretty much everything is stated about, but the worst problem is probably the battery. I set the backlight to 3 seconds to conserve, and even then, every time i leave the house with it i do everything i can to conserve energy because if i, for instance, am listening to music and every three minutes i use click wheel to change the song, and this goes on for two hours, then by the time i'm done the battery in in the red! in it's era the ipod video was great, but if you're planning on getting an ipod, and this one appeals to you, then go with the newer ipod classic which is the same basic idea, but more capabilites and long battery and more space, etc.
