CNET Editors' review - Apple iPod Photo (30GB) Editors' choice
Hide

Excellent

8.0

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 8.0 out of 10
Reviewed by James Kim
Review date: 3/25/05
Release date: 2/23/05

The good: Intuitive photo viewing; displays album art; adds color to your iPod experience; mammoth 30GB or 60GB hard drive; lets you view photos and listen to music simultaneously; speedy performance; latest firmware update along with optional Camera Connector will allow direct digital-camera transfers of photos, which will be viewable on iPod; solid battery life.

The bad: Package doesn't include iPhoto 4.x, FireWire cable, A/V cable, or dock; slightly heavier and thicker than fourth-generation iPod.

The bottom line: The iPod Photo is a beautiful and versatile device with a new, affordable price. The 30GB version is a particularly good value at only $50 more than the audio-only 20GB version.
