The new iPod Video come with GAPLESS playback which I liked, more brighter screen probably to counter Creative Zen Vision M.  flex.gif

-60% brighter screens
-Gapless playback
-New games available (Bejeweled, Cubis 2, Mahjong, Mini golf, pac man, tetris, texas holdem, vortex, and zuma). Games will cost $4.99 from iTunes

kudos for this long awaiting improvement, althought still no users EQ  doh.gif

well i prefer the previous nano design..with the metal back casing..
yes it scratches easily but the current generation of nano is so 'mini'....

yeah.. i never liked the iPod mini look.
metal backs are so stylish.. easily scratched, but stylish nonetheless.
the 80GB iPod is a great upgrade, since movies would definitely require more space. The users who are planning to buy an iPod get a bonus, but like zaakath said, it doesnt warrant us iPod owners to upgrade just yet.

perhaps 6G would have more things to offer.
as for now, let me just enjoy Prison Break and House on my 30GB...

hydorgen,
am planning to get a 30GB iPod and stuffing it with 'house' or 'CSI' definitely appeals to me. the only thing is, where do i get these videos? and then there's battery life issue. how many episodes of house could you enjoy before the battery dies on you? lastly, the screen, isn't it too small?

if it's inappropriate to discuss in this thread, please PM me. arigato nee...  smile.gif

1. firstly, you hav to get the videos by yourself. most people get theirs from t*****ts. u can also purchase them legally off iTunes. As for House and CSI, i guess the best thing u can do is RiP them off DVDs. Season 1 and 2 is now available at your local DVD seller. (*ahem*)
2. use a DVD Ripper and rip it into your computer. (AVI, MPEG, WMV?)
3. Convert the Video to mp4 format. (Use a iPod Video Converter such as Videora, WinAVI, etc.)
4. drag and drop it into your iTunes + iPod just like your songs.

I usually manage to watch at least two episodes of any show before the batt dies on me. it's quite enough cos staring at the 2.5inch screen for more than that and your head will start to ache.

The screen is too small, but the iPod's other advantages don't make me regret buying an iPod.
however, u might want to purchase the 80GB version if you can afford too, though. It makes a lot of difference when you're storing videos, movies, thousands of songs, and using it as an external hard disk. (like me)

welcome to the iPod family, and lastly,
it's hydrogen. not hydorgen.

laugh.gif typo la bro. apologies.

u can use it as an external HDD? now that's new.. so i can transfer my files of ANY format (say, autoCAD dwg files) from one PC to another?

i thought Apple makes the iPod to accept songs ONLY from iTunes?

i'm confused. blink.gif

iPod can only accept and play songs from iTunes (unless you're using Rockbox), but it can also act as an external harddisk! im surprised u didnt know that..
go to My Computer and it detects your iPod as a storage device.
take note: you have to enable to use it as an external storage device. this is done in iTunes > edit > Preferences > iPod > Music.
Check the box which says "enable disk use", and pronto

an 80GB hard disk. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
(and yes, ANY FILE ANY FORMAT AND F***IN PROGRAMS if you want to.)

shit.. did u guys see the new Microsoft Zune? it looks pretty cool...
i hope iPod's dominance stil survives.
this new Microsoft mp3 player even has a bigger screen than iPods, and has Wi-Fi...
iPod better hav some good ShiT in store for us in the future.. or the market might be taken over by Bill Gates.

the truth is that almost every gadget is cheaper in Singapore, even after currency conversion. This includes the latest gadgets such as all iPods, and even handphones and PDAs.
You can get the best prices on your iPods at Sim Lim Square lor. (Singapore's version of PLaza Low Yat)
