"Video Ipod + $1.99 per download = Archos AV420 minus numerous features"
Pros: Gives me the opportunity to throw away $48 on an entire season of LOST
Cons: Paying for free TV, Non-user serviceable battery AGAIN?
Summary: Let me start by saying that I'm not an Apple hater. I think they are a smart company and make a decent product. What I'm trying to understand is... Why there is so much hype surrounding this "video capable" IPOD ?
I thin... read more >> -

"Hold off for one year. Not the "Next Big Thing""
Pros: Finally can do video.
Cons: The true video iPod will be out sometime next year (ThinkSeceret)
Summary: ThinkSeceret stated that this is not the "killer app" that Apple has planed to come out in 2006. Steve Jobs said that the iPod will succeed because its primary app is still music, and the market is still not ready for video, acording to NY Times

"Insanely great.. best iPod ever. Don't miss the point.."
Pros: Beautiful, incredible screen, video, almost perfect in every way.
Cons: Still want a radio tuner. Earbuds don't do the sound justice.
Summary: Just got my black one today. Let's do the music player first.. As expected.. everything you love about the iPod is here.. best-in-class interface, great sound (though those earbuds still aren't up to par). The new screen is a stunner. Bright and ... read more >>
