Is the iPod Video Really that Good?
The iPod video is popular due to its huge memory and the video playing capacity of the longer life battery. However, there are still some drawbacks to the design but whether you regard them as important depends upon your own liking of the iPod range.
The screen is bigger than the previous models which is great, but the surface is still easy to scratch, therefore you will still need a case to ensure protection.
Although the video image is excellent and the screen clarity may be easily compared to your TV set, there are still some problems with freezing video images. However, the fact that interference from sunlight or other light sources has been eliminated is excellent.
Although the battery life is improved overall, people complain that it is short in video mode. However, this is true of any resource intensive device, just ask laptop owners. You just need to be aware and remember to recharge regularly.
Anyway, this complaint can be balanced by the fact that the video is played with no flaws and looks really detailed.
The best new features of the video iPod concern the sound quality. It is clearer and louder with a bass that is stronger, my particular favorite.
Another good feature is the easy control, the video feature is generally accepted as being superb, but minor criticisms concern the interruption of the sound when switching between tracks.
The definite
advantages of the ipod video may be gathered together, people point out that ipod video has a superb, thin and attractive enclosure with a great display. It also has the best sound, 15-20 hours of music, new clock and even the time in other parts of the world.
Conversely, the drawbacks or criticisms can be summarised as being the incompleteness of the video integration that suggests the experimental project aspect, absence of any new games, no changes in the interface, the smaller than expected screen as regards the video features edition and slow transfer of photos direct from the camera.
All this being said, you will find that the majority of people see the ipod video as the best music player around that has superior quality of sound and is just simply the best looking device money can buy.
After all if this is not the case then why has the Apple iPod range reached a state of almost complete domination in the portable music player market?
As a screen for the photo album, the clarity of the screen may win the competition with any TV set’s screen. As a movie player, the iPod video is below the expectations, but it may be considered a great step in the video technology.
