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.

    3.5/5
    There are some obvious nice things to the iPod. It is sleek. It has massive storage and it is the "gotta have" item of this decade so far. Despite these positives, iPod has lots of negatives. Mostly, Apple has really dropped the ball on usabilit...  read more »
