Apple iPod (fifth-generation update, 30GB, black)
price range: $177.95 - $399.99
- Reviewed by: James Kim
- Reviewed on: 09/19/2006
The good: The enhanced iPod has the same sleek design with improved video battery life and brighter screen; it brings gapless playback to the masses; up to 80GB; new features such as instant search and enhanced games; movies now available in iTunes 7; excellent overall value.
The bad: The Apple iPod has added no major functions such as FM radio, wireless, recording; small screen not conducive to movie viewing; proprietary USB cable; narrow native video-format compatibility; body is still scratch prone.
The bottom line: The amazingly low priced updated Apple iPod gets many under-the-hood improvements, but it's still not a true video player.
Most of this review of the 5.5G iPod will cover new features and performance numbers. For a closer look at the basic design and base features of the iPod, read this review.
Same look and feel
The iPod's physical specs are nearly the same as those of the original fifth generation. It's still one of the sleekest high-capacity players around at 4.1 by 2.4 by 0.43 inches and 4.8 ounces for the 30GB and 4.1 by 2.4 by 0.55 inches and 5.5 ounces for the 80GB model, which has exactly the same dimensions and weight as the now-defunct 60GB version. For me personally, the 80GB version (the one we actually reviewed) feels nicer in the hand than the razor-thin 30GB. The 80GB is enticing for video addicts both for the capacity (iTunes movies are about 1.5GB) and the better battery life (rated for up to 6.5 hours); plus, it's a great value at $349. Though the $249 retail price tag for the 30GB version is outstanding, excellent Windows Media players such as Creative's 30GB Zen Vision:M and Toshiba's 30GB Gigabeat S cost nearly the same on the street.
The iPod is still pretty easy to scratch, both on the soft and shiny plastic face and the classic metallic backside. Fingerprints love the iPod more than they do most players. You'll definitely want to carry the iPod in a case, or at least protect the screen with adhesive film, since now you'll be watching $9.99 iTunes movies. I think the black version looks nicer, but scratches show up on it more easily. A new Nano-like scratch- and print-proof aluminum case would have taken the iPod over the top.
The new iPod also has a brighter screen--by up to 60 percent. Not that the iPod had a dim screen in the first place, but brighter is always better, especially when it doesn't come at the cost of battery life. In a side-by-side comparison of the old and new screens (at default brightness), the new iPod is noticeably brighter. Even after updating the old iPod to firmware 1.2, which among other things adds brightness control, the old iPod screen at the brightest setting matches only the new one's default setting. Battery life will take a hit at the higher setting, so turn it up only when your'e watching video or viewing photos. You can even adjust brightness while watching a movie by clicking the Select button twice during playback. Conversely, you should turn the brightness down when listening to audio; as always, the iPod can be viewed with the backlight turned off.
I still have a problem with watching video for more than 30 minutes on that small 2.5-inch screen. Even a kickstand would help for hands-free viewing, though a bigger-screened unit like the Cowon A2 or Archos 604 would have made the portable iTunes movie experience more satisfying. There are some portable accessories such as the Memorex iFlip that dock with the iPod and increase its viewing size to up to 8.4 inches. Though the proprietary dock connector isn't nearly as convenient as a standard USB port, the iPod benefits from its thousands of dock connector-based third-party accessories.
Once again, Apple does a good job of minimizing packaging and bundled accessories, which include a newly designed set of white earbuds, a proprietary USB cable, a soft case, and a dock adapter. Unfortunately, like many MP3 players these days, you'll have to pony up extra to get a power adapter ($29). You also don't get an iTunes software CD, which leaves nonconnected folks in the dust. And while the futuristic headphones sound decent, they didn't stay firmly in my ears (no foam earbud covers in this version).
A wiser iPod
The iPod's enhanced software definitely makes it better. For one, you can search tunes using an alphabet-style instant search. The last option in the Music menu, Search places a two-line virtual keyboard at the bottom of the screen; the first letter you select brings up all artist, album, and song titles that begin with that letter, with albums and artists indicated by icons. Results pop up dynamically as you enter new letters. If you type in ca, you'll get results listed by all the titles that start with ca, then continue with any mention of the letters ca in any title. It's a little more sophisticated than the search features found in the Creative Zen Vision:M (and other players that actually invented search-by-letters), but because you have to select Done to browse your results, it's a tad more tedious to use.
Another "borrowed" feature is that as you scroll through tracks, the first letter of the track section appears as a graphical button overlay. This is truly convenient when scrolling through huge lists where your desired alphabet "sector" used to whiz by, and you'd have to make a U-turn. I've found that I still tend to pass up my desired letter, but not by much. Oh, yeah; does this navigation goodie remind you of the Toshiba Gigabeat S?
Gapless playback is probably one of the most requested minor features in any MP3 player, and Apple has responded. Many music fanatics, especially those who like dance music, can now enjoy their music without annoying gaps. I think this is a valuable feature that should be implemented more throughout the MP3 world (the classic Rio Karma and the current Archos 04 series also do pure gapless playback). The new iPod lineup (the updated iPod, iPod Nano, and iPod Shuffle) as well as the older 5th generation iPod with the software update) can apply the gapless playback settings that need to be manually stitched to each track in iTunes (Editor's correction: we had earlier reported that the original 5th-generation could not playback gapless audio).
Finally, Apple has added a refined games section, which includes titles such as Bejeweled, Tetris, Texas Hold 'Em, and Pac-Man. The games are quality, though familiar games such as Pac-Man take some adjustment as you need to tap the Click Wheel to control the little guy. It also takes a good 12 seconds to load a game. New games are available online at the iTunes Store and will cost $4.99 each.
As we all know, the new iPod is dependent on iTunes 7 (read the review), particularly when it comes to DRMed audio or video. The software, which has added both a cool interface (like Cover Flow) and audio playback features (such as gapless playback) has frustrated many users with its bugginess. Given my bug-free experience on both Mac and Windows versions, my review of iTunes 7 was favorable. But beware that the software has caused headaches for many users-- Apple needs to issue an update soon.
In addition to being home base for setting up gapless playback of tracks on the iPod, iTunes 7 now features a device manager option that allows you to set your iPod up directly within the iTunes interface. The main landing page displays a graphic and vital stats of your iPod and allows you to check off universal settings such as "Manually manage music and videos" and "Only sync checked items." Additionally, you can update or restore your iPod from this summary page. Content is managed by clicking tabs for specific types such as Music, Movies, TV Shows, and Contacts. Finally, at the bottom of this window is a color-coded capacity meter that visually breaks down Audio, Video, Photo, Other, and Free Space. Again, it's not like I haven't seen integrated management in Windows Media Player, but the use of a nested window rather than a new one helps. One more related feature: You're now allowed to move songs off the iPod as long as the recipient computer is authorized to listen to or view the content. So now you can transfer your purchased music (no MP3s) from your work computer to your home computer using the iPod. Simply authorize a new computer using the new Store/Authorize Computer option.
What can your old iPod do? And what we'd like to see improved
Owners of the original nonenhanced iPod benefit from upgrading to firmware 1.2. In addition to brightness control, new features include letter overlay, gapless playback, and the ability to playback the new 640x480 iTunes video content on the 320x240 screen. Older iPodders cannot play the enhanced iPod games nor can they perform an instant search (Editor's note: we had earlier reported that the older iPod did not feature gapless playback; in fact, it does with software update 1.2).
While the iPod's new features give it new life, we're disappointed that Apple couldn't add things that appear on most other MP3 players. You'd think Apple could integrate an FM radio, despite the slender size of the iPod. It seems the iPod equalizer presets have been improved. The unit sounds good and hiss free, though not as punchy and crisp as I prefer. I don't understand why Apple does not implement a custom EQ.
iPod performance: ups and downs
Most of us know that the preenhanced iPod was dogged for its two-plus hours of video battery life--a scrawny amount for watching movies in addition to enjoying music.. Now you'll get 75 percent more battery life with both sizes--that means you'll get up to a rated 3.5 hours of video battery life for the 30GB version and up to 6.5 hours for the 80GB. Audio playback is, strangely, the same--that is, up to 14 hours for the 30GB and 20 hours for the 80G. For CNET Labs tests, we got our hands on an 80GB version, which did nearly meet the audio estimate with 19.8 hours. When set to "factory brightness," the player offered a rather spectacular 8.7 hour battery life for video.
In unofficial testing, the 80GB version was able to play back a wide-screen iTunes movie (with brightness at default) more than three times, and very close to 6.5 hours. Officially, the CNET Lab tests found the iPod could handle 8.6 hours of video playback using the default brightness setting, 5.6 hours at maximum brightness, and 19.8 hours of audio-only playback. That's pretty impressive. Video, too, looks nicer on a brighter screen (and on a new iPod with a virgin screen), though the wide-screen movies are just too small to fully enjoy.
Boosting battery life will always make a product more appealing, and it looks like Apple responded to all the complaints. Basically, this brings the iPod in line with other players, such as the Creative Zen Vision:M and the Toshiba Gigabeat S, in terms of video battery life. And now you can watch a couple of movies on a plane trip, plus have some extra juice for music and photos. Navigating the iPod is as smooth as ever--we experienced little to nil processor delays, though we often feel the hard drive engaging and disengaging.
So that's it--while the 6G "true video" iPod will still be a figment of the tech world's imagination (check back at Macworld '07), the enhanced 5G iPod looks more attractive than ever with its incremental updates. It looks the same as the original (accessory companies breathe a collective sigh), but under the hood, you have an iPod that makes the original 5G iPod look rusty.
Pricing is a huge aspect here; $249 for the 30GB iPod, as far as I know, is the best price for a 30GB player I've ever seen. And for another $100, you get 80GB! Nice job there, Apple. For me personally, the gapless playback and better battery life make the iPod the most attractive one to date, and it's certainly a better value than the similarly priced but much smaller 8GB Nano.

No Problems Here

Summary: I have had two Ipods. The first one lasted for two years(Zero Problems), then I dropped it in the gym, and that was it for that one. That is why you need some kind of protective case, the price of repair on these things is almost as much as a new one. The Ipod I have now is about a year old(Zero Problems). I have read the other negative reviews, and I believe for the most part it is operator error. Yes, you do have to use iTunes to transfer music, videos, etc.. to your Ipod. However you do not have to buy all(or any) of your music through the iTunes Store.

A well rounded MP3 player with a video touch
by Jotas on January 10, 2007
Pros: Large capacity for the price, Easy to use click wheel/navigation, sharp bright LCD, Tons of accessories!
Cons: Limited to iTunes software/store. Video usage and viewing is over hyped
Summary: Well what can I say. After purchasing a 4GB Nano as a gift, I took the plunge myself and ended up purchasing this 30GB 5th Gen iPod.
Well I'm ...Summary: Well what can I say. After purchasing a 4GB Nano as a gift, I took the plunge myself and ended up purchasing this 30GB 5th Gen iPod.
Well I'm not disappointed and have been able to import a lot of my music and have only made a slight dent to the hard drive capacity. Since I joined a gym I purchased a carrying case with a belt clip and arm strap. I also ended up purchasing the FM tuner adapter not for the FM tuner itself but for the control features it offers.
I'm used to the PSP controls being accessible via the similar interface that it used to come with. I love the iPod for it's sleek look and of course for the tons of accessories that are available for it.
On the negative side, the video option is over hyped. I am not sure who would like to sit on a plane looking at a wide screen movie on a tiny LCD screen. On a PSP this is doable and not exhausting. On the iPod it's not the best option. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice option to view quick clips like skits, and music videos but that's about it.
Overall you will not go wrong with this latest incarnation of the iPod. For the next gen of the iPod I would like to see illuminated control buttons on the click wheel and also a less scratch resistance but shiny face/screen. In addition a USB power adapter would be nice for the amount your spending.2 out of 2 users found this user opinion helpful.

Does What Its Designed To Do - Play Music!
by ajtrek on January 5, 2007
Pros: Very Nice Toy - Lots of Available Accessories
Cons: No Built -in FM Radio - Scratches Easily - Poor Documentation

Summary: O.K?.I guess I?ll throw in my two cents worth of opinion. My first choice was the Creative Zen Vision 30G. Lot?s of features and good reviews. I bought the iPod Nano for my girlfriend before buying the Creative Zen. Since I?m the techie I learned how to use it so I could pass along the knowledge to her (I?m such a nice guy). By now you know my secret?this was my first MP3 player (kind? a) I?ll explain later.
As I said?I?d read all the reviews about the Creative Zen and therefore decided to get it for myself. The deal breaker for me was that it scratched just by looking at it (Okay maybe not that easily)?but scratches it took with very little effort. I purchased a DLO case that fit so tight that the function buttons on the Zen were in a constant state of depression which affected its operation. Lastly, the touch pad (as I call it) was jittery and just didn?t have the same precision of the Nano?s click wheel. Bottom-line, I returned the Zen for the iPod Video 30G.
I mentioned that the iPod was my first MP3 player?kind? a. Truth is I own a Sony PSP that I?ve download music to. However, the PSP is a portable game/video device first and a MP3 player second. The iPod is a MP3 player first and a portable game/video device second. You gotta know (and accept) the limitations of the devices you own. If you want to watch videos and play games get a PSP. If you want to listen to music get an iPod. I recommend the Sony MDR-EX90LP ear buds?about $100 list.
I haven?t owned my iPod for very long so I haven?t experienced the problems listed by other reviewers within two or eight weeks. Although, I wonder if the issues stem from frustration (a lack of knowledge) and/or abuse? I recommend the following book that retails for about $20 and offers a wealth of knowledge about the iPod (including the Nano and the Shuffle) entitled ?The iPod Book? by Scott Kelby. Remember, the iPod 30G is not a flash drive like the Nano or Shuffle. It (iPod 30G) operates much in the same way as the hard drive on your computer?so take care not to throw it around like a brick.
Maybe Apple (without jack?n up the price for the next generation iPod) will consider a built-in FM radio, a real equalizer and a cool color screen (with better resolution) for those of you who insist upon using it as a video/game player?much like the Zen. But for now the iPod gets my overall vote.2 out of 2 users found this user opinion helpful.

They've had generations to improve, but...
by fattytca on March 11, 2007
Pros: Bright, beautiful screen for photos, lots of memory

The ...Summary: I picked this iPod because I decided that although there are less expensive models from other manufacturers, the iPod is the benchmark and has the best/most plentiful peripherals.
The player is fine - it does what it is supposed to, but the interaction was odd to me, not being a Mac guy.
Examples, I plugged the iPod into my PC and the screen started flashing this ominous circle with a cross through it warning about "Do not disconnect."
So I waited it out, figuring it would stop after it charged fully...?
No, it always says that when it's plugged in.
You also cannot access anything directly FROM the unit while it's plugged in. It just flashes that screen as if it's locked.
But my biggest beef is with the iTunes software
#1 I'm ripping all of my CD's to the harddrive so I can have MP3's... I have hundreds of CD's, and unfortunately, being able to quickly tell which cd's I ripped is tough since iTunes quickly catalogues them - not by time ripped, but by artist, album name, etc... which is fine, but if you are doing many sessions of ripping, keeping track is hard...
#2 There is an area where you drag the songs you ripped to iTunes to your iPod... I guess that's intuitive enough... there is the same thing for video, okay, I get it... but not one for photos? Why not? That's more complicated?
#3 BIGGEST BEEF - You are forced to "Sync" with a folder of your songs... so in other words, if you are ripping cd's, you put them on your harddrive first... then you put them onto the iPod... that's fine - then you must KEEP them on the harddrive or risk having them erased from the iPod the next time you "Sync" to the computer to add more songs.
Sure there's an option to manually push songs over instead of the auto sync, but that's one button push away from wiping out all of the songs you just put on the harddrive... Try cleaning out your harddrive of those 30GB of music and all of a sudden you may have wiped out your songs.
(This is where all of the idiots put their comment in on - "if you're rich enough to buy an iPod, then you're rich enough to buy an external harddrive for your songs.")
Well, I don't want to hold onto those songs on the harddrive! I already have "hard copies" in cd format and a digital copy on my iPod!
It seems to me that removing songs from your iPod should not be the default that Apple forces us into! It should be an exception! So Apple got it wrong there.
But on the whole it's fine: a nice mp3 player with a ton of storage and a brighter screen than I expected that displays gorgeous pictures.
Since it did what I thought it would do: Play music adequately, that gets an average rating of 5/10
Since it impressed me with its screen, I'll give that part an above average of 9/10
Since the software and instructions are so poor, I'll give that a below average of 2/10
That rounds out to about a 5/10.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

The greatest thing about the iPod is the interface. It makes it so easy to quickly find what you're looking for and also easy to make adjustments on the fly (ie, volume, eq, etc). Also, the amount of storage is huge, so much so that my 30 gb is larger than the entire hard drive on my now 5 year old laptop. That's pretty incredible, especially considering the sizes of the new ipods now out.
The only real complaints I have with this unit is the iTunes software and the battery life. iTunes automatically preloads part of the program into memory when your computer starts so it won't seem so slow when you actually open it. In addition to that, it consumes a lot of system resources so that whenever it is open all my other programs bog down. I have not experienced this with any other program to date.
Also, when watching video the battery life is very short.
So that's it. I definitely would recommend this product to anyone. That being said, definitely do your homework because there is a lot of good competition in this market.
Specifications
- Manufacturer: Apple
- Part number: MA446LL/A
- Description: Now that you can buy movies from the iTunes Store and sync them to your iPod, the whole world is your theater. With a 30GB or 80GB iPod in hand, those movies fit comfortably next to TV shows, new iPod games, podcasts, audiobooks, photo albums, and, of course, an entire library of music - up to 20,000 songs, in fact. How much can your pocket hold? That's up to you and your iPod. It holds up to 20,000 songs, up to 25,000 photos, and up to 100 hours of video - or any combination of each. So you can browse movies on the iTunes Store, download the ones you want (Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, perhaps?), and then sync it to your iPod. Same goes for TV episodes, new iPod games, 99¢ songs, best-selling audiobooks, and an entire universe of free podcasts. Go ahead. Fill 'er up. With all that music at your fingertips, you may never want to stop listening. Lucky thing your iPod plays audio for up to 20 hours. Or, if you'd rather watch, you can feast your eyes on movies and TV shows for up to six-and-a-half hours. It might be a miracle. Otherwise, it's hard to explain exactly how 30GB of storage can fit into an iPod that's over 30% thinner than the previous fourth generation. Or how an 80GB iPod can be the same size as the 60GB model before it. However it happened, it means you can carry your entire music collection - plus a nice selection of video - absolutely everywhere you go. And a 60% brighter, more vibrant display gives your album art, photos, and video extra oomph. Finding what you want to hear among 20,000 songs could be quite a chore - unless you have an iPod. A new interface lets you search your iPod using the patented Click Wheel. And if you're a fan of live albums, classical works, or anything that sounds best when it's continuous, iPod supports gapless playback that seamlessly transitions from one song to another.
