Audio battery life could be longer. FM tuner and recording capabilities require optional accessories. Video-format support could be broader.
The latest version of the iPod has a few enhancements, including longer video battery life, support for some cool games, a brighter screen, a search feature, and larger capacity (up to 80GB). And the price drop is nice too.

The enhanced iPod has the same sleek design with improved video battery life and brighter screen; it brings gapless playback to the masses; up to 80GB; new features such as instant search and enhanced games; movies now available in iTunes 7; excellent ...

Though improved in brightness and color accuracy over prior version, 2.5” screen is still too small for long-term video viewing, and users still must convert videos to one of only two compatible video formats. Unlike photos and videos, games can...
When we rated the original fifth-generation iPod as an A-/B+ product last year, our feeling was that Apple had created its best audio and photo device ever, with cleaner audio, more features, better photo quality and special transition effects than in ...
Abstract: If you want a one-stop solution for everything—music, video, podcasts, and more—the Apple iPod is your player. Unlike most PMPs, wed use the iPod as our primary music device. Videos and TV shows we bought through the iTunes Music Store ($1.9...
