Avis sur le produitApple iPod classic 5th Generation White (60 GB)

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY IPOD VIDEO

The video ipod is the next best thing from apple, ever. The video ipod is no more than the size of a slim digital camera, and it can play all the songs you can imagine! The video ipod is great, but it has some problems:

PROS:

Very Thin and Small For Something of its capabilities

Works Well, Usually

Comes With Award-winning iTunes Software

Includes everthing you need right in the box

Cons:

Scratchs Easily,(put it in your pocket and it comes out scratched, even if there was nothing in your pocket.

Headphones are awful so you will need to pay twenty bucks for another pair.

Has random gliches that are annoying.

Apple's customer service is awful and after 90 days you have to pay for your customer service.

So, to conclude, if you are in the market for the video ipod, buy it! But take good care of it and treat it like your only child.Lire l'avis complet...

Great audio.

The fifth generation iPod classic does have great sound quality, better than any of my other devices. No wifi, Bluetooth, or touch screen, fortunately I don’t need any of those features. All you need to do is plug in a good set of headphones and enjoy the music. Lire l'avis complet...

60 GB Apple Ipod Video

Love the huge amount of music/videos it can hold. My only problems with it... Screen is very easily scratched, doesn't come with any kind of software for transferring dvd/video on it, and the battery doesn't last quite as long as they say(they claim up to 24 hours, I'd guess more like 20 and that is if you are just listening to music with the backlight off, significantly less if your watching videos, playing games, or flipping through the menus a lot)
I'd definately reccomend it to anyone but be prepared to shell out $100+ on extra acccessories(skin, fm transmitter, video transfering software, etc) Also, unless your music library is huge, you ay want to go with the 30 GB version instead. It is smaller, lighter, cheaper, and can still hold a ton of stuff. So far I have only filled about 15 GB on mine.Lire l'avis complet...

carry your entire collection of music, video and data..

This iPod is a little bigger than the 30gb cousin, so keep that in mind for portability. It makes up for that by holding 15,000 songs or 150 hours of video - unbelievable.

I don't personally need the video functions since I don't commute on a train or plane, but I do like the fact that you can view photos.

This thing is great on battery life (approx. 18 hours) and it is a bit thinner and lighter than the previous versions of the 60GB and 40GB 4th generations. If you watch video, don't plan on more than a few hours of battery since that really sucks the juice down fast.

If you don't need video or photos, consider the 4th generation 40gb or 60gb iPod Photo - save yourself lots of cash and get a great iPod for music.

Get a protective skin or case, these scratch easily.

Overall this a great iPod for those who want nothing but the most your money can buy.Lire l'avis complet...

It's just the coolest thing I've ever owned.

Besides what you can read for yourself on apple.com, I'll tell you what I have found. These are just raambling snippets of info that may spark your interests. With a little research on these topics, you'll be on your way to enjoying the magnificent iPod.

I have dropped my iPod twice. Once in a train station in Canada on a granite floor. No Damage. Not a scratch. Not a problem. Simply amazing.

Sunscreen will damage the plastic of the iPod. You would think they tested the plastic for tis since it is a must have item at the beach or pool. I have a permanent finger print on the face now.

The 29.00 USD digital camera adapter by Apple is really, very cool. I take it with me on vacations to clean my memory stick when it's full. You just plug your camera directly into it by usb. It uses a good bit of iPod battery power and takes a bit more time than you'd expect, but it works well. You can upload the picture files from your iPod to your PC when you get home. Make sure your iTunes option is set to use the iPod as a harddrive when attached.

I bought the Apple dock, but hardly ever use it. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't buy it.

MUST HAVE! There are clingy, removeable clear screen protectors you can buy to protect the plastic face of your iPod. Buy them (they usually come in pairs). It will keep the screen from scratching. Made by Madkatz, ClearTouch, etc. Search "iPod Screen protectors" on Ebay.

Every Tuesday, Apple updates their store with a free tune. It's usually excellent, but it's usually someone you've never heard of before. You don't have to own an iPod to use iTunes. Download it and reap the same benefits.

You can subscribe to the free Podcasts of your choice in iTunes. These Podcasts are very entertaining. There are meny topics and areas of interest in iTunes. There are additional casts on the web. Again, You don't have to own an iPod to use iTunes. Download it and reap the same benefits.

If you search the web, you can buy software that will rip your DVDs and digital home video to ipod format. I didn't think I'd ever use video on the iPod, but I use it more than the music feature at times.

Google Video Beta will allow you to download most of their content for iPod. If it is an option for the video of your choice, it will be in the dropdown menu.

Do your research before you buy a charger. The iPod video only come with a usb cable for charging via the powered usb on your pc. Apple's wall charger uses the usb cable and costs 30.00 USD. Look at other choices like Belkin. For the same money, you get more.

Buy the Apple in-ear bud style headphones. Also buy Shure E2c foam sleeves. Take off the grey rubber Apple tips and put the Shure's on. The sound quality is the best you'll find for the price. You get a better seal in the ear canal. I have a $300 set of Denon audiophile can style headphone with 40mm drivers. The Apples sound as good. For noise isolation and improved bass, this trick is for you. I had to set my iPod EQ to reduce bass to balance the new level. It's great now.

Unless DLo made improvements to the transpod for your auto avoid it. It has poor sound quality and low level output. I usually listen to my audio in the car on level 18. With the DLo I have to increase the volume to 35+ for the same output. At that level, background noise is amplified during quiet passages. It is an excellent charger, all downfalls aside.

I hope you like the review!!Lire l'avis complet...

Could perform much better.

The ipod arrived in okay condition. You can tell it is gently used. The ipod lags quite a bit when turning it on and skipping songs. You can hear the hard drive 'clicking', which worries me that it won't last long. The battery lasts for maybe 6 hours before I have to recharge. For the price, it is a decent product, but it does not perform like it has actually been refurbished with a new battery installed.Lire l'avis complet...

My first iPod - 60 gig Video

I decided to buy this DAP because I was sick of all my cd's and their aptitude towards getting scratched. I have a Sony PSP but storage is limited to a couple gig max and the volume is much to low to use in anything but a quiet environment. So I got a 60 gig model so I could put all my music in one place. I played with the Apple firmware and iTunes but found them far to restrictive. So I have installed Rockbox on my iPod and am enjoying being able to play all my music, fine tune the sound and controls, and have a wide variety of themes and games to choose from. The iPod is good, the iPod+Rockbox is great!Lire l'avis complet...

An classic iPod that still works great for me.

I couldn't be happier. I thought my ancient iPod could never be replaced, and tried replacing the battery in my old iPod but "new" batteries (I don't know how long they were hanging out in storage) did not work. So I started looking for a replacement and found this. I guess I am stuck in my ways because I tend to want to continue using old computers with ancient software, iPods, etc. that have worked for me and don't want to upgrade when what I have used just works fine. So this iPod works and does everything I want. That's all I can ask.Lire l'avis complet...

finally, some solid reasons for ipod purchase.

before buying the 60gb video ipod i have now, i owned a 20gb creative zentouch. though that player was pretty satisfactory as well.. apple soon had so many features the zentouch didn't, i had to switch.

the layout in general.. quite nice. the screen's big enough to impress someone upon the first sight of it, as is the picture quality. the 30gb is TINY. (i bought a black 30, and exchanged it for a white 60 the next day.) after having both the 30 & 60, it's fair to say that they're both an amazing weight & size for their respective storage capacities. both quite impressive. unfortunately, it still has the same shiny metal back casing that scratches AMAZINGLY easily, as does the front panel/screen. i didn't take the plastic cover off til i got ahold of a case, and mine's still come out scratched a bit.

the music playback. excellent. including the album art on the 'now playing' display is fantastic. reaches great volume, but i haven't heard it on anything but the issued headphones, so i don't really know how it stacks up in terms of bass and whatnot. only complaint i'd have is, after using a creative product for a year.. i miss the 'find' option. that is, with every list of songs, albums, and artists, at the top you could click 'find' and choose a first letter to jump to. once i get completely used to the scrollwheel, i'm sure that won't be a huge problem.

the video playback. most people are complaining about this feature, and what i will say is that i'd STRONGLY recommend buying a fourth-gen ipod or a different brand if you aren't a) computer literate or b) have a computer literate friend that can give you a hand. because if you don't have a good understanding of video file types, qualities, and conversions, you WILL NOT be able to use this feature easily. unless, of course, you use itunes' video purchases. (to give you an idea.. if you want a tv show, you'll be purchasing them for $2 an episode.) unfortuantely, apple didn't make this feature easy to use. the player itself is fine.. in fact, the video quality is exceptional given the fact that it's mostly a music player. i will say that the only time my ipod has frozen, it's been while watching videos. it gets a little fritzy while viewing them in terms of using the scrollwheel, but it hasn't been a major issue for me yet.

otherwise.. it has a great photo storage capability, four games, a clock, stopwatch, contacts, calendar, etc. all kinds of extra features NOT INCLUDING an fm tuner, which would have been nice to have.

and for older ipod users.. if you have accessories that connected at the top of the ipod, they will no longer work on the new ipods. things like the itrip have been rendered useless.

overall - thoroughly research the mp3 players available. creative, sony, and iriver all have great contributions. depending on YOUR personal music collection and intentions, you may be more fit for a nano.

be practical.Lire l'avis complet...

iPod fun

I have been a loyal Ipod owner for years. My previous iPod was a 30g fifth generation. I had to decide between increasing my gigs or getting a touch screen with less room on a hard drive. I decided on the 60g 5th generation for the following reasons.

1.) All the music I own in the world was on my 30g along with lots of pictures and six or seven games. I have started listening to books on tape. A few books filled my remaining memory. I couldn't tape a lot of books for future listening or a long trip. I had to delete often.
2.) BUDGET: The minimum room I would need on an iPod touch would be the 32g that would cost cost me around $400. The iPod touch is a "fun" iPod and I am sure I would download lots of games and fun things. There wouldn't be much room for anything else.
3.) Form Factor: the 60g is noticeably thicker than the 30g. But its not enough to annoy. All the accessories and cases still fit fine.
4.) Value: 60g is a lot of room. I listen to my iPod a lot. I have also added tv shows and a few movies. There is plenty of room to spare.

So, while this iPod can't compete for "touch screen fun", I still have a lot of fun with my 60g. A person would have to work very hard to fill a 60g.Lire l'avis complet...
