The unit shipped from Buy.com had a bad battery, so I contacted the manufacturer. It took almost 6 weeks, but I got the replacement battery and the product works great. The battery holds up for at least 3+ hours and works perfectly with my Ipod. I don't know if I'd pay $200 for it, but, for $39 it's a fantastic buy.

I had an older model of Sonic Impact's portable speakers for my iPod, but without the LCD screen. I absolutely loved it until, after 2 years use, the volume button no longer worked. Received a 6th generation, 80G Classic for Christmas and have been recording movies/podcasts on it. I loved the idea of being able to watch these videos on something portable so when the old one broke - took a chance on buying another Sonic Impact product and I haven't been disappointed! I already owned the Apple Composite AV cable ($49 - needed cable to watch iPod stuff on big TV), and the adapter that came with the V55 perfectly allows me to see my movies on the little screen. There is a very clear disclaimer on any of the sites carrying this product about Apple's software change requiring the cable. Since I got the V55 from Buy.com at an amazing sale price (AND fabulous customer svc) - for me the extra cost is well worth it. This is an awesome little gadget I take all around the house with me and in the car. Here's hoping this one lasts longer than 2 years! :)

I purchased this item from Buy.com when they were running an amazing sale price. What a steal!!! I have a 5th generation 60 gig black Ipod and it integrates flawlessly with the video player. The product does everything as described. The unit is well built with good fit and finish. Even comes with a compact remote that docks into the player and can be completely hidden. Another thoughtful item included was a felt carrying bag. Battery life is respectable. I'm hoping it'll improve after a couple of charge cycles. Sound is surprisingly good for the speaker size. My only gripe is that the resolution is not as good as I hoped but that may have more to do with the resolution that I ripped videos at. Another small issue is the color of the LCD screen. Even at the highest setting, colors overall were not that vibrant. With enough tweaking though I was able to get a pretty decent picture. At the price that it was purchased though I can't complain. I recently took it on a business trip and it was a joy to have on the plane. I'll never get on a plane again without this video player.

I'm very happy that my friend let me know about this deal because I'm not the type of person to go looking for things like this. I just recently purchased a refurbished 30G video iPod and I am lucky that it is compatible with this unit because I didn't pay attention to those details when I ordered it. I was expecting a low quality toy that you might find at a discount electronics store. I was totally surprised about what I actually received! First of all, how was it even possible for them to ship the unit for free? The item is so heavy that is must have cost at least $10 in shipping.Now, on to the unit. The screen was much bigger than I had anticipated (again, my inability to pay attention to the description). I was expecting something that was about twice the size of the screen on my iPod or about the same size of a PSP screen, but it is actually about half the size of laptop computer screen. I didn't know it was a chargeable unit and assumed that it ran on batteries (I've really got to work at paying attention). I was happy to see that it came with a car adaptor and wall charger. If I had any complaints, it would be nice to have the option of using batteries just for those times when your charge is depleted and you can't plug it into anything at the moment. The remote is nice also, although I don't see myself using it much. It also comes with a black velvet drawstring bag, but I'll probably purchase a carrying case for more protection and somewhere to put the accessories. The unit feels durable and has a nice, modern look to it. My black iPod blends in nicely when it is docked. I had a problem getting it to work at first because the manual doesn't mention anything about changing the settings on your iPod. I was impressed that the controls on the unit are actually touch sensitive and not actually buttons. My only worry is that they might quit working over time (and the remote will be the only means of controlling it). Only time will tell on that. I believe the picture quality is just fine, but then again, I never used it outside of a dark room. The sound out of the speakers is strong, but it seemed to weaken with the use of headphones. I have to turn the volume all the way up to watch a movie using headphones.

I can sympathize with those who bought this product to work with a newer iPod only to find it would not work. That said, for our older 30G iPod, this is the coolest thing since sliced bread! This is way better for us than dragging a pile of DVDs in the van when it's time for a long drive, and the quality is about even (and it's not as though the kids care that much about compression artifacts, which occasionally appear). I am most impressed by the quality and volume of sound from this device. I did not expect that kind of volume, leave alone the bass response. Mind you, this isn't THX we're talking about, but from a device this size that's WAY more sound than I would ever have guessed And the best part was that I got free shipping, and it still arrived THE NEXT DAY! (it shipped from near Dallas, and we're only 200 miles from there). Buy.com really impressed me this time.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I purchased this item since reviews had ran the gamut from exciting to alarming. However, for the price, I thought it was worth the gamble. I was PLEASANTLY SURPRISED! Some specs, I've used this with a 30gb 5th gen ipod video. Simple config changes on the ipod video setting (no additional h/w required) and voila - we're in business. I wish I had bought 2.
