Editorial Review:

A delight for the ears. A feast for the eyes. Though it's no bigger than a pack of playing cards and weighs in at just over 6 ounces, iPod Photo delivers a one-two sensory punch. Letting you carry an entire library of your favourite music -- up to 15,000 songs -- or enough photos -- as many as 25,000 -- to fill nearly 200 slide trays or cover nearly 5,000 square feet of wall space. Got a really big den?

iPod Photo displays 25 full-colour thumbnails at a time, which can be scrolled through the same way you scroll through song titles.

The new iPod Photo feature a razor sharp LCD display that lets you see your photos in vivid colour -- 65,536 colours, to be exact. And with its built-in backlighting, you'll be able to admire those photos indoors or out. Take Your Photos for a Spin Like its famous siblings, iPod Photo features the touch-sensitive Apple Click Wheel that's the envy of the industry. You'll use it to navigate iPod Photo's new menu. Now in living color, its easier to read than ever. That's thanks in part to the clarity of the display -- it offers 220 x 176-pixel resolution -- and in part to the new Myriad typeface. Spin the wheel to Music, and you can scroll effortlessly through dozens of playlists, hundreds of albums or thousand of songs. Or highlight Photos. iPod Photo displays 25 full-colour thumbnails at a time. And you can scroll through them the same way you scroll through song titles. Quickly. Just spin the wheel to see more. And when you see a photo you'd like displayed all by its lonesome, just click the centre button and voila. No one will have to say "cheese" as long as you have iPod Photo around. Whether you're listening to tunes or checking out photos, you're sure to be all smiles.

Get Brownie Points for Sharing If you'd like everyone else to smile right along with you, iPod Photo makes it easy. Sure, you could let them take the Click Wheel for a spin themselves, but here's a way to get extra points for style. Use the included AV cable to connect iPod Photo to a projector or TV. You can mesmerise friends and family with a glorious multimedia experience, offering them a breathtaking slideshow accompanied by the music you already have on your iPod Photo. Of course, you get to choose the songs, albums or playlists. And talk about smart, iPod Photo optimises your photos to fit on a standard (4:3) or widescreen (16:9) TV. iTunes 4.7: Your Photo Passport Wondering how you're going to get all your digital photographs into iPod Photo? iTunes 4.7. The new version lets you import your images directly into iPod Photo from a folder on the hard drive of your Mac or PC. Spent time organizing your photos using iPhoto on a Mac or either Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 or Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 on a PC? iTunes 4.7 rewards your diligence by importing the albums you've created in iPhoto or collections created in Album or Elements. You'll be able to choose them from the Photos menu on iPod Photo.

Wait, there's more. iPod Photo features even more robust Auto-Sync capabilities. Now, in addition to offering the industry's best music syncing, iTunes offers stellar photo syncing, as well. Update your photo collection by adding images or creating new albums, and the next time you connect iPod Photo to your Mac or PC using the included FireWire or USB 2.0 cables, iTunes 4.7 will automatically synchronise your photo collection.

And did we mention that iTunes 4.7 also autosyncs Album Art? It's true. The Album Art downloaded when you purchase music from the iTunes Music Store is transferred to iPod Photo along with the music. So while iPod Photo plays your tunes, you can enjoy the Album Art -- in colour, of course -- on the Now Playing screen.

Enjoy Improved Battery Life
Whether you're on a transcontinental flight or an extra long hike, if you plan to listen to music for hours and hours, iPod Photo has you covered. Fully charged, it lets you enjoy up to 15 hours of continuous music; or up to 5 hours of continuous slideshows with music. Use the iPod Photo Dock, FireWire or USB 2.0 cables to quickly charge the batteries.

• Note for people who want and MP3 for working out with...
  I bought this after deciding that i wanted to up grade from my mini disk. I had heard how great MP3 players were for working out with as they could store a real mixture of music.
  DONT USE THIS THOUGH!!!!! it is (i have been told) that this this is the last ipod apple made before they went totally digital. In other words there is still a small moving part within here. SO if you work out for anything longer than say 15mins - especially with an activity like running, then this part starts to shift about... more info

• Fabulous
  I've always been a fan of iPods, so this may be a little biased, but in my opinion you can't get much better than this product!

  Firstly, looks. The 2.0in (diagonal) screen is absolutely gorgeous, very sharp and clear, and I think it's fine for viewing photos on as well. The smooth casing with the clickwheel (what an invention!) looks great as well, and the product, while being thicker than ever before, still has an undeniable cool factor.

  The storage space is amazing, and I don't know anyone who would... more info

• A is for Apple
  Well, what can you say about what is probably the best thing you'll buy this year or next? Let the kids go hungry and get yourself one of these little beauties, that's what I say.

  Let me start off my review with a confession. Since picking my iPod up the other day I haven't seen my family, or indeed daylight, for days. No Christmas TV repeats for me! The capacity on the 60GB model is quite simply HUGE - plenty of room for your entire music collection as well as, and here's where the new iPod is a delight,... more info

• iPod 60Gb photo
  I purchased this blind and I'm so so pleased I opted for the photo version. It really is so minimally bigger than the 20Gb 4 Gen model but the fact that its in colour makes a massive difference.

  Apple really does make the coolest gear around. This is so so so much better than any other MP3 players out there and it work so so well with iTunes.

  Perfect. Go out and buy the iPod Photo.
