   I think this is iPod pinnacle in design.

   It got decent capacity (40GB on mine), but lacks clutter like the Color Screen, honest, i see no buzz in seeing videos on the move (Remember how miserably failed portable TV’s)There’s a reason why people don’t see movies while walking (Involving crossing streets and roadkill).
   Also a iPod screen is anyway too small to see photos.

   I consider it prettier and more pure in design.

   Suck it. That worked out so well. The video made it so much easier to show videos to your friends, or just to watch a nice movie while you’re in a flight or train. You can take a big laptop, that takes more time to turn on and set up, but I’ll stick with my iPod.

   I have to disagree with James too. Video saved my life on airline flights, bus rides, and the like. While I mainly use my 5th gen for music, watching a movie is a nice change of scenery.

   Right on James. Different devices for different uses. This is why I will never own an iPhone.

   I’ve had my 4th gen ipod for a number of years. I really enjoy the portability and fine digital quality audio this little powerhouse (for its time) has delivered to my ears over many, many hours at 40,000 feet on biz travel. Paired up with a set of Bose QC-1 headhones, you couldn’t beat that with a stick. Time to move on now, though. I just received a new ipod Touch 8GB by cashing in some Holiday Inn Priority Club points. Finally, a free ipod. Oh yeah, I wore out th QC-1 ear cushions. Upgraded to QC-2’s. Another great combo. Rock on Apple, rock on.

   I have this model currently. Its alright, bit bulky and its hard to find cases for it theese days. It officially broke about a month ago. Im debating upgrading to the touch or 8G (new) nano. I might possibly consider another 30G Video. Apple gives you so many options!

    I just got a used one from a friend of mine. Just a classic styling. I never liked the 3rd generation, but my first iPod ever was a Mini (G2). Its amazing how it feels, and how different it is. I love it. Currently trying to resurrect the battery to a good charge…its taking awhile.

    Mine froze up once & now the battery discharges in about an hour, whether or not it is being used, but other than that virtually trouble free for five years & thousands of hours of use.

    I have 3 20gb 4th generations with click-wheel. All work fine and are used regularly. One in the car, one connected to home stereo, one in bedroom. Possibly the fact that they don’t get jostled much has extended their lives. Rarely have they been used with headphones…just on a few flights I’d take one with me.

    it’s cute and even though it’s old it doesn’t run out of battery too much.
