If anyone wants to know, it will be better to get the black Ipod video because it will make the picture look better. White has a tendency to trick your eyes and wash out some of the picture. Dont believe me? Seen any white tv sets? It will be better on the colors if you choose the black one although the white one is cool too. Just make sure you get a good case! BTW- If you go to your local office supply store you can buy those little PDA screen protectors and they will work great for covering the screen. .02
I've heard a lot of bull in my time, but come on! the colour of the ipod has no reflection whatsoever on the 'picture'...and if it does, it's hardly enough to justify getting a different colour one, not on a titch screen like that...
Ever heard of the Imaging Science Foundation? No? Well then I guess before you say something is not correct check out the facts. According to them the color of the stucture that surrounds the picture has alot to do with the way the eye can see colors. If you have a white case the blacks and greyscale wash out and can produce artifacts in the picture while the overall sharpness can suffer. For the best picture quality you need to have a dark grey or black enclosure to ensure that the blacks and greyscale is correct. This is a direct quote from Steve Dela who is considered to be one of the top dogs in the industry: Closing Comment on the Eye The eye is not a perfect machine thus the reason for a sensor. But the sensor isn't perfect either. Below 20-IRE most sensor measurements should be avoided. The sensors are not able to see low luminance light and in addition, outside light will virtually corrupt any real measurement even if it could. Grayscale calibration is best complete using both the eye and a sensor. What's interesting is that our eye sees variations of color extremely well and in most cases, better than sensors. But it does not see details in color very well. In addition, the eye sees detail in black and white extremely well, but not variations in black & white. For example, when viewing the 100-IRE (white) window, you can literally double the output (12000K) and not really notice much of a difference in brightness. Oh, dont know what all that means? Then I guess you should bite me loud mouth.
you said it! everone sees things differently. the range difference in peoples' eyes is phonomenal. this is your first explanation....why didn't you show us some of the facts from the very start? hmmm.... nope. anyroad, im done with this one. if your point was technically correct, then apologies. =) This is obviously your specialist subject, so i'll leave you to it. im not flamin' with anyone anymore. if you want to address the situation again, send me a PM.
I agree. Frankly, the white distracts my eyes from the video. It literally hurts my eyes. Either way here, http://www.decalgirl.com/browse.cfm/2,204.htm Scroll through and see what you like! And it wont peel off the original color!
Hi, im about to trade in my 20gig photo for the new one. Just wondering if the front of the video ipod is made of the same material used on nano?
Okay guys, if you own and ipod and its white, then we all know how easy it is to get it strach if you dont have a case, you could just have it in your pocket,and the next time you look at it a new strach appears. So if you dont own a case, or just like to keep your ipod out the case to show it off or something i suggest getting a black ipod. Therefor the straches want appear on them as much as the with one. I wish i would of thought of this befor i ordered one!
auctually he is not lying i just saw a apple ipod nano at the local apple store and i found out that the white is a real pain in the a*** becuase the screen ends up with tons of glare from the white while the black one sitting next to it didn't have any and i could see everything so there is some truth to this not a hole lot of truth but some very conveincing findings
You know what though? Apple has a knack for making their colors shiny. So even if you get black, you get some glare. Thats why im just getting some type of skin for it, a flat skin.
no offence to any1, but why get it, i mean, are u seriously going to sit on the bus and watch a movie, why get a psp aswell? you could use that for the same thing realy and play games. im not getting any of them, the psp will be like the gameboy, and ipods suck (no offence 2 ipod lovers) i just dont see why every1 gets it because of the name, rather than getting a zen touch for example, the ipod mini has 6gb, zen 20gb, ipod mini costs £180, zen costs £140. and who cares what it looks like, its in your pocket most of the time. this is the reason i posted == my m8 has a white tv, and the picture is very nice !!thecraigc!!
I don't know, i mean, i really love movies, but i dont like the hassle of dvd players sometimes. So i figure that i could just get the Ipod Video and hold it all in my pocket. Ive been waiting for something like that. I Don't really like the psp because they are focusing more on UMD Films than games. It's a little sad. But as for ipod video, i like it.
I have a second generation ipod mini and a panasonic d-snap which is a camera, voice recorder, takes mini video clips, and is an mp3 player with a 1gb sd card that I've purchased. I would like to sell these 2 devices for a 30GB white iPod Video. Does any1 know where I can sell them except ebay?
