MP3 Player Review

The iPod 5th generation, more commonly known as the iPod Video is a massive update to the iPod range of MP3 players from Apple. This version of the famous iPod range, as the name suggests, can play videos but that is not all it can do.

The new iPod can also play games like bejeweled and other simple fun games that can pass time as you ride the train to school or work or what ever else. This new feature also has a downfall; the loading time for some videos can be fairly long to endure and the small screen of the iPod is not the best one to watch a movie on if you want to get all the minor details.

Because of the new video feature on the new iPod Video, the battery life has been shortened by a lot and this is something that you must be aware of if you wish to purchase one, because you do not want to be watching a good movie and have it cuts out as the end is showing. The standard iPod Video also does not come with any dock, AV cables and some of the other small external devices that come standard with other iPods. On a final con of this device, there is a chance that movies downloaded from other file sharing websites (that is not iTunes) and then converted using third party software to convert it into a playable file on the iPod, there is a chance the file may not work.

In conclusion, if you are looking to buy a MPG player that can also play videos it is best to shop around for one with a longer battery life, a larger screen and better bass quality. Out of ten, I give the iPod Video a seven.

From the humble beginnings of the iPod all those years ago, Apple has created the iPod Nano, a smaller version of the regular iPod. The nano boasts alot of memory for such a small device, from 2 gigabytes (around 880 songs) or up to 8 gigabytes (around three thousand songs).

The size of the iPod Nano is quite similar as the Dell DJ Ditty, except for the fact that the iPod is much wider making the screen a lot easier to view and read, and that is a good thing. The casing of the iPod Nano is made of anodized aluminum making it very hard to destroy, but not impossible.

There is just one problem with the casing of the nano, and that is that it can scratch very easily. The nano has yet another feature you can pick when you buy it and that is that you can also pick one of five colors for the nano to be, so your iPod can reflex who your personality is. The battery life of the Nano is quite large for a small device, up to 24 hours of play time so you do not have to charge it every day. But the iPod Nano doesn’t only pay music, you can also show off slide shows, art and pictures that you have stored on it, making the iPod not only a MP3 player but a portable media center to keep you entertained for hours upon hours.

The iPod nano, in my opinion, is one of the best MP3 players on the market as of his moment because of its small design and it still is able to boast so much memory and a large LCD screen so you can see what song you are listening to and you can view pictures on them. Out of ten, I give the iPod nano nine.
