I don't know if portable video is particularly interesting to me, but if this thing's introduction bumps up the capacity/price ratio down the rest of the iPod line, I might finally…

I mocked these up some time ago mainly because I was curious to see if reading books was possible on a larger screen and I wanted to see what Front Row might look like on an iPod. …

thats cool sutff trevor.o I remember when the vid pod first came out, lots of people were really upset that it couldnt actually record anything. But in reality, its like the cell …

Damn I hope it's not a touch sensitive clickwheel that doesn't sound good. The main thing I am hoping for is increased Hard Disk space. 60GB is not adequate [insert whining from …

3rd gen ipod....best ipod design/layout imho.

Why do you say that? I have one of the 3G iPods and while it's certainly not a terrible design, the buttons are either too sensitive or not sensitive enough, and having them in a l…

If you have a 3G in a plastic case like the Contour Design Showcase, the raised plastic that surrounds the buttons makes it a little more difficult to accidentally activate them. T…

I loved the 3G. Everything here mentioned was what made it awesome (pure slick, no moving parts, red backlight, etc.) However, one thing that just made it wonderful was how the b…

I loved my 3g pod, I think having the buttons seperate from the wheel is what made it for me. Plus the red backlight was cool as hell.

When you create an amazing system of Smart Playlists like I have, the more music you have the better the whole system works. It's pretty damn cool, and I have an amazing (and legal…

The thing about the 3G is the controls are WAAAY too sensitive. It sucks having to be so careful with it, and I don't like my tracks suddenly interrupted the button gets brushed ag…

I have owned every iPod from the beginning (minus the photo ipod) I still have a 3rd generation and I think its one of the best. Apple truly nailed down the whole iPod concept wit…

I JUST got rid of my newly refurbished 40GB 3G iPod, and having the new 5th generation I will have to say that it feels of lesser quality than the 3rd generation iPod. Then again, …

Here are some photoshops of what it might look like.

What do people mean when they say the 5G feels like it is lower quality? I can't say that I agree with that at all. The 3G does feel nice in your hand because of its rounded corner…
