The good: Incredibly thin and intuitive design; beautiful LCD; supports photo and video playback; seamless integration with iTunes, which boasts the world's biggest music catalog and a new video store; smooth video; lots of extra features, such as a world clock, a stopwatch, and PIM applications; a galaxy of accessories designed for the iPod; great overall value.

The bad: No extras included, such as a dock, A/V cables, or a power adapter; poor battery life for video; slight delay when playing video; no guarantee that your non-iTunes Music Store video will play on an iPod, even after using converted third-party software.

The bottom line: Get the affordable, sleek, and sexy 5G Apple iPod for its audio virtues. Although video looks great, poor video battery life and a relatively small screen hamper its appeal to video heads.

Description: The Apple iPod is a 60 GB, large capacity player. Compared to other large capacity MP3 players on the market, it is relatively expensive at around $200.

Pros: Comes with 60 GB storage, which is somewhat more spacious than some similarly priced MP3 players. By way of comparison, the average cost of a product with this roomy a storage is $330.

Cons: Has a 5.5 oz weight, which is somewhat heavier than some similarly priced MP3 players. For example, the Apple iPod Nano , a 16 GB MP3 player at around $200, has a 1.3 oz weight.

Suitability: Suited for those with a large library of music. Comes with equalizer presets to easily tailor your listening experience. According to the manufacturer this player will last approximately 20 hour(s) between charges; your run-time will vary based on use and power management configuration. Comes with a 1 year warranty, which is standard in the industry.

Value: In general, this MP3 player's features are as expected for this price.

Suggestions: Audiophiles may wish to buy aftermarket headphones for better sound reproduction.
