Just imagine that you can stuff 1000 pieces of CD in a small packet and able to listen to musics wherever you are.

The new Apple iPod 80gb comes with a 2.5 inch of color lcd display and it weight about 156 grams. Compare to its predescessor it has a brigther color display and is able to store more music as well as photo and video files. No drastic improvement actualy.The Apple iPod 80gb is able to play song for 20hrs when fully charged, photo-6hrs, and video 6.5hrs. It uses build-in rechargeable lithium ion battery. User can choose to charge via USB or Firewire or using a power adapter.Compare to any mp3 player in the market this mp3 is more durable.
