Buy Low Price From Here Now
Now that you can buy movies from the iTunes Store and sync them to your iPod, the whole world is your theater. With a 30GB or 80GB iPod in hand, those movies fit comfortably next to TV shows, new iPod games, podcasts, audiobooks, photo albums, and, of course, an entire library of music - up to 20,000 songs, in fact.How much can your pocket hold? That's up to you and your iPod. It holds up to 20,000 songs, up to 25,000 photos, and up to 100 hours of video - or any combination of each. So you can browse movies on the iTunes Store, download the ones you want (Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, perhaps?), and then sync it to your iPod. Same goes for TV episodes, new iPod games, 99 songs, best-selling audiobooks, and an entire universe of free podcasts. Go ahead. Fill 'er up.With all that music at your fingertips, you may never want to stop listening. Lucky thing your iPod plays audio for up to 14 hours. Or, if you'd rather watch, you can feast your eyes on movies and TV shows for up to three-and-a-half hours.It might be a miracle. Otherwise, it's hard to explain exactly how 30GB of storage can fit into an iPod that's over 30% thinner than the previous fourth generation. Or how an 80GB iPod can be the same size as the 60GB model before it. However it happened, it means you can carry your entire music collection - plus a nice selection of video - absolutely everywhere you go. And a 60% brighter, more vibrant display gives your album art, photos, and video extra oomph.Finding what you want to hear among 20,000 songs could be quite a chore - unless you have an iPod. A new interface lets you search your iPod using the patented Click Wheel. And if you're a fan of live albums, classical works, or anything that sounds best when it's continuous, iPod supports gapless playback that seamlessly transitions from one song to another.

 "Sometimes You Just Want More" 2010-01-23
By Ronald Hammond (Key West, FL USA)
Okay, so you're thinking of buying an iPod. You've seen the iPod Touch and you've been blown away. Who wouldn't be? It's a great little gizmo. You can do a lot with it, surf the web, play Tetris, learn Japanese, do e-mail, play music and so much more, but if you're like me and have more music than you can shake a stick and you want to carry it with you wherever you go, then the iPod Touch just might not cut the mustard, storage wise.



If it's just music or videos you want an iPod for. Or if you have an iPhone and you need a second device to carry around your music, then I'd heartedly recommend a 5th Gen iPod. Read on and see why.



I was cruising Amazon, checking out small hard drives, as I wanted to carry all my music around with me. I somehow wound up the page for the Apricorn Bio Hard Drive, a beautiful little beauty, to be sure, but I don't really need to protect my music from prying eyes, or ears for that matter. However, I clicked on over to their website and I found something much better than an external drive. I found their upgrade kit for the 5th Generation iPods and I knew it was exactly what I was looking for.



If you've got either the 5th Generation 30GB, the 60GB or the 80GB you are in luck, because not only do you have one great machine, but you can make it outstanding. Apple's current iPod Classic carries 160GB of storage, with the upgrade from Apricorn you can turn your 5th Gen 30GB iPod into a 120GB beauty and Apricorn throws in a new 580mAH battery with the hard drive along with all the direction and the tools you'll need to do the job yourself. Yeah, you don't have to send your machine to Apple to replace that battery. It's not that hard.



But what if you've got a 5th Gen 60 or 80GB iPod. Well for over half a C note less than what a new iPod Classic costs, you can upgrade the iPod you have with 240GB of storage, yeah, 240 gigs, that's a lot of music. And you get a new battery with this upgrade, too. So, how hard is the upgrade to do. It took me twenty minutes, it's easier than you'd think. Once finished, hook the iPod up to you're computer and let iTunes do it's magic and you're good to go.



The 5th Gen iPod is a solid music player even without upgrading. It's easy enough to sink it with iTunes and change the music on it. I wouldn't hesitate recommending it to anyone, but if you want more, well you can have it.

 "Good iPod" 2009-12-04
By Claudia Hirsemann (Lake Worth, FL)
This is a good product but you get what you pay for. I bought two. One is still doing fine after about two years and the other the headphone jack lost one of its channels. I had to trade mine to my son because of this. It is worth taking the chance to save the money if you can't afford to buy refurbished from Apple. With Apple however you get the same warranty as a new one and it looks great. It is also refurbished by Apple so you know it is done right.

 "Love the idea of iPods but this has had battery and HD failures" 2009-11-28
By Just a guy (Westchester, NY)
I love the idea of iPods and have owned a few. This one has only given me problems. The battery does not hold a charge well and the hard drive has failed. Apple warranty has expired so I am left to ebay parts repair. I think the quality of this model is lacking and would not recommend buying it. That said, iPods in general are great and there are many other alternatives now that work very well. My 4GB Mini is still going strong.

 "Can be iffy buying used..." 2009-11-05
By Khyber Elessidil (Pittsburgh PA)
Upon receiving the iPod I purchased, I found the battery had neared the end of its life. I was only getting an hour or two after a full charge. HOWEVER, upon contacting the seller, I quickly had a brand new battery on its way, and after a 5 minute repair, I basically have a brand-new iPod, minus a few cosmetic scratches caused by dropping the flimsy case I had bought for it. (DO NOT buy Eforcity's metal cases, your iPod WILL fly out of it at the first sign of falling.
