Good Video but poor design [Posted on 2007-10-07]
The video is good, battery life is excellent, sound is satisfactory. But the exterior design of the unit is poor.Within few days dust gets deposited in the left and right part of the ipod docking station which is mesh like thing (cannot be seen in the picture) covering audio speakers and its very difficult to clean it. The unit is thick and heavy.
Great Product but NOT with the new iPod Classic [Posted on 2007-10-09]
I have loved my memorex iflip and have happily used it for over a year with my 5th generation 80GB. It has great sound, pretty good picture, consistent quality video, and a great battery life. I've been very happy with it and use it daily.
However, I just bought the new iPod classic 160GB. And found, when you dock the new iPod Classic, the iflip gets an error message (saying that TV out is selected, connect a video device). The problem is, that the iPod is connected to a video device (THE IFLIP) This is apparently a pretty common problem because Apple has kindly put a notice about the error message on their site, but indicates the fix is to connect a 30 pin AV connector to the ipod. Something that isn't possible with the Memorex because the built in dock IS the connection. So, now I have a great new ipod, and a great old iflip and a bunch of itunes videos I can't watch.
I'm afraid to buy another ipod video becuase of concerns over getting the same error message. And, I hate to get rid of a really great video player.
Great product but depends on the price [Posted on 2007-11-15]
I decided to try this out as the price dropped substantially ($200 to $79) and I really like watching movies/TV shows on my video ipod when traveling. The challenge has always been the battery life as the Ipod screen tends to kill the battery very fast.
Since I had a $50 Amazon certificate, I said what the heck. Many of the opinions prior such as it can be scratched easily, it's a bit difficult to open at first, and that stuff gets stuck in the speaker holes are all valid, ironically so as I thought those people were just very anal. Well, they are true but don't distract from the positives:
1. It lasts forever as you don't use the Ipod screen and I've read that this unit can go for over 8 hours of video. I've tried five at the most and it still was going.
2. It's a great travel companion as now I have portable speakers w/ my Ipod as well.
3. The quality of the video is as good as my old portable DVD player so I'm pretty happy with it.
Overall, I think $100 is a fair price and knowing what I know would purchase it again. Lastly, Amazon is the bomb...
Much better options out there [Posted on 2008-04-21]
I just bought this item and as soon as I saw the video quality, decided I should return it. If you aren't tech savvy and don't understand all the descriptions about the video quality, then this description should help you: it looks like watching a pirated movie. You know the type that you can buy off the street where some guy just took a camcorder into the movie theatre? That's what your dvd quality video will look like on this thing. So suffice to say - it looks awful. Its a shame really because I liked the build, the weight, the dual-earphone inputs - but overall, if you are getting this item its so you can watch your ipod videos on a bigger screen - and when you watch them on this screen you'll see how bad the image looks and instead squint your eyes and just stare at the ipod for two hours.
