First off I want to say I love the Black, it is great so much better than the white IMO, I know people have complained about how the black shows scratches but I would rather take the sexiness of the black over the ability to possible hide some scratches and since I am going to be getting a skin as soon as I can so I know I will not be having too many scratches. Good place for a screen protector is http://www.theinvisibleshield.com/
It does come with this little pouch thing, it reminds me of a moccasin, and it fits the ipod like a glove, it does a great job even if you don't want to spend money on a skin. It is also much thinner than a 3rd gen, which is what I had before, so my old skin does not work.
I started it up changed my settings to where I like them, and plugged it into my computer. Moving my songs over took longer than I thought it would granted I have a lot of songs 3000+ but I also think it might be the USB connection, even though firewire 400 and USB2 are about the same firewire with it's higher sustained rate is better for huge file systems or thats always been my thought. Anyway after moving my music and some videos and I plugged it into my TV to see just how well I could play the video.
Overall it was pretty good, I only had trailers sitting around that were in the right format but if you have quicktime pro or iMovie HD or final cut, you can convert pretty much any video but it might take some time for a full movie.
One bad thing I found out right off and I was hopping would not be the case is this is a totally redesigned ipod and as such almost all past generation accessories will not work, itrip, italk, iremote, all do not work because they need the two plugs on the top where this new ipod only has one on the right side. Something that does work is my wall charger, even though it is firewire with a plug it still charges which is nice. Oh yeah the Belkin Tunecast II FM transmitter works because it only has one plug.
For music I got about 12.4 hours with the volume at 75% maybe a little higher, I bet I could get more if I lowered the volume but I was on a plane and stuff when testing it so I had to keep it up that high. I will be testing it in everyday conditions with the volume around 50%....For video it lasted 140 minutes which is about 2.2 hours the volume was as high as it could get because I was on a plane. I tried it for about 5 of those minutes in just a regular room with people and I only had to have the volume at 45%. Pretty sure if you kept it at that you might be able to get 3 hours.
One thing I do miss from my 3rd gen is the illuminated buttons.....maybe Apple could make the scroll wheel illuminated or something for the 6th Gen. Still it is an amazing little device and I love it. I took some pictures if anyone wants to see click on the links below:

IPOD 5th Generation
Ok so this isn't exactly one of those rediculous PMP's yet. But The iPod isn't about what's on the paper. It can't record voice or tv or anything like that. It can't play full movies comfortably on it's 2.5 inch screen. It also can't make you a pot of coffee or tuck you into bed at night. So what?
If you want to put some music videos or short commedy clips to share a laugh with friends on it, or throw some pictures so you can show how you broke you arm in a crash, then this works great. It's original design, remember, is music. not a full computer replacement.
The 80GB is big, and not many people I know have enough time to fill that, let alone listen to 80 GB of music or movies. It's small in size, making it easier than a brick to take around. Controls are always great, and no cumbersome buttons are around to find. It's a uniform machine.
Gapless playback it wonderful. It's smooth and crates a wonderful listening experience, especially with Pink Floyd's The Wall. 20 hours of battery life is just fine, as I can charge it up almost every night, after maybe 5 hours of listening a day, 6 hours tops. I'll get a power adapter so I can charge it on the road. No personal EQ, unfortunately, but that doesn't mean that the music sounds bad. It still is crisp and clean.
Video is good, but remember, it's not made for long movies yet. I got a portable DVD player that is 10 inches, and is much better than a little 4 inch screen on a PMP. And dealing with DVD copywrights and all are a pain, so keeping it simple here is what it's all about. And who takes bunches of cords around with them for recording a tv show???
They have iTunes, which helps the artists make a deserving profit off of what they make for everyone, everyday. Pirating is a problem, and apple has helped the industry a lot. That may seem bad, but music is what I use everyday, and have no problem paying a few bucks for it.
I used to HATE iPod as many still do, but after going through iRiver, iAudio (which I still like), archos, samsung, and creative, iPod seems to just work.
