Pros: Lots of room to store music, movies, and photos
Cons: The screen is a bit bulky if that sort of thing bothers you
The Bottom Line: A good pick for an ipod, cheaper than the 160 gig and more convenient.
Review: One of my passions in life is music, so after having my 30 gig Ipod for a few years I realized I was going to have to get an Ipod with more space on it. Luckily one of my friends was selling his 80 gig and I bought it from him, and so far it has been... Read Full Review by musicc, May 13, 2008
~~ THE APPLE DOESN'T FALL FAR FROM THE TREE WITH IPOD VIDEO ~~
Author's Rating:
Pros: Everyone in the year 2007 should own one

The Bottom Line: From every song in the book to every movie in your collection you can have it all!
Review: Are your kids bored already from being out of school? Are you stepping out and getting your running shoes on?

iPOD Great For People With Large Music Collections
Author's Rating:
Pros: Big, bright, and beautiful. Easy to use. Excellent sound/video quality. Biggest MP3 player out!
Cons: Lack of video, and audio codec support. iTunes is required and buggy.
The Bottom Line: Buy this if quality is absolute and price is not a factor. iPod is the"BOSE"or"Boston Acoustic"of MP3 players. You won't be disappointed either way.
Review: Realistically -you probably hear many reviews saying this was the holy grail of MP3 players, or it's the worst MP3 player ever.... I love mine - but hate it too... Ultimately I own one and am more than happy... Here's why.... The iPOD 80GB is a... Read Full Review by defalkner, Jun 23, 2007
Author's Rating:
Pros: Huge amount of storage, visually pleasing, very easy to use.
Cons: Scratch and fingerprint prone, may be a little big for some.
The Bottom Line: If you have a huge music collection or if you just want bragging rights, this is definitely the MP3 player for you.
Review: Apple has been the clear leader in everything MP3 related for a while now. In fact, Apple has pretty much been the MP3 leader since the inception of the MP3 player. So it’s no surprise that they should release the sexiest MP3 player currently in... Read Full Review by jjayooee, May 15, 2007

Cons: No AC Adapter included, should come with cover to stop fingerprints and scratches.
The Bottom Line: null
Review: After Receiving an 80 GB Video Ipod as a gift, I wasted no time on starting to get music,pictures and movies on the device. The first thing this should have come with is a cover as this picks up fingerprints like a magnet. As I opened the box I was also... Read Full Review by samf2000, Apr 28, 2007
Love the capacity and interface, but not the sound quality
Author's Rating:
Pros: Interface, styling, capacity
Cons: Sound quality, Battery life, limitations of iTunes,
The Bottom Line: Not a mistake to buy it, but it's not a world beater either.
Review: My first mp3 player, an Iriver 20 gig model, still works great, but I was envious of friends with their sleek iPods. The interface, the multiple ways to search for a track (by artist, by album title, etc) the color screen, all of which were missing on... Read Full Review by pawilsnj, Mar 19, 2007
Too Much of a Good Thing is Wonderful

Pros: user-friendly, fast charging time, plenty of accessories available and great sound
Cons: a bit costly and feels fragile
The Bottom Line: If you are a serious music lover and planning to go digital, the 80 gig iPod is the perfect unit for you
Review: I recently discovered an old 401K I had was still kicking around. After taxes it added up to just under $400. Well, I happen to work in a department store in the entertainment department and sometimes find myself helping out in electronics. One of our... Read Full Review by dolittle, Mar 10, 2007

Pros: Large Storage, Plays videos. OK battery time.
Cons: Storage is a HDD, Low Screen Quality. Quite thick and chunky. Fingerprints are very visible.
The Bottom Line: null
Review: I'm not really a fan of the large iPods mainly because they run off a HDD which increases the risk of them breaking, we all can't really jump around with one of these bricks as they do in the commercials as the tend to skip playback etc. So I tend to...

My favorite toy, and it's fun to accessorize.
Author's Rating:
Pros: Easy to use, Accessories abound, Makes music&videos portable, Holds the library
Cons: Easy to scratch, Can't sync the computer to the i-pod, It's a hard drive
The Bottom Line: Buy: i-pod, apple care (covers battery replacement) and protector case. Then: Enjoy...
Review: My experience with the 5th generation i-pod has been well beyond what I expected. I figured that I'd be listening to music through ear buds, some device through the car fm radio or tape deck, and through my computer (which would not have been bad since...

The Bottom Line: If you're serious about storing lots of music, and you want to watch video, this is the best unit on the market.
Review: For the time being, this is the mack daddy of mp3/mp4 digital media players. I bought mine six months ago and I've yet to use more than a fraction of its storage space, even with videos and a slew of songs from every artist I could think of. When I...

Author's Rating:
Pros: Great sound, simple and intuitive user interface
Cons: Lack of FM radio and recording features, more expensive than the other models
The Bottom Line: Best product for audiophiles who want to store their entire music library into one portable mp3 player.
Review: Bought this for about $350 from an online store. Came in a small box. Why did I even bought this player? I had a large collection of songs and music and the other mp3 players didn't have enough space to store them all. I didn't want to shuffle music... Read Full Review by suro3taker, Dec 13, 2006
