5G (video) iPod Sales Strong?

Being worn out is one thing, but your actually acusing Applefor the fact that your belongings are getting dirty?????😕

The case doesn't really do the job of a case... My iPod has been in it's case, or in my hand and the front of it is pretty scratched up.. I will be using Displex and putting TheInvisibleShield on it, but still... That's pretty messed up..

i just returned my 5G white ipod back to apple.com. Battery life sux and it is way too scratch prone. i only had it for 10 days and there already were a few massive scratches and i almost NEVER take it out of it's case. Only to flip it over to connect it to my PowerBook! and the case was already getting all super dirty and worn out.

I dont want a product that im afraid to touch. Apple is my favorite complany, but im gonna wait this whole lawsuit out and probably gonna skip this gen of 'screened' iPods.

I bought a 1GB shuffle instead. and i can touch it! I had a U2 iPod before and sold it to get the 5G, so im still going through the shock of dropping down to the level of the shuffle, but i think i'll be alright, i just hope they hurry and change the material they use, both plastic front and metal backing, or at least make them scatch resistant.

I dont wanna hide something so beautiful in a case!!!!!😡

What Are you doin to your poor iPod. I work in a Apple retail store and I still have only seen one iPod scatched without the user draging it behind their car. My iPods fine.

I love my 60 GB Video iPod. I think it is a much better deal than the Nano. At my Apple store the white one is selling more than the black one. Probably because of the rumored scratches that can happen. I have the black one and I don't see any scratches just using it normally. Perhaps people are dragging their iPods on the street using the included headphones.

I finally have an iPod that can hold my entire music collection and photos. No more dragging and dropping songs. I knew that video iPods would be a major hit. The screen size to me is actually an advantage of not being too big so I can carry it around. I didn't find the small screen size a problem at all even after 3 hours of continous use.

No doubt on that ! You know people are not just buying ipod , they're collecting them.

It 's not a surprise my friends usually hold more than 1 ipod, some may have 3-4 ipods, n they would never want to sell them out.

People using Apple 's products seldom to switch , you will only switchs into Apple's world, what they call " distortion field '' effect from Jobs.

it very much seems like the sources are right. i still haven't seen one myself, eventhough I work at a apple retail store 😛 ..same thing with black nano.

then again, we're talking about finland. must be the last country getting the stuff. oh well, at least we got itms before sweden 😉

(förlåt mig, Pelle Svensson)

Jätte bra!! hehehehe...you don't have to complain; at least the nice Finn girls are not as feministic as Swedish ones..!

Video Ipods have gone from 5-7 days to 1-3 days now on the Apple Store US,seems lik ethey are catching up early enough for Christmas

 

[bunkre]

isn't this good news all around?

honestly, who are these people who feel it necessary to post a negative rating on anything ipod on this site?😕

 

[Doozy]

I want both the 60gig and a 2gig nano. Of course you can't always get what you want.

I wonder how many college kids are going to buy these just to relieve boredome in classes... I know I would...

As a college educator, I have to take issue with this statement. 🙂

I've already caught students in my lectures listening to their iPods. It is rude and disrespectful, but it also gives me the opportunity to come up with some ways to embarrassing students (like walking up to them, asking them to listen to their music, and then saying "So, you really like Brittney Spears, huh?") Video iPods will give me the chance to change "Brittany Spears" to "porn."

I just got mine last night. I sold my 30gig photo to get it and it was worth it. How ever I really do miss the firewire and the remote port. I was using my ipod as an external hard drive on my 466 clamshell but it looks like it is back to USB 1 there.

 

[mac_hine82]

I have to say the case that comes with the 5th gen at first I thought really sucked but! It fits nice and you can control your ipod through it. The only down side I see is that it gets dirty like a white suit in a coal mine.

I was thinking the same thing. I recently got my 5G 60gig iPod and use it as a portable bootable hard drive and have yet to put a scatch on it. I haven't had to take any, out of the ordinary, special precautions and find myself taking more extra care not to scratch my PSP than my iPod...

I am happy with my 3 year old 10 gig original iPod. I can not see myself buying a video iPod anytime soon.

It's definitely still under warranty, so call Apple again.
