I have the 60 gig Video iPod, nice but moving to the 80 isn’t really a big bump. Now watching video on the road and using my iPod as a DVR is great, and there is ways of burning your movies so you can take them on the go. Try this item, comes in handy on planes and looks good too boot!

Apple needs to come out with a similar device like the PSP, but lighter a tad bigger screen and better resolution for the screen and output and it will win back anyone who is fadding. Plus include a FM tuner and have a flash drive/hardrive combo…

“iPod, … which supported wma, wmv, and ogg vorbis…
Sorry, but that is NEVER going to happen. At least not as long as Apple remains an independent competitor to Microsoft.

Podlover, just a quick one, yes you can watch the video on your PC/Mac, but I can already do that I don’t need an iPod? 2-Plug your 320×240 res iPod into a TV? no thanks we’ve only just got rid of 352 line VHS, I don’t want that sort of quality back, just download/convert the show to xvid/divx and watch it on an XBox or a hardware divx encoder; not only are they cheaper than an iPod but better quality.

I will however give the iPod gen 5 it’s due, the battery life is much improved, and being able to have media presentations on your iPod and play them back will be usefully.

So like Dan, I love the iPod (have 2) and Apple product’s in general,I just don’t think the gen 5 deserved all the who ha it got.

Are you kidding me? Dissapointed? Has anyone else even come close to what Apple has done yet? Look at the potential for the these new features! This is something that is essential for me and many other people who work in the multimedia field. Let’s not forget that you can plug your iPodV into your television set if you would like a larger screen or you can just view them on your computer. How can you not like this feature? Is it perfected yet? No it could have wireless integration but, come on it opens up alot of doors.

P.S. I thought it funny that negative comments on Apple were from a direct link from Microsoft MSN.

gMax, you’re clearly not English, so before launching into some grammatical offensive, please allow for the fact that the inhabitants of America use our language differently from its originators.

It may surprise you to learn that we use group nouns as plurals in England. We say “the government _are_”, rather than “the government _is_”, and band names that are singular (e.g. The Fall) will be referred to in the plural: The Fall are going on stage, rather than The Fall _is_ going on stage.

If you don’t want to listen to someone who knows how to use the English language as it is spoken in its native country, then I suggest filling your trousers with warm custard, shaving your head, and setting fire to your feet.

That is all.

P.S. Do please try and get the hang of using apostrophes. And capitalisation.
