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. |
