No ipod controls!! Bulky!
| This device is much bulkier than it needs to be. But an even worse offence is that the device cannot control the ipod. The ipod plugs in to the back, and you have to turn the unit around to reach the back to operate the ipod. It is the most ridiculous thing when you have turned off the power to the video unit; then turn it around and find that the ipod is still playing and will continue playing forever unless you turn that off too. |

Great piece of gear
| I have had it for a few weeks, and I love it. Most of the time, it sits on my desk at work and I use it (rather than Itunes) to play music from my 30gig video iPod. The construction is solid, I have played a few DVD and one vcd That I made - and all ran fine. One nifty feature is the ability for it to simulate surround sound for different music types. One of the other reviewers lamented about poor video quality when using an iPod as the source. For those who were not aware of it, iTunes used to put out very shoddy videos, well under acceptable bitrate. About a month ago, this seems to have been resolved after all the complaints. You may have noticed the much bigger video files for TV shows for example. This is due to a higher bitrate (translation: Better quality) video. Just prior to writing this review, I tested an older video and a new one from last week with the new Higher bitrate. It made a huge difference in the quality of image on the device. If you are burning DVD to files for use, make sure to use a good bitrate, and you won't be disappointed. DVDs and CDs are very good. The device also will play burned disks of MP3 and WMA. The company website is at .i-luv. The manual is available there for download. It is available in both White and Black. Mine is Black. I am very happy with the i1055. - 27 Oct 06, Richard from Central Ohio. |

Do not buy this
| The screen is terrible when view movies through the iPod. Picture quality is really bad when compare to the iPod built-in screen. The DVD feature is OK. It does not play DivX which is a let down. If you are thinking of buying this unit for the iPod integration, you will be very dissapointed. Also, the unit itself is very thick and very hard to handle, though the picture cleverly hides the thickness of the thing. Great job iLuv's Photographer. DO NOT BUY ! |
