Great if you get it for a bargain

Strengths: Nice picture quality, great sound

Weakness: None, except if you pay too much

I got this because they are being cleared out due to incompatibility with the newer iPod models. Originally priced at 3 or 4 hundred dollars, this thing was a bargain for about $50. It plays video wonderfully, and the sound booms out of the speakers when playing music. I was going to sell my old iPod, but when/if I do upgrade, now I'll keep it and just watch video. Everything was well designed...

Everything was well designed and placed on this player, and I probably wouldn't change a thing. I just can't imagine spending as much on it as I did my iPod. I certainly recommend picking one up if you have the opportunity.

Video-55

Strengths: None

Weakness: Functions

I do not recommend this product. I have not been able to get the video screen to work since I purchased it. The instructions that came with the product don't help. It almost appears that I need an additional connection piece that is impossible to find.

A Great Video and Audio Player!

Strengths: Very good, sturdy unit. The sound is excellent (MUCH better than I expected)!

Weakness: Shiny, glossy inside face that too easily shows smudges and fingerprints. Slow reaction to button imput including turning on the unit. Seems to work a little better using the very small remote.

I have a black 5th generation video ipod that I use for movie entertainment on flights but have been limited to only 2-3 hours of use per battery charge. Combined with this player I not only have the additional 5 hours of video time but a bigger screen that can be shared with traveling companions. (I haven't tested yet that I can actually get the full additional 5 hours promised.) It also looks...

It also looks great with the black ipods. Almost like one unit.


I've also used it around the house as a portable ipod speaker and I think the sound is very good. In addition to music I listen to audio tapes and there's no noticeable hissing or distortion at a higher volume.


It has an extremely small remote control that stores in the base but I'm afraid it might pop out too easily and get lost.
