So it shoots video...

The radio tuner includes an instant pause feature

There’s also “iTunes Tagging” – you’re listening to a radio station and hear a song you like. You can “tag” it for easy identification and purchasing next time you sync with iTunes.

Well, in some places you can: “iTunes Tagging is currently available only in the U.S. on radio stations that support iTunes Tagging.” Hmm.

The built-in pedometer counts your steps everywhere you go. (Is that going to eat battery?) You can set daily walking goals, and the iPod will keep records in this neat calendar view.

    These features are useless. Who watches video on that bite sized screen?

    I think the video recording feature is made to record movies that you would like to upload onto Youtube and share with your friends.

    they has internal speakers to and u can easily make them louder but all in all there good ipods easy to use and the video is clear as crystali give it 9/10 because it dosent take photos but there better that the old 4th gen and the screen is bigger and that helps in the video dept and the sound is crisper.
