After reading all the reviews I could find online, I thought this would be a perfect solution for a work related application. I have a 5th generation 30GB video iPod, a model which their website claims it supports. My first purchase turned out to be a dud or so I thought and I exchanged it for another. Only after I called their customer support did I find out that the 5th gen 30GB video iPod is not supported. Not yet at least and that a new firmware is needed and is being worked on and will be released SOMETIME next year. Needless to say, I'm EXTREMELY annoyed that nothing like this has been stated by the company in ANY way.

This product is a really cool idea, but I was unable to use it upon arrival. Little did I know when I purchased it is that the 80 gig ipod does not fit. Its quite a downfall despite the great concept, but I had to sell mine since I couldn't use it.

Based on this, I had high hopes for the iSee 360i and was perhaps one of the first ones to get this item and try it out. I may be the ONLY one so far, because as of this date I couldn't find a single other mainstream review. Now I may know why: it's a complete dud. I could not get it to work in the slightest with my 60GB video iPOD. Depending on the iPOD you have, there are adapters that must be ordered seperately, because quite unbelieveably, they are not included. To add further insult to injury, the instructions are vague and did not make clear (at least to me) which iPOD should be used with this unit without having to order adapters. Needelessly to say, I returned it almost immediately. I would defintely say that the iSee is not ready for Prime Time!

The iPod isn't just for music anymore. The iSee turns an iPod into a complete media device. The demo model that I used allowed me to download videos (from any source) and photos onto the large iPod hard-drive, and the software used to manage the video was simple to use. In addition, the iSee's larger battery actually fed the iPod thereby extending the run time of the device.

This device will be a hit.

software must be too old for systems like W Vista--iTune up dates will not allow use of software Edition 1.7 May 4 2006--Oh!! *ell! Buyer(s) beware--

PRODUCT IS NOT COMPATABLE WITH VIDEO IPODS. THAT IS THE TARGET MARKET. SHOULD NOT BE SOLD.

According to company literature, this device supports 5G iPod (with Video). After receiving it as a gift, however, I have since learned that it does NOT support 5G iPods with video. I feel cheated by the Company - if their product is not compatible with the devices they state it is, they should make it clear before anyone buys it. Absolutely atrocious behavior. Save your money for a company that deserves it.

Great new product! Easy to use and turns my audio ipod into a portable media player. I can even use it to record my favorite tv shows. I highly recommend this product.

I thought , what a great idea - and would have been if it worked,
there was no mention of needing adapters, that should have been a given.
I loaded the software on THREE ,countum, THREE computers and could not
get the product to work on any of the ,THREE ipods i tried.
I just received the error WAITING ON IPOD TO MOUNT on the nano
the other two ,it didn't see them at all.

THIS PRODUCT iSEE 360i IS LOADED WITH PROBLEMS FROM START TO FINISH

The only thing i accomplished was a HEADACHE !

Please save your money.

Love my nano...didn't need an iPod video for music, didn't like the small screen anyway...saw the iSee on iLounge a while back...liked the idea of recording TV content, storing on my nano and playing on a decent screen...finally got one last week...using TiVO to record World Cup matches, replaying on TV out to my nano...then on my iSee...got a lot of looks on my last plane flight!...wish I could set a timer to record...that feature should be in the next product...
