It comes in several different colors. The one I actually got for my birthday came in black and since then my -- the next birthday I actually got this skin which has the logo of the Tennessee Tightens which is my favorite football team. Both were given to me by my fianc e so thank you. But it comes in several different colors and I d wanted the slick black design so that's the one that I got originally. So now I have -- if ever I wanna take this off I had just a nice slick design and if it's purchased through Apple you can't see it but it can become engraved right about here. It says my name and the birthday that I was celebrating which -- unfortunately it's covered up but she knew that one she was getting me the skin so that's okay. One day I'll take this off and they will still be there. Originally I just want an iPod for the music and I didn't think that I really wanted the new iPod and then she went looking and found the size that I want it about 30 gig. They didn't make just the street music iPods anymore. So she purchased to make the long story short she purchased the video iPod for me and honestly that is the best thing because on my lunch break at work I can just sit back and watch a TV show that I purchased from iTunes. For instance right now I have the daily show playing and as you can see there it is showing up. It's one of my favorite shows. So that's the really cool thing about the iPod is you can purchase movies or download over at iTunes. If you wanna go a sort other way you can get anything and put it on your iPod which I am not condoning at all. And then it has you know 30 gigabyte space so you can put a lot of TV shows few movies and a lot of music on here. It's a really great tool and I love -- I plug it into my car. I have an adopter that plays through the FM radio and I can listen my music in the car. I can listen to podcasts which I've come to love I never heard of before I got iPod but I've come to love those. And also it has photo capabilities which I don't ever use I guess I could but I never put any kind of photos on here but it does take them and they actually show really well. That s a really nice screen for video. The picture comes out really clear for such a small screen and you can also download some games of from iTunes. Right now I just have free demos got the Ms. Pacman the more that I put on her because I m true [0:02:56.5] to actually buy games for it. The control unfortunately and it's that slide pad the round slide pad thing and it doesn't do too great for certain games but it works out pretty well. As you can see here's Ms. Pacman going around. I can t see it to all the control but that's Pacman her Mrs. Pacman. So there are obviously newer iPod out there. This is a few years old now. Been have the new iPod phone iPod touch that you can buy iPod phone iPhone are old. but they have the newer iPod touch is which have bigger memory and they're faster but this is the one I have and I love it. And I probably won't get rid of it until the day that it crashes and doesn't work anymore. The only [0:03:57.2] about it and it's not even really a great about the machine itself is that it comes with the little ear buds that don't ever stay on my ears so I always have to go buy different headphones like I have this here that kind of clip around the ear instead of you know just this part which always folds out. So that's the only issue that I have with it. But other than that it's a great invention. I don't know how I ever lived without iPods before and I certainly couldn't now. So I love it. I give it 5 out of 5 stars definitely.
