Review Summary Apple's fourth-generation iPod delivers notable improvements to an already excellent product--and at a lower price. The amazingly low priced updated Apple iPod gets many under-the-hood improvements, but it's still not a true video player. Apple's fourth-generation iPod delivers notable improvements to an already excellent product--and at a lower price. The iPod Photo is a beautiful and versatile device with a new, affordable price. Get the affordable, sleek, and sexy 5G Apple iPod for its audio virtues. Although video looks great, poor video battery life and a relatively small screen hamper its appeal to video heads.
