Identification and Background
Released early October 2005, the fifth generation iPod, or iPod Video, shed the rounded styling of the fourth generation in favor of a flat front panel attached to a rounded metal rear case. The iPod Video was the first iPod to feature video playback as well as picture viewing. It was offered in sizes ranging from 30 to 80 GB.
