Guest DustyDeviada Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 The battery lasts around 3 hours in video mode, so pretty handy for watching a film on the train.Oh, and they come in 30GB and 60GB, so I would say definitely worth the extra cash for the increased capacity alone, unless you really need the teeny version and you aren't bothered about sound quality.

Guest DustyDeviada Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 annoying on that 8 hour flight/drive/train journey though...But better of course than a nano which gives you, um, no video playback at all.I've seen a mate's video iPod and the quality of video playback is ace, titchy screen of course but handy that you can stick it in your pocket, unlike a portable DVD player.At the end of the day, most people were happy enough with the standard iPod, they've now introduced a cool new feature but kept the price the same. Can't see what the problem is, unless you're someone who already bought a non-video iPod and are now pissed off because you want a video one.

Guest onlynik Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 I'd ratehr have an archos for watching video's better than an ipod any day if the week. Doesn't get scratched either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron_Robertson Posted December 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 I hsd an Archos once within 6months the screen faded then shot... and the battery heard charge for 30mins and archos were not helpful at all about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
