Before the imminent release of the iPhone, we take a good look at Apples newest generation of iPod, with 80GB of storage for movies and music.
Best-in-class transfer and management software. Classic design. Great sound. Videos look sharp even on the small screen.
Lacks some features without additional hardware. Interface is looking dated. No WMA support without re-encoding song file.
The iPod is the best digital audio player on the market, and there is still room for improvement. While other players have tried to add features and accessories to make up for their shortcomings, the iPod gets it right with a slick hardware design, e...

Display is too small for watching movies. Clickwheel can be touchy.

Audio battery life could be longer. FM tuner and recording capabilities require optional accessories. Video-format support could be broader.
The latest version of the iPod has a few enhancements, including longer video battery life, support for some cool games, a brighter screen, a search feature, and larger capacity (up to 80GB). And the price drop is nice too.
