Advantages and disadvantages of the iPod
video
The new iPod video became famous due to its huge memory and the
capacity of playing video, due to its slim design and longer
life battery. Still, there are voices that point out some
disadvantages and highlight different negative aspects.
Taking into account that there are few perfect things made by
the human hand, these aspects may be used by the iPod video
creators for further improvements. Therefore, the customer’s
reviews are very important and the suggestions may be really
taken into account.
The fact that the screen is bigger is great, but the
surface is easy to scratch, aspect that is more in the cons
category. Although the image is excellent and the clarity
screen may be easily compared with the TV set’s screen quality,
there are still some problems with freezing video images. There
is a great achievement the fact that the light, sun or other
previous obstacles are annihilated, but another important
problem is the unresponsiveness in some cases.
The dimensions of the new iPod video are great, but there is no
way you may watch it with more than several persons. Anyway, it
was designed for personal not collective needs and you may
still share your photo album and music or video music
preferences with one person. The flat screen is large enough to
enjoy your favorite videos.
Although the life battery is longer, the complaints concern the
short battery life for video. And this complaint may be
balanced by the fact that the video is played with no flaw. The
pros of the new iPod video are considered the cool look, the
impressive number of features, the great organization of the
music menu so that you may even rank your favorite songs. The
cons of the new iPod video are considered the absence of FM
option, the fact that no cradle is included, the impossibility
of connecting the iPod video to the computer and the cost.
The amazing new features concern the sound quality – it is
clearer and stronger with a bass that is stronger articulated,
the sound is also louder than that of the previous generations.
The other good features are the easy control, the video feature
is classified with “great”, but the flaws regard the
interruption of the sound between the tracks, being blanked
out. There are still other suggestions regarding the battery
life, taking into account the amount of music that the new iPod
video has.
The pros may be gathered together pointing out the thin and
attractive enclosure with a great display, the best sound,
15-20 hours of music, new clock and the time in other parts of
the world. The cons highlight the incompleteness of the video
integration that suggests the experimental project aspect,
absence of the new games, no changes in the interface, the
smaller screen than expected especially for video features
edition. Another disadvantage concerns the slow transfer of
photos direct from the camera.
Some critics point out the fact that the design and the
features of the new iPod video may be seen from different
perspectives. Therefore, the complaints and the satisfaction
may be contradictory. These aspects may be seen from a movie
lover perspective, an audiophile or photographer or even from a
simple consumer with no great expectations. That is why you may
find musician’s reviews or video addicted reviews that are in
contradiction. You may decide in which category you may be
situated for deciding if the new iPod video is worth the money
or not.
From the same point of view, you may say that as a music player
the new iPod video has superior quality of sound. As a screen
for the photo album, the clarity of the screen may win the
competition with any TV set’s screen. As a movie player, the
iPod video is below the expectations, but it may be considered
a great step in the video technology.
