All About The Video iPod! »

At first, the new video iPod may appear wider to you than previous models. The wider screen and smaller touch wheel may be a surprise, but in reality, the video iPod is the exact same width as the models before it.

Enlarging the LCD from 2′ to 2.5′ has resulted in a great effect, along with the other change in the layout of a smaller scroll wheel from 41.67mm across to 38.10mm, which uses Apple’s own in-house scroll wheel design.

The redesign has affected the physical thickness too; the video iPod is about 39% thinner than the 40GB model and 28% thinner than the 10GB model. When you compare the video iPod to the old 40GB model, you really begin to appreciate the work Apple has done.

The rounded edges on the front and rear face in the previous models are gone – now the front face is dual layered, coated with a clear resin on top of the white plastic and completely flat. Now that a hard resin instead of a plastic cover covers the LCD, it has better protection against damage and the screen images are clearer.
