    Good Points: It had a lot of memory.


    Bad Points: It started freezing and making a scrapey notice and when I synced it with the computer it didn't recognise it, all the songs and videos disappeared off it.


    General comments: Quite disappointed was a Christmas present and it was £180 and I was really upset when it started freezing it wouldn't stop. Piece of rubbish!

    The Apple iPod Video 30GB is my favourite gadget by far, have over 1000 songs and about 40 TV programmes and memory is only about half full. Internal battery is very quick to charge up keeps it for several hours use. Can connect to my hi-fi via a long headphone to phono lead available from Maplin for about a fiver - probably not ideal if you are really into top hi-fi sound but fantastic to have your entire album collection available as you chill on the sofa!! Would highly recommend.

    A very nice gismo sound quality 2 dimensional.This is not a HIFI sound peace of kit I throw away the ear phones and replaced them with ultimate Ears ear buds(165),now the I pod is starting to sing.The music has no great emotion of coarse due to the price,listen to Szymanowski symphony No 3 track 6 on a reasonable priced HIFI around 15000 and there will be tears.Having said that i bought one so it cannot be all bad.

    I like the Apple iPod Video 30GB's weight, it's not too heavy and it holds a lot of songs. It generally has a very good sound system.Overall,I love it.

    I like the design of my Apple Video ipod and I like the wide range of space for the music and videos that it has. The only problem I've had is turning it off because even when I do it keeps on turning on again. Trust me it is worth it if you buy it.

    After owning the iPod for just under a year, I have experienced it crashing, displaying the wrong artwork and the like. Mediocre battery life, under 'real' situation I could barely get 8 hours out of it. The design of the iPod is rather starting to look somewhat 'tacky' and outdated. The build quality too, is rather flimsy, especially the headphones, which the rubber around them has already started to come off. The sound leveller feature does not work either. I think Apple might be getting knock ...

    Slated by many, the iPod just remains the king of all MP3 players. It's design and sound quality really make me a happy chappy and once you get over the initial obsession of changing tracks and scrolling through your music list the battery life isn't all that bad. Videos kill your battery however! I can't imagine watching a full feature movie on an iPod anyway, but I seriously wonder whether the battery would last a full movie for a start!

    Overall, the iPod Video is a great purchase. Like the slim design and the ease of use, the only drawback being it's not very hard wearing but hey, nothing is perfect!

    I have saved up for this for about 4 months and boy, it was worth it! The battery isn't great and neither is the back, but apart from that, it is perfect. My dad was amazed when he saw all of the videos on it. Overall, this is the best purchase I have ever made!

    Ok, the ten thousandth review for the iPod.

    I caught the iPod bug way back and got myself an iPod mini, upgrading from that eventually to this, the iPod video 30GB in white. I unpack it and caress its smooth sexy body, plug it in to charge and get onto my computer eagerly updating to the latest version of iTunes so I can have my video's ready and waiting. It was superb, working all day, supplying me with music, movies and games without fail. It went well for about three months, working hard ...

    I bought the 30G Video iPod last August to take with me to France on a family holiday. And I can honestly say this is the best purchase I have made in a long time.

    I had owned a first generation iPod Shuffle prior to owning this Video iPod, so I was used to the iTunes software that came with it, and getting used to the 'click wheel' to operate the iPod was really easy. Just 'spin' it left or right to choose the item you want. It's that simple.

    Loading the iPod with the tunes was also fa ...

    I had never owned an MP3 player before. In the first few weeks I had the Apple iPod Video it was everything and more I could possibly have wanted from an MP3 player. However, after a month the screen started to freeze on a weekly basis. Also, the iPod would just turn itself off every other day, and then it would partially freeze. Today I returned it to the retailer and received a full refund. I still want an MP3 player, and I still want the iPod, as it was superb when it worked, but I will never ...

    The iPod video is a great investment. Small and thin, smaller than the previous versions of the iPod it boasts true portability with moderate cost. It's easy to use, and it's easy to upload. I'd recommend the iPod to my friends, if they all didnt have one already.

    Apple iPod 30GB (white)

    I know you're all sick of hearing this, but the iPod is amazing, undoubtedly one of the finest creations of the 21st century. The genius of the click wheel, the amazing sound quality, and now, the inclusion of video has transformed what should be a fairly good MP3 player into a worldwide phenomenon. Everyone either has one or wants one, even if they are too stubborn to admit it. Or at least, this is the myth. You see, most people believe that the iPod is perfect in eve ...

    The Apple iPod looks nice out of the box. Unfortunately it scratches easily. The battery has problems (3 iPod's in 3 years), and customer service at Apple is horrible!

    I have absolutely nothing good to say about this product.
