Infosync world has an accurate review of the newest generation Apple iPod 80gb mp3 player, giving it a valutation of 86%, with design, sound, accessories and battery life considered ‘very good’, transfering of files ‘excellent’ and other features (fm radio, video playback, etc) ‘good’.
The reviewer concludes: “Pros: Best transfer and management software. Classic design. Great sound and videos look sharp even on the small screen.
Cons:
The apple iPod 80gb lacks some features without additional hardware. Interface is looking dated. No WMA support without re-encoding song file.
The iPod is the best digital audio player on the market, and there is still room for improvement. While other players have tried to add features and accessories to make up for their shortcomings, the iPod gets it right with a slick hardware design, easy-to-use interface, and the best transfer software in the game, bar none. Both iTunes and the iPod’s lightning-quick transfer speeds make the player a winner, so the addition of video and the iTunes store are just the icing on the cake. We don’t think any other audio manufacturer will be able to match the iPod’s popularity until they get these things right: the interface, the transfer speeds, and the management software, because in these areas, the iPod is unbeatable”
