Yeehaa! Got My iPod Video
Months and months of saving my hard earned money has finally paid off when I got my very own iPod Video 30GB White.
To sweeten the achievement and to my pleasure, the iPod has performed wonderfully after I had transferred all the songs and videos using iTunes. With this, that’s one gadget off my wishlist.
Quick rundown of the iPod Video 30GB:
- 30GB of space. In actual, 27.8GB because of Windows thingy.
- Battery life is approximately 14 hours. Charging time is 4 hours (full) or 2 hours (80%). Charging is performed via a USB cable attached to your laptop or desktop.
- Weighs in at 136 grams
- Plays music and videos. Extra functions such as photo albums, calendar, to do, games and podcast.
So far, the drawbacks/shortfalls I noticed are:
- Integration with iTunes. To add and remove songs from your iPod, you need to do it through iTunes. There is no drag and drop function for transferring of files.
- Wall socket charger (like your mobile phones) is considered an accessory which you need to purchase separately. Available for RM119 at MacStudio (Ikano Power Center).
- iPod earphones are crappy. No difference with the normal Sony or Philips earphones you can purchase in Tesco. I am going to look for some Koss earbuds.
