Apple iPod Video Fifth Gen. White (30 GB, MA002LL/A) Digital Media Player
Product Description

Now that you can buy movies from the iTunes Store and sync them to your iPod, the whole world is your theater. With a 30GB or 80GB iPod in hand, those movies fit comfortably next to TV shows, new iPod games, podcasts, audiobooks, photo albums, and, of course, an entire library of music - up to 20,000 songs, in fact.How much can your pocket hold? That's up to you and your iPod. It holds up to 20,000 songs, up to 25,000 photos, and up to 100 hours of video - or any combination of each.

So you can browse movies on the iTunes Store, download the ones you want (Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, perhaps?), and then sync it to your iPod. Same goes for TV episodes, new iPod games, 99? songs, best-selling audiobooks, and an entire universe of free podcasts. Go ahead.

Fill 'er up.With all that music at your fingertips, you may never want to stop listening. Lucky thing your iPod plays audio for up to 20 hours. Or, if you'd rather watch, you can feast your eyes on movies and TV shows for up to six-and-a-half hours.It might be a miracle.

Otherwise, it's hard to explain exactly how 30GB of storage can fit into an iPod that's over 30% thinner than the previous fourth generation. Or how an 80GB iPod can be the same size as the 60GB model before it. However it happened, it means you can carry your entire music collection - plus a nice selection of video - absolutely everywhere you go.

And a 60% brighter, more vibrant display gives your album art, photos, and video extra oomph.Finding what you want to hear among 20,000 songs could be quite a chore - unless you have an iPod. A new interface lets you search your iPod using the patented Click Wheel. And if you're a fan of live albums, classical works, or anything that sounds best when it's continuous, iPod supports gapless playback that seamlessly transitions from one song to another..

Amazon.com Product Description

Now that you can buy movies from the iTunes Store and sync them to your iPod, the whole world is your theater. With the Apple 30 GB iPod with Video Playback in hand, those movies fit comfortably next to TV shows, new iPod games, podcasts, audiobooks, photo albums, and, of course, an entire library of music--up to 7500 songs. How much can your pocket hold? That's up to you and your iPod, but no matter how you organize it, the iPod holds loads of songs and plenty of hours of video.

Your iPod library can now contain new iPod games, feature films, and up to 7,500 songs. The same great iPod interface and ease of use that goes great in any hand. With all your music at your fingertips, you may never want to stop listening.

Lucky thing your iPod plays audio for hours and hours, or if you'd rather watch, you can feast your eyes on movies and TV shows for several hours without draining your battery. And you can count on the iPod to help you pack light. It is almost hard to explain exactly how 30 GB of storage can fit into an iPod that's over 30-percent thinner than the previous fourth generation.

However it happened, it means you can carry more music and video absolutely anywhere you go. And with a 60-percent brighter screen, the vibrant display gives your album art, photos, and video extra oomph. As always, iPod makes finding what you want to hear a breeze.

Plus, a new interface lets you search your iPod using the patented Click Wheel. And if you're a fan of live albums, classical works, or anything that sounds best when it is played continuously, iPod supports gapless playback that seamlessly transitions from one song to another. Music, Movies and TV Shows Finding and playing music on your iPod is simple.

Use the Click Wheel to adjust volume, navigate songs, or browse the Music menu by artists, composer, album, song, genre, or playlist. Want to mix things up? Simply click Shuffle Songs. iPod makes your music look as good as it sounds, thanks to its big, bright color display.

Album art appears alongside your songs in the Now Playing screen, so you can see your music as you play it. After all, iPod loves music as much as you do. Now you can watch a movie while waiting in line for tickets to one.

Download movies from the iTunes Store, then sync them to your iPod to watch anywhere, anytime. The iPod's gorgeous display--now 60-percent brighter--makes your movies pop. And thanks to improved video playback time, iPod keeps you entertained for several hours--even longer if you reduce brightness using the new brightness control.

As for television programs, there's always something good on iPod. Browse thousands of episodes of your favorite TV shows on the iTunes Store, buy them for just a couple dollars each, then sync them to your iPod. Watch last night's episodes this morning, or buy a whole TV series and settle in for a pocket-size marathon.

All your TV episodes display in order, so you can navigate them easily, and every episode you buy from iTunes is optimized to look great on the iPod's crystal-clear, 320 x 240-pixel display. Podcasts, Audiobooks, Games, and Photos The iTunes Store features thousands of free podcasts--radio-type shows you subscribe to--including indie favorites and offerings from big names such as, ABC News, Comedy Central, ESPN, PBS, NPR, and many more. Browse and subscribe to podcasts, then sync them to your iPod and listen anytime.

Even video podcasts sync to go, and all your podcasts appear in their own menu on your iPod, so they're easy to navigate. The iPod measures up nicely, and is over 30% thinner than the previous fourth generation. The iTunes Store is the bridge between your iPod and all the content your heart desires.

The digital shelves of the iTunes Store are stocked with thousands of audiobooks, including such exclusives as the entire Harry Potter series. Download what you want, sync to your iPod and catch up on your reading the audio way. Just like podcasts, you can browse audiobooks in their own menu on your iPod.

And your iPod automatically recognizes where you left off reading and bookmarks your place, so it is easy to dive back into the story. You can even change the reading speed to suit you--this is a perfect feature for learning a new language. Now that the iTunes Store features iPod games, you can keep hours of fun at your fingertips.

Download brand-new and classic games, including Bejeweled, Texas Hold 'Em, Vortex, Mahjong, Mini Golf, Pac-Man, Tetris, and Zuma, for just a few dollars each, then sync them to your iPod and play along with your favorite tunes. All iPod games from the iTunes Store are designed specifically for the fifth-generation iPod, and all of them look great on the 2.5-inch color display. If you can fill your iPod with photos, then you've got a ton of images at your disposal.

iPod holds tens of thousands of photos that you can sync from your Mac or Windows PC via iTunes. Use the Click Wheel to scroll through photo thumbnails the same way you scroll through song titles. To see a photo full-screen, just click the center button.

You can even view photo slideshows--complete with music--on your iPod or on a TV via the optional iPod Video/Photo AV Cable. Select Slideshow Settings, choose the transition effect and the music, and then start the show. Search, Settings, and Extras With thousands of songs, audiobooks, and more on your iPod, you need an easy way to search and enjoy your collection.

A brand-new, built-in search function lets you use the Click Wheel to type out the name of the song, artist, album, audiobook, or podcast you're looking for, and your iPod returns results instantly as you select letters--finding what you want couldn't be easier. The fifth-generation iPod lets you customize menus, check capacity, change your language, change how your iPod sounds, and more, all from the easy-to-use Setting menu. Click About to see how many songs are on your iPod and how much room you have left.

Click Main Menu to select what items appear in your Main Menu, tweak the built-in equalizer, or set a maximum volume limit--everything you need to personalize your iPod, from backlight timer to clicker sound effects, appear in Settings. And, lastly, your iPod is loaded with extras. Everything from calendars, contacts, and the World Clock appear in the Extras menu, along with a few more handy items.

Take the Screen Lock, for example. Spin the Click Wheel to choose a four-digit combination and protect your iPod from prying eyes. If you forget your combo, you can reset it at your next sync.

Or use the built-in stopwatch to log your best times at the gym. And when it's finally time to play, the Extras menu lists all your games, including the ones you purchase from the iTunes Store. What's in the Box Apple 30 GB iPod with Video Playback, earphones, USB 2.0 cable, dock adapter, case, and quick start guide..

Amazon Review 5.5G ipod

The product is in good condition. fast shipping. but battery doesnt last as long as would have liked, but its understandable since it's used.

Amazon Review Great, Great Product

Author's Rating:   5

I bought mine over a year ago and the battery dosen't last as long as when I first got it. but it still works just fine. I got it because I liked the idea of taking your photos, videos, and entire music library around with you everywhere.
It looked pretty nice right out of the box and only took 5 minutes to fully charge the first time. I was told that it would take 5 hours to upload all my stuff onto it through USB and if I wanted to upload quickly my computer would need "Fire Wire". That was a complete lie. I was able to upload 365 songs and 50 something photos, as well as 6 or 7 videos in less than 10 minutes using good old USB. I still have no uploading problems even now with 1100 songs. Don't bother with Fire Wire.

I hate how it didn't come with a wall adapter. Instead of plugging it through the wall to charge you need to plug it into your computer. That is probably the stupidest way of charging something; it can damage the hard drive, it also wastes a ton of electricity (having your computer on), and you can't bring it on a long trip and expect to charge it unless you have a laptop computer. I realised this before hand and had to spend $10 on a proper adapter that should have come with the iPod in the first place.

Video quality is great. Almost HI Definition(no lies). I don't bother watching movies on it because one movie basically drains the battery. It's good for music videos, TV shows and showing people your home videos though.

The headphones they give you are prety bad. You have to crank the volume more than halfway to hear the bass and other lower sounds. Not only does this damage your ears, but it also annoys the people standing around you when they can hear your music. Buy some good Sony/Bose noise reduction headphones and you will hear the difference in sound quality and you won't have to turn the volume up to high. Trust me your ears will thank you.

Aside form that, it is great for trips. I bought it just before I took a trip to Europe. It gave me stuff to do at night in the hotel rooms.
If you connect it to some speakers you got instant party music wherever you go.

Most people who don't have one, want one after seeing mine. It also has games that you can buy off of iTunes. It gives you three free ones that come on the iPod: Brick game, Solitair, Parachute. If you only occasinally play games, these are all you would ever need.

My battery life is starting to get less and less now. It started out as 5 hours of video watching, and 20 hours of music and now it's more like 3 hours of video and a little less than 20 hours of music. However, most people find that their battery dosen't even last this long.

A few tips on how to make your battery last longer:

Don't skip to the next songs using the left and right buttons on the click wheel. Always select songs directly from the menu, it may take longer but it will help your battery in the long run.

When watching videos or listening to music, keep it on the hold swith at the top of the iPod.

If your Ipod freezes or simply won't turn on; hold down the menu button and middle button until it starts up again.

If changing a battery becomes a problem, I will post an update when that time comes but for now, I really like this thing and I think everybody would be pleased with this model.

I am very happy with my Ipod purchase. I have had it now just less than a month. It has performed flawlessly. Once I figured out how to operate it it, I have been very pleased. The music playback is superb! I have used it on a road trip and around the house, and I would highly reccomend it to anyone. I have about 12 hours of music on it, and I plan on putting a couple of videos on it as well.
