    iPod 5th Gen.

    Does anyone here have an iPod the 5th generation nano?

    I'd like to get one tonight. Either the red or blue. It's a birthday present for myself (from some of my money I got from my birthday last week - no one on RZ even knew.. )

    Are they good? I heard bad stuff, such as breaking, dead pixels on the screen.. etc.

    Also, downloading music from Limewire, is that legal if using for own use, and not sharing?

    And is the video camera any good? (and does that take actual pictures too? Or just videos?)

    My mum's got it, and the screen is of fine quality and so is the camera, surprisingly. Hasn't broken yet. She's had it for a few weeks now. Not sure about Limewire though, it if filesharing but who gives a damn. Be a rebel and break copyright laws!

    Sorry but I beg to differ. I sent you a happy belated birthday message

    Well the only bad thing that I have ever heard about the Ipod the 5th gen is that the picture quality is horrible but then again no other mp3 player has near as many features as this, I would go and buy it and buy a warranty in-case it does break or something unexpected happens.

    And as for the limewire, many people ask this same question - downloading copyrighted music is illegal copyright infringement if the creator hasn't given you a license to do so. No matter if it's for commercial or non-commercial use it's still illegal, and many people have been caught doing this but everyone still does it anyways. They supposedly catch you from downloading a song and getting your IP address and suing you, but limewire has so many downloaders I could see how difficult it would be to bust people.. And when they sue they hold you liable for thousands of dollars in statutory damages per infringment which in court can average out to around $2500 for every song that you have downloaded from limewire (of course without having a license from the song owner/creator).

    It's pretty crazy but it does happen.

    Re: iPod 5th Gen.

    I usually use FrostWire
    It is illegal, but rare to get cought
    but this girl did get cought with 20 illegal songs and got fined 10 G lol
    Also,
    If you do us Limewire/Frostwire and your account isnt pro,
    Do not download any file except MP3
    Because rest = Viruses :)
    Like ZIP, WAR = Viruses usually. MP3 Only ;)
    Have fun, also the Chrome is good, I have regular one without camera, had it for a year almost, its been good and I've dropped it alot :P

    Re: iPod 5th Gen.

    Thanks guys! I currently have 150$ from my birthday left over. I'm going to Walmart soon to check them out. I'm hoping my mom will lend me the other 30$ needed. I have a few jobs coming up in the week. :) (people hire me for work here)

    Thanks for the facts about it. I'd like even more though still. So any other opinions, please share, bad or good!

    Ah yes, thanks Aaron. :) The only one on Ragezone who wished me one. You're special!

    Wait, you're going to go buy yourself an iPod? Then make it an iPod Touch.

    Re: iPod 5th Gen.

    I want to know whether downloading music, packaged in a zip/rar file, is considerably risky. is it? Or would it be with the same policy applied to legal downloads?

    Sorry About Double Post!
    ZIP/RAR is a bit risky,
    Because some are viruses, well alot.
    Download MP3 only,
    Because last time I did Zip & War I got virus from one,
    Unless you have Pro.

    So what if the iPod Touch isn't $150, it's better value for money and is quite fun to play with when you're bored and have good apps.

    yes, I understand. besides, I know that.

    I want to know whether there is a conceivable risk of being caught of downloading zip files with copy-right protected Mp3s.

    I'd grab an iPod Touch, it's a lot better and beside, it's only like 20$ more? You get a lot of fun application with it too like Tap Tap Revolution :D

    Go for the touch. A friend bought the new ipod and the camera is useless to him.

    If you have a separate camera or anything actually designed to take pictures and videos then its going to be better. Get the touch if you want a new ipod.

    Sorry Mike, Happy Birthday.
    Downloading from Limewire is illegal, because your not paying for the song.
    I'd rather just listen to music on streaming websites.

    First of all, happy birthday ^^.
    and yeh, Ipod Touch > Ipod Nano 5G.

    My friend showed me a video he made with the Ipod, and I must say, it sucks. Your choice anyway.

    Re: iPod 5th Gen.

    ive had my touch for nearly a year now, very satisfied.


    only had 1 problem, but apple fixed it very easily and with no hassles.


    originally had an 8gb 1st gen touch, but about 8months after i bought it, it developed some dead pixels on the screen. sent it to apple, they gave me a brand new 2nd gen 16gb one :p so im happy

    Re: iPod 5th Gen.

    I got my iPod two days ago.

    So far, it's been so great. It's a nice blue 16GB 5th Gen.

    Thanks for the comments. It's been treating me great so far though.

    Haha Ron.

    I had a touch, and am using an iPhone, must say, its pretty nice. Easier to get back on RZ (I has no life).

    Anyways, sorry to get off topic.

    Glad you're enjoying the iPod. A touch would've been nice, but only if you planned on using internet and apps and such. If you just want to listen to music, the iPods obviously the winner here.

    the touch would still be a better choice imo. cheaper for more space without the useless, low-quality camera. :P

    oh, and you get badass apps and shit yeah

    touch is better, especially because they updated the hardware to the iphone 3gs's in the new gen 32 and 64gb models :)
