    Default Theyre calling it the best MP3 player ever.

    Well, Its got my vote. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/13/te...GUE-EMAIL.html

    15,000 songs, Alot more photos and now videos.
    I always knew the day would come when my ipod photo would be shadowed but I was hoping that wouldnt happen till 2006 :/ Its still pretty hardcore though.

    oh...

    Its skinnier too.

    No fast forward feature. No Divx or Xvid support. No thanks. I would actually consider getting an iPod nano if they had something bigger than 4GB and it didn't scratch so easily. Then again, my Zen Micro is perfect for what it does, play music.

    No fast forward? Are you talking about songs? You can fast forward any song by holding down the left/right button during play or you can double click the center and go to any point in the song you want. I'd imagine a similar process would be used for videos. And the Divx and xvid support is technical for me so I dont care too much. Anyway if I can have photos music and videos over just music I'll say yes anyday.

    Oh yipee, I can watch .mov files on the move, could life get anymore infuriating?
    There have been good, more compatible, multimedia players out for some time now. Archos has been churning out some reasonable ones for ages.

    What I find cool is that its all these features in one with so much space. The only bad thing is the battery.

    You'll have to guess from looking at the progress bar where to stop. The battery life for video playback is pretty pathetic.

    Wow that looks deadly. I'd be a bigger fan of Zen in general if there fans didnt advertise everything they ever make as an attack on the iPod. It comes off like apples trying to improve there products and Zens trying to keep up. People get so pissed off just because the ipods more popular.

    Meh. There still aren't any half-decent MP3 players on the market, as far as I'm concerned.

    I'm going to wait a few years before investing in one.

    I'm happy with my normal colourless 20 GB iPod, though having colour on it would be pretty nice. But I want an iPod for music, not for colour, so eh.

    I haven't tried out the new iPod, so I'm not giving it a thumbs-up or thumbs-down just yet. I must admit, though, that when I learned the details, I couldn't help shaking my head in amazement at the way Apple approached the conceptual problems of video in your pocket.
    I couldn't help but do the exact same thing. Apple moved in on the PVP scene, but they did it without making their player bigger, in fact they did the reverse. It's 45% slimmer!
