Reviews of the Apple iPod Photo (40GB)

    CNET Review

    December 8, 2004

    The Good: Intuitive photo viewing; displays album art; adds color to your iPod experience; mammoth 40GB hard drive; includes dock (with S-Video out), FireWire cable, A/V cable, and carrying case not included with newer 30GB and 60GB versions; latest firmware update plus optional Camera Connector allows for direct digital-camera transfers of photos that are viewable on iPod.

    The Bad: Package doesn't include iPhoto 4.0; battery life is poor when used primarily for viewing photos; slightly heavier and thicker than fourth-generation iPod.

    The Bottom Line: Although it's no longer available through Apple, the 40GB iPod Photo is a good value, considering its lower street price and inclusion of some key accessories.

    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
