The world's most popular music player gives you lots more to love. This new 80 GB iPod holds up to 7,500 songs, up to 100 hours of video, up to 25,000 photos, or a combination of each, filling your pocket with sounds and sights.

The new iTunes Store makes it easy to discover music, movies, TV shows, games, audiobooks, and podcasts. To get everything into your pocket, just connect iPod to your Mac or PC, and iTunes transfers your music and more in one seamless sync.

Finders Keepers

Finding and playing music on iPod is simple. Use the Click Wheel to adjust volume, navigate songs, or browse the Music menu by artist, composer, album, song, genre, or playlist. Want to mix things up? Click Shuffle Songs. iPod makes your music look as good as it sounds, thanks to its big, bright color display. Album art appears alongside your songs in the Now Playing screen, so you see your music as you play it. After all, iPod loves music as much as you do. With up to 20,000 songs on your 80 GB iPod, you need an easy way to search and enjoy your collection. A brand-new, built-in search function lets you use the Click Wheel to type out the name of the song, artist, album, audiobook, or podcast you're looking for, and your iPod returns results instantly as you select letters.

Video Madness

Now you can watch a movie while waiting in line for tickets to one. Download movies (fees charged, not included) from the iTunes Store, then sync them to your iPod to watch anywhere, anytime. The iPod's gorgeous display--now 60% brighter--makes your movies pop. And thanks to improved video playback time, your 80 GB iPod keeps you entertained for up to 6.5 hours; or even longer if you reduce brightness using the new brightness control. There's always something good on iPod. Browse thousands of episodes of your favorite TV shows (fees charged, not included) on the iTunes Store, then sync them to your iPod. Watch last night's episodes this morning, or buy a whole TV series and play a pocket-size marathon. All your TV episodes display in order, so you can navigate them easily. Every episode you buy from iTunes is optimized to look great on the iPod's crystal-clear, 320 x 240 pixel display.

Your Capacity May Vary, But It's Way Big!

iPods hold up to 25,000 photos (actual capacity varies with content) you can sync from your Mac or Windows PC via iTunes. Use the Click Wheel to scroll through photo thumbnails the same way you scroll through song titles. To see a photo full-screen, click the center button. You can even view photo slideshows--complete with music--on iPod or on a TV via the optional iPod AV Cable (not included). Select Slideshow Settings, choose the transition effect and music, then start the show.

Lions And Tigers And Bears (Well, Actually Podcasts And Audiobooks And Games)

The iTunes Store features thousands of free podcasts--radio-type shows you subscribe to--including indie favorites and offerings from such big names as ABC News, Comedy Central, ESPN, PBS, NPR, and many more. Browse and subscribe to podcasts, then sync them to your iPod and listen anytime. Even video podcasts sync to go. And all your podcasts appear in their own menu on your iPod, so you can navigate them easily. The digital shelves of the iTunes Store are stocked with thousands of audiobooks (fees charged, not included), including such exclusives as the entire Harry Potter series. Download what you want, sync to your iPod, and catch up on your reading. Browse audiobooks in their own menu on your iPod. iPod automatically recognizes where you left off reading and bookmarks your place. You can even change the reading speed to suit you - perfect for, say, learning a new language. Now that the iTunes Store features iPod games (fees charged, not included), you can keep hours of fun at your fingertips. Download brand-new and classic games, including Bejeweled, Texas Hold 'Em, Vortex, Mahjong, Mini Golf, PAC-MAN, Tetris, and Zuma, then sync them to your iPod and play along with your music. All iPod games from the iTunes Store are designed specifically for this fifth-generation iPod. And all of them look great on its 2.5-inch color display.

Season To Taste

Customize menus, check capacity, change your language, change how your iPod sounds, and more, all from the Settings menu. Click About to see how many songs are on your iPod and how much room you have left. Click Main Menu to select what items appear in your Main Menu. Tweak the built-in equalizer. Or set a maximum volume limit. Everything you need to personalize your iPod--from the backlight timer to clicker sound effects--appears in Settings.

Spin the Click Wheel to choose a four-digit combination and protect your iPod from prying eyes. If you forget your combination, you can reset it at your next sync. Or use the built-in Stopwatch to log your best times. When it's finally time to play, the Extras menu lists all your games, including the ones you can buy from the iTunes Store.

Keeps On Going And Going And Going . . .

With all that music at your fingertips, you may never want to stop listening. Lucky thing your 80 GB iPod plays audio for up to 20 hours from a full charge. Or, if you'd rather watch, you can feast your eyes on movies and TV shows for up to 6.5 hours (full charge). And speaking of charging, iPods charge through USB or FireWire to a computer or optional power adapter (not included). A full charge takes about four hours; a fast charge, up to 80% capacity, takes only about two hours.
