Good, not great. 
2008-04-07
The 60gb is good, but if you need more memory I highly recommend you max out your storage needs and get the 160gb version. I now sync every month or so. Can't beat that.
i love my ipod!

I've been an iPod user since I bought a 5gb way back in '02, and they just keep getting better! I have owned a 60GB white 5th gen iPod for several months now, and I'm very very pleased with it. I use it for upwards of three hours a day, since I not only have all my music on it, but lots of TV shows, podcasts and audibooks. I also recently bought the AV connection kit, and use that to watch my TV shows from the iPod on my TV
Things I like about it:
* Easy to use and look good
* Excellent sound quality if you encode your music at a high bitrate and use a decent set of headphones
* Plays TV programs on my TV with surprisingly good quality
* iTunes is awesome - probably my prime reason for sticking with the iPod
* Podcast support is wonderful - I look forward to new episodes every time I use the iPod (I'm a Scott Sigler junkie too)
Things I don't like so much:
* Poor battery life if using the backlight
* 60GB ain't enough for me now, but that's not the iPods fault..
A Great Product 2007-08-02
I'm checking out some of the reviews here, and have decided to post my *complete* thoughts on this topic.
First off I'd like to say that it doesn't matter if the iPod is black or white.
Second:
Alot of people here seem to be angry about the "freezing black apple screen". It can be frustrating. If, however, you depress the center button and menu button at the same time for about five seconds the iPod will reset it self (this process requires about three minutes to complete). My songs have never been lost when this happened. I'd also like to note that I've had this iPod for 14 months now and use it from 4 to 10 hours in a day, every day. I'd again like to note that I bought a rubber case for my iPod 14 months ago as well.
It has only frozen about 4 or 5 times, which has only cost me about twenty minutes of silence in 14 months.
Some of these reviews speak of the low quality of this product, like saying it has crashed, or is now completely useless, or apple is an impossible company to deal with (this I agree with), or the procuct is over-hyped, or... well this is just a montage of thoughts and quotes.
I am very happy with this product and I expect it to work for at least 3 more years, but I'll never know because It's practically filled up and will have to move on to a much larger allotment of space. I have about 3 gigs left. At 160 kbps I have 10,419 songs I have 152 songs that are over twenty minutes long, some album sides burnt to CD then ripped to my iPod.
This is a product to take advantage of people, while It's still around.
I bought mine new for $400 dollars, I just saw a 5 Gig on sale at the mall for $189 dollars thats half price with TWELVE TIMES LESS SPACE!!!! A rip off if I've ever seen one, especially when you can buy the 60 gig on this site for considerably less than I bought mine for.
I do not work for apple of amazon email me for more details buyers.
Nice, but not w/o problems 2007-07-20
I've had several minis for 3+ years and have had very few problems. In the 4 months I've had had this 60 GB it has frozen 3-4 times requiring the "5R" treatment including wiping the thing clean and reloading all the songs back on.
The wheel also sustained a crack in the plastic while it was in a very sturdy case in a padded pocket in my purse. This is odd because I only use my ipod on my my commute for less than an hour a day and am quite meticulous about its care.
The best part is the more-than-ample space for my music. My kids are disgusted that I have a video iPod (they don't), yet I refuse to buy videos. This iPod should give me space for the next few years if it lasts that long.

Worst Company I've Dealt With 
2007-07-01
For this price I expected a decent product. It breaks just after the warranty expires and they tell you they don't repair products, only replace them within warranty period. Zero stars would be much better as that is what I give it. It's difficult to get songs into the iPod and when it breaks you're out the whole enchilada! Look elsewhere if you want a decent personal jukebox and definitely avoid all things from Apple. I will be in the future.
More than 5 stars! 2007-05-07
The iPod video is SO far greater than my iPod Nano! It's still the best for music listening, but the picture quality is outstanding and playback is easy. The games are awesome, too! You won't regret buying one.
Fabulous 2007-04-11
Wonderful. Holds all my songs, holds my books on tape so I can listen on the road. Photos are large and sharp. Very easy to use and easy to download. The dials are excelent, on-off and volume work flawlessly. I have many products such as car adapter, speakers, external charger, and external microphone and all work great. I highly recommend the unit. I would never get less then 60 gigs, plenty of space for all of my needs. On my recent trip to California this was the only thing I took for entertainment; never listened to a song twice.
