"Here it is, official pics and specs of the new video-enabled iPod: it’s the same width and height as the current mode, but thinner. It has a 320 x 240 pixel, 2.5-inch, 260,000 color display,20 hours of battery life, and supports playback of H.264 and MPEG4 at 30 fps. Has TV out and will come in both 30GB and 60GB versions, with the 30GB version being 31% thinner than the current 20GB iPod and the 60GB versionbeing 12% thinner than the current 20GB iPod. The 30GB will hold up to 75 hours of video and retail for $299. The 60GB version will hold 150 hours of video and sell for $399. Both will ship in one week."

Not a big fan of the Ipod-scam, but these looks/sounds like the shit.
The price doesn't seem too bad for a PVP with 30/60 gig hdd either.

Jomes coming to the light side of the mp3 player world.
:D
-
nice
-
battery only lasts for 2 hours if you continuously play video, 14 hours if you play mp3s (on the 30gb model) 20 hours on the 60 model

the battery, i listen 2 maybe 15 - 20 songs and its half way down, i touch a button and it says no battery power remains and go's off
i hate the thing but love it at the same time

Then why would you get another iPod? There are many, many other options. They might not be as "in" or "cool" but they can be just as good if not better.

I wanted to get a iriver h300, but they dont make them anymore i dunno y...What do you suggest is a good mp3 player?
-
i've had my original iPod now for going on 4 years .. never had any issues with it, battery still lasts for about 3-4 hours .. only reason im getting a new one is cause it only holds 5gb, and when using it as a portable hard disk, it's not alot of space

i think the reasoning behind all these bad things you hear is that there is soooooo many more ipods than any other player so your are bowned to hear some bad experiences here and there....know what i mean??/ the ipod is the best player on the market hands down....integration between the itunes software and ipod is amazing thats one of the main reasons right there....and the friendlyness of the GUI

i wonder wats next? maybe an ipod wit internet access?

Early of next year apple is coming out with a video ipod. Right now its just an ipod with an extra video feature.
Apparently its going to be simalir to a psp (larger portable widescreen), and its going to be specifically for videos.
I just ordered ipod online today, should arrive sometimes next week, post up my thoughts about it when ive had a chance to use it.

And you have tried all the other players, especially the ones that doesn't have the Apple-logo on them ?? (LOL) :D
If you had read reviews from sites/magazines that doesn't start with "i" or "Mac", then you would have noticed that a lot of players get higher scores than iPod, usually for having better batteries, more features, and of course, even 40GB players being cheaper than the 20GB iPod, and yet having more features and better battery.
As for friendliness of GUI, I will have to say that you will have to be a complete moron not to find most mp3-players easy to use within a couple of hours use, I became comfortable with Creative's GUI faster than the iPod, I've tried both. :)
I have to laugh at the iPod people bragging about their battery still lasts 3-7 hours, when my Creative plays at least 22 hours, and still keeps going. 8)

^ my ipod is 4.5 years old, nearly 5 .. i wouldnt mind seeing your creative use its original batteries for 5 years and still get a few hours out of it

plain and simple there is nothing as good as the itunes + ipod combo.... the itunes jukebox is awsome and syncs identicle to the ipod.... no work to be done plug in ipod walk out with your whole collection of music organized identicle to your itunes collection...as easy as it sounds i have yet to see anything like it...ive even had friends come over and we leaving to go out and shit and im like aw shit hold on let me add this new play list or this new album i just downloaded and all i do is drop my ipod on my dock and take it off and we out in under a few seconds....

Apple has always been about simplicity and design. What do you use your MP3 player for? To listen to your music. It's always been about the music with the iPod. They made this extremely simple for people to use and that's why it is the best player on the market... hands down. People don't want to bother having to figure out the 50 different features and controls that all these other players have. Keep it simple. I can see your argument for going for "cheaper" (both in price and IMO in quality/design/etc) MP3 players, but the time it takes to figure it out is more valuable to me (and to most people I would say). I rather pay a little more and not waste my time syncing and messing with the controls.
I had a 1st generation Mac-only iPod and I gave it away as a gift to get the 2nd generation iPod...
I bought a 2nd generation iPod and I still use it to this day... everyday. True, I don't have the 8 hour battery life it used to have, but I still get a good 4 to 5 hours on it about 3 to 4 years later.
People love their iPods and it's not because they are trying to be cool or fit in... it's because people are fanatic about music and the iPod allows for the easiest way to access any song in their collection in the palm of their hand.
Peace 8)

I have the 60 gb photo ipod and I LOVE it....and I don't need such a video player which battery life is only 2 hours when you watch movies...I want to listen to music all day long and not only 2 hours, becaus I had watched any movie on it before

Sounds like you 2 never tried anything else than iPod in the first place.. talking like other mp3-players are difficult to set up and hard to use.. syncing controls ??.. wtf ???
And since when did having many features become a bad thing ?? Let me get this straight: You WANT to PAY MORE to have lesser features... ?
Imo, people buying 20GB iPod's for $30-40 more than my 40GB Creative, with half the battery capacity, lesser features and co-signing to forever use the crappy iTunes blogware, just got owned by Apple and their marketing division.

HEY WAIT, why is it that the 2 biggest Apple-fans on here is called Rizo and Ozir, which is the same spelled backwards.. something fishy is going on.. :eh:
And you're both from South El Monte..... did I miss anything.. ??
-
^lol...i didnt catch that?
-
LOL...its called family homie
Rizo is our last name.... im 22 my older bro is 28 which is ozir....
i live in South El Monte....my bro lives in boston...
but we both big apple fans....its funny cause i was just thinking like damn im suprised no one has ever mentioned anything...lol
good shit man....
still ipod is the superior product out there ;)
oh and just for arguments sake i have tried other players including creatives...and iriver from friends and stuff and sorry just not going to buy me...the GUI is not too bad still not as easy as th scroll whell on the pod and also they all had some trouble with the organizing and setting up stuff....acctually when me and my bro went to new york for last new years one of his friends up there had an iriver sitting for a while cause he couldnt figure it out right away so he just kinda kept saying ah i will figure it out later.....kinda thing so he had us help him...lol ...and i know for damn sure it took more work way more than how it would work for an ipod
-
So your mp3 player can go for 20 hours.....i dont see the big deal.
I only use mine while driving in my car, which i wouldnt be driving 20 hours so i dont really need that much battery.
And even if for some odd reason i was driving 20 hours....i have a car charger.

lol damn, I woulda never guessed that in a million years.
But on the real, it's funny when people diss iPod's. I wouldn't get anything other than an iPod. It's not just the best mp3 player out on the market, but it's the industry standard. Apple doesn't jack ideas from other companies, the other companies are following in Apple's footsteps......kinda like rip-off cereals.

lmao at prolly the whole board including myself just realizing that u guys are brothers.

Let me get this straight: You WANT to PAY MORE to have lesser features... ?
To answer the question: NO. I would pay more for BETTER features (even if it's less features than the next guy).
And yes, Apple's branding and marketing of the iPod has been excellent... however that only takes you so far... the goods have to deliver.
-
here a review of the new ipods http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/first-look-special-apple-computer-ipod-5g-with-video/
for those who are going to buy one.
-
I purchased my current mp3 player (iRiver H340) around Feb this year and I did plenty of research and even tested some (bought and returned them). Back then the iPod was not the best mp3 player on the market that's really not even opinion, that's pretty much fact. Right now, I haven't been following what has come out and how they've upgraded so I can't say. The iPod is still a good product overall but mostly gets it's credit because it's the "in thing" or it's a "status symbol".
And who cares about linking to iTunes? I have mine set up in folders like in Windows Explorer, much, much more organized and efficient.
-
^ i have mine setup in folders too the same way.. what he's talking about though is that you can plug your iPod in and it syncs your whole library automatically.. you delete a song from the sync and it deletes it from your ipod etc.. no having to wipe it cause its cluttered etc
-
my new ipod mini is havin battery problems too which is total bullshit..i was a apple hater before buying an ipod mini...but then my friend convinced me to get one.....now im even MORE of a hater since my ipod mini dies after an hour
Fuck Apple
im stickin with my small ass sony mp3 player with 80 hours of battery life and im gonna buy a creative soon
-
battery only lasts for 2 hours if you continuously play video, 14 hours if you play mp3s (on the 30gb model) 20 hours on the 60 model
im getting one regardless.. just started re-encoding a bunch of shit so i can watch it on the ipod, just waiting on it arriving
What format are you re-encoding to? What program are u using?
-
re-encoding to MPEG-4 .. you can do it using QuickTime 7 .. im usin software called River Past Video Cleaner
-
