hi,
I purchased a new iPod video 30 Gb few days back. After dumping 20 + episodes of Friends , 1000 + songs and 5 movies it still got 14 gb of space left. There is no need to mention the design. Regarding the scracting issue a good plastic skin will take care of it.
The few features i like the most till now are,
Artwork attached with everysong , enhances the song quality to a greater degree.
Photo slide show with your desired song is also a feature that one would enjoy.
All those who loves organising , this is a must buy.
The negatives are:--
Battery Life for audio is good but with video it hardly able to complete one whole indian picture ( 3 hours ) .
You cannot backup ipod using itunes. ( This could easily been added as a feature.)
Although some sites do provide the last feature.
On the whole ipod is a great music system to have . A bit higher on cost but its high style statement will take care the cost.
