Advantages: sleek design, price, colour screen, shows album artwork, plays videos. stores circa 7,500 songs

Disadvantages: Small screen not suitable for watching videos - would have to hold gadget and squint...

Every few weeks I stop by at the Apple store on Regent Street to explore the latest products. I am merely window shopping. On my last visit I headed straight to the new video ipods - 30 and 60 gb. I was impressed. The price was superb £219 for 30gb and £299 for 60gb. Both were half the size of the iPod that was released prior to these, and the colour screen was crisp and clear.

However - How can one possibly watch a vast quantitiy of videos on this? One would have to squint their eyes and continously hold the gadget to view the videos. I would rather sit back and view a video on a large screen. I Suppose it would suffice for a video fanatic or to watch the odd music video, in my opinion.

I was annoyed however ,that a few months ago I purchased a white photo iPod 60gb at a cost of £299 and now this sleeker model comes out. I feel short chanGed in a way and wish I could trade my model in just for the sake of the sleeker design...
