  Apple iPod (80GB, video): great value upgrade
  By James Kim
  
  Pros: Same sleek design ; improved video battery life ; brighter screen ; gapless playback ; capacity up to 80GB ; new features such as instant search and enhanced games ; excellent overall value
  
  Cons: No major added functions such as FM radio, wireless transfer or recording ; small screen not conducive to movie viewing ; proprietary USB cable ; narrow native video-format compatibility ; body is still scratch-prone
  
  Verdict: The amazingly low priced, updated Apple iPod gets many under-the-bonnet improvements, but it's still not a true video player

  Pros: Bright screen. Excellent interface. Seamless integration with iTunes. You can transfer purchased music from iPod back to PCs. Very good sound quality. Long video battery life. Supports lossless and Audible formats, as well as gapless playback. ...
  
  Cons: Audio battery life could be longer. FM tuner and recording capabilities require optional accessories. Video-format support could be broader
  
  Verdict: The latest version of the iPod has a few enhancements, including longer video battery life, support for some cool games, a brighter screen, a search feature, and larger capacity (up to 80GB). And the price drop is nice too.
