Reviews of the Apple iPod (20GB, color)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Intuitive photo viewing; displays album art; adds color to your iPod experience; choice of 20GB or mammoth 60GB hard drive; lets you view photos and listen to music simultaneously; speedy performance; optional Camera Connector will allow direct digital-camera transfers of photos, which will be viewable on iPod; solid battery life.
The Bad: Package doesn't include iPhoto 4, FireWire cable, A/V cable, or dock; slightly heavier and thicker than fourth-generation non-color iPod.
The Bottom Line: The iPod Photo is a beautiful and versatile device with a new, affordable price.

Review Summary: Choosing what snaps to display and matching them with their own soundtrack is fun and easy, and the picture quality is good. In day-to-day use, the audio side of the equation is consistent with other fourth-generation iPods - in short, bloody impressive
