What reviews say:

'The 5G iPod is available in black or white, and its polished backside gently slopes in from the front of the player, so it glides into pockets.'

'The 5GB (well, it's not even 5gb, it's actually around 4.6gb) is just too small.'

'Not compatible with some old accessories.'

'The 2.5-inch screen that?s on the new iPod is capable of displaying photos and video at up to a 320x240 resolution, either on the iPod's own LCD or when output to a television.'
