Product Description
Now that you can buy movies from the iTunes Store and sync them to your iPod, the whole world is your theater. With the Apple 80 GB iPod with Video Playback in hand, those movies fit comfortably next to TV shows, new iPod games, podcasts, audiobooks, photo albums, and, of course, an entire library of music--up to 20,000 songs. How much can your pocket hold? That's up to you and your iPod, but no matter how you organize it, the iPod holds loads of songs and plenty of hours of video.



Your iPod library can now contain new iPod games and feature films.

The same great iPod interface and ease of use that goes great in any hand. With all your music at your fingertips, you may never want to stop listening. Lucky thing your iPod plays audio for hours and hours, or if you'd rather watch, you can feast your eyes on movies and TV shows for several hours without draining your battery. And you can count on the iPod to help you pack light. It is almost hard to explain exactly how 80 GB of storage can fit into an iPod that's the same size as the 60 GB model before it. However it happened, it means you can carry more music and video absolutely anywhere you go. And with a 60-percent brighter screen, the vibrant display gives your album art, photos, and video extra oomph. As always, iPod makes finding what you want to hear a breeze. Plus, a new interface lets you search your iPod using the patented Click Wheel. And if you're a fan of live albums, classical works, or anything that sounds best when it is played continuously, iPod supports gapless playback that seamlessly transitions from one song to another.

Music, Movies and TV Shows
Finding and playing music on your iPod is simple. Use the Click Wheel to adjust volume, navigate songs, or browse the Music menu by artists, composer, album, song, genre, or playlist. Want to mix things up? Simply click Shuffle Songs. iPod makes your music look as good as it sounds, thanks to its big, bright color display. Album art appears alongside your songs in the Now Playing screen, so you can see your music as you play it. After all, iPod loves music as much as you do.

Now you can watch a movie while waiting in line for tickets to one. Download movies from the iTunes Store, then sync them to your iPod to watch anywhere, anytime. The iPod's gorgeous display--now 60-percent brighter--makes your movies pop. And thanks to improved video playback time, iPod keeps you entertained for several hours--even longer if you reduce brightness using the new brightness control.

As for television programs, there's always something good on iPod. Browse thousands of episodes of your favorite TV shows on the iTunes Store, buy them for just a couple dollars each, then sync them to your iPod. Watch last night's episodes this morning, or buy a whole TV series and settle in for a pocket-size marathon. All your TV episodes display in order, so you can navigate them easily, and every episode you buy from iTunes is optimized to look great on the iPod's crystal-clear, 320 x 240-pixel display.

Podcasts, Audiobooks, Games, and Photos
The iTunes Store features thousands of free podcasts--radio-type shows you subscribe to--including indie favorites and offerings from big names such as, ABC News, Comedy Central, ESPN, PBS, NPR, and many more. Browse and subscribe to podcasts, then sync them to your iPod and listen anytime. Even video podcasts sync to go, and all your podcasts appear in their own menu on your iPod, so they're easy to navigate.



The iPod measures up nicely.

The iTunes Store is the bridge between your iPod and all the content your heart desires. The digital shelves of the iTunes Store are stocked with thousands of audiobooks, including such exclusives as the entire Harry Potter series. Download what you want, sync to your iPod and catch up on your reading the audio way. Just like podcasts, you can browse audiobooks in their own menu on your iPod. And your iPod automatically recognizes where you left off reading and bookmarks your place, so it is easy to dive back into the story. You can even change the reading speed to suit you--this is a perfect feature for learning a new language.

Now that the iTunes Store features iPod games, you can keep hours of fun at your fingertips. Download brand-new and classic games, including Bejeweled, Texas Hold 'Em, Vortex, Mahjong, Mini Golf, Pac-Man, Tetris, and Zuma, for just a few dollars each, then sync them to your iPod and play along with your favorite tunes. All iPod games from the iTunes Store are designed specifically for the fifth-generation iPod, and all of them look great on the 2.5-inch color display.

If you can fill your iPod with photos, then you've got a ton of images at your disposal. iPod holds tens of thousands of photos that you can sync from your Mac or Windows PC via iTunes. Use the Click Wheel to scroll through photo thumbnails the same way you scroll through song titles. To see a photo full-screen, just click the center button. You can even view photo slideshows--complete with music--on your iPod or on a TV via the optional iPod Video/Photo AV Cable. Select Slideshow Settings, choose the transition effect and the music, and then start the show.

Search, Settings, and Extras
With thousands of songs, audiobooks, and more on your iPod, you need an easy way to search and enjoy your collection. A brand-new, built-in search function lets you use the Click Wheel to type out the name of the song, artist, album, audiobook, or podcast you're looking for, and your iPod returns results instantly as you select letters--finding what you want couldn't be easier.

The fifth-generation iPod lets you customize menus, check capacity, change your language, change how your iPod sounds, and more, all from the easy-to-use Setting menu. Click About to see how many songs are on your iPod and how much room you have left. Click Main Menu to select what items appear in your Main Menu, tweak the built-in equalizer, or set a maximum volume limit--everything you need to personalize your iPod, from backlight timer to clicker sound effects, appears in Settings.

And, lastly, your iPod is loaded with extras. Everything from calendars, contacts, and the World Clock appear in the Extras menu, along with a few more handy items. Take the Screen Lock, for example. Spin the Click Wheel to choose a four-digit combination and protect your iPod from prying eyes. If you forget your combo, you can reset it at your next sync. Or use the built-in stopwatch to log your best times at the gym. And when it's finally time to play, the Extras menu lists all your games, including the ones you purchase from the iTunes Store.

Here is what people are saying about the Apple 80 GB iPod with Video Playback (Black)
5 Star Rating  "Still the Best Sound"2009-11-02
- Reviewed By User: A2LXJNDC9V136T
The 5.5 Generation iPod sounds better than the iPod Classics. Apple changed the sound components to an inferior brand and clearly degraded the sound quality. In addition, the scroll wheel on the 5.5 Gen. is much easier to navigate.

If you are looking for an iPod and need 80GB or less, this is the best choice for your money.

One has to wonder why it is still priced at $[...] (as of Oct. 2009).

Bought a refurbished one, after years of enjoying my Creative Zen Xtra and looking down on all iPods. So I looked at this only after it was pretty clear nobody in the world was doing any future development for my player, which I still love. The refurbished iPod 5.5 gen. 80Gb I bought has a new, brighter screen (a DYI fix if you're reasonably good with your hands and can follow instructions), new battery with higher capacity (nearly 18 hours and even easier to replace than the screen), and new hard drive. I still resent the fact that the user can't replace a batter - seems to be a religion with Apple, even on their mobile phones, when the rest of the civilized world can buy a new battery for any other mobile phone. Go figure.

But what made the decision easy for me - and I will warmly recommend this to anyone - was the availability of the open-source Rockbox firmware for this model (and many other iPod models while we're at it).

Available from [...], the firmware allows you to play (in addition to all of Apple's formats) "royalty free" formats like .ogg, FLAC (FREE Lossless Audio Codec), MPEG for video, plus features like gapless playback, ReplayGain support - the list goes on and on.

Like different themes? You can roll your own, or choose from a pretty wide gallery of themes, install them on your player, and customize them to your heart's content.

And then there's games. Doom? Packman - with the original look and feel? You got it. And applications to view photos, text files, contacts, calendars, and many more. Get a complete list at the rockbox site.

Oh, and the beauty of it? The original Apple firmware stays on your player, and you can dual-boot and switch between them.

Interestingly, any track you load via the iTunes software on your computer, with your player booted into the Apple firmware, will be visible to Rockbox - after you refresh the Rockbox database on the player. But the opposite is not true - Tracks you've loaded when the player was booted into Rockbox won't be visible to the Apple firmware.

You only need to download and install a small utility (Windows, Mac OS-X, Linux 32-bit, Linux 64-bit - and since this is open source, the source code is available too). This will in turn install a boot-loader on your player, and the operating-system software. It will go and fetch games, fonts, and themes for you, as well as updates to the OS, and install them on your player.

It will cost you nothing, so first, BACK UP YOUR iPod, and give it a try.

I'll keep this short and simple. I purchased a 120 Gig model and already owned the 80 Gig. I had both plugged into my Harmon-Kardon IPOD Dock qued to the same song. The 80 Gig model with Whitney Houston Singing sounded like she was singing in my ear. The 120 Gig sounded like she was singing with a towel over her mouth. So, I purchased this Second 80 gig model and gave away the 120 Giger... Teh 120 Gig model had a snappier interface but Shame on Apple for killing the sound by getting rid of the Wolfson DAC chip and substituting the Cirrus. Come on Mr. Jobs. You snuck in a product change.
