Apple 30 GB iPod with Video Playback Black 5th Generation

Woot : Apple iPod Nano 8GB, 5th Generation

Now a New Nano

Who Knew?

Look carefully: This is not your grandfather’s iPod Nano. Unless he bought it for you as a conditional gift, with the stipulation that you maintain a B average or better this year, which you failed to do. In that case, under legal rules of property, he’d have a reasonably strong claim on it. But first of all, it serves you right when you consider all the time you spent on Chatroulette instead of studying—and second of all, we’re way off the subject here: We meant to be talking about how this fifth-generation iPod Nano has an onboard video camera and FM tuner. Unlike every iPod Nano we’ve ever sold here.

Apple iPod classic 160 GB Black (7th Generation) NEWEST MODEL ...

by admin

NOTICE: This review is for the NEW 2009 160GB iPod Classic, NOT the 2007 160GB iPod Classic!

The new 160GB iPod Classic is easily Apple Inc.’s best iPod to date, and out of all of the iPods that I own, this is my favorite.

First, the capacity of this iPod is simply unbeatable. I’ve yet to see another portable media player that can match the iPod Classic in capacity. I have a huge music library, and it’s nice to be able to carry every song that I own on my person at all times. What’s more, thanks to the iPod Classic’s capacity, I also have room to carry a few videos with me, and some of my photos. If you don’t like having to pick which songs to load onto your portable media player, the iPod Classic is the way to go.

The second thing that I love about this iPod can be summed up in two words: it works. The 160GB iPod Classic that was introduced in 2007 was extremely buggy, had a non-responsive Clickwheel on many units, crashed frequently, and required a hit-and-miss firmware update to stop the hard drive from spinning even when the device was “off,” which often lead to dead batteries. All of these problems left the 2007 160GB iPod Classic warming shelves and earning it the infamous “honor” of being the “worst selling iPod ever,” according to Apple. I’m pleased to say that the new 160GB iPod Classic released earlier this month has virtually none of these problems. There’s no “spinning hard drive bug,” the Clickwheel is incredibly responsive, and the device isn’t crash-prone. While it’s true that many of these issues were fixed with last year’s iPod Classic, there hasn’t been a truly functional 160GB model until now. To put it bluntly, this is the iPod that Apple should’ve released in 2007.

The apple store said it was never refurbished and said it was nothing more than an over sized paper weight. Amazon returned it no problem. Be careful, save yourself the hassle!
