Excellent
THE GOOD
Incredibly thin and intuitive design; beautiful LCD; supports photo and video playback; seamless integration with iTunes, which boasts the world's biggest music catalog and a new video store; smooth video; lots of extra features, such as a world clock, a stopwatch, and PIM applications; a galaxy of accessories designed for the iPod; great overall value.
THE BAD
No extras included, such as a dock, A/V cables, or a power adapter; poor battery life for video; slight delay when playing video; no guarantee that your non-iTunes Music Store video will play on an iPod, even after using converted third-party software.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Get the affordable, sleek, and sexy 5G Apple iPod for its audio virtues. Although video looks great, poor video battery life and a relatively small screen hamper its appeal to video heads.

I just bought a 5G iPod yesterday and while I'm not blown away, I'm pretty happy with it. Now in the pro and con section above I mentioned the design is both a pro and a con, let me explain way. The device is arguably the best looking MP3 player on ... read more »
