iLuv i1255

$70.00 Released January, 2008

The Pros:Initial setup is quick and easy - most users will have the unit up and running within 5 minutes. Remote control peripheral is very convenient - enables fast, accurate browsing of video content from the user's iPod. Supports CD content in addition to DVDs - users can load audio and picture files onto a blank disc for playback on a home entertainment system.

The Cons:Remote browsing is not available on iPod Touch and iPhone models - may prevent some users from purchasing the unit. May freeze during browsing and playback - several users report bug issues when attempting to select and view video content. DVD player is noisy and may eventually encounter performance issues - many users are forced to perform a hard reset every time content is paused or stopped.

The iLuv i1255 is a DVD player with iPod connectivity released in early 2008. Announced at CES of the same year, this device is compatible with the iPod touch, iPod nano (3rd gen) and iPod with video. Aside from watching DVDs with the iLuv i1255, consumers can play video and audio content from their iPods via the included remote control and on-screen display.
