The good people behind Ars Technica have posted a 7 page review of the iPod video.
From Ars Technica:
Looking at the iPod from the vantage point of someone who’s on the lookout for their first and primary digital music player player, I’d say its a fantastic deal. A lot of people will never collect 30 GB of music on their PCs anytime soon, and the 5th generation model is light, thin, and does just about anything that anyone would want to do with their digital audio player.
However, from my perspective as an owner of a 4G 40GB iPod, I’m not so sure I’d move to a 30GB model just because of the video output capabilities and the few new applications. The case of the device is nice and attractive, to be sure, but I’ve never really had any issues with the thicker 40GB model I carry almost every day.
Based on everything I’ve experienced with this new iPod over the past day I’ve have to give the device a solid 8 of 10.
