As Advertised,

This review is from: iLuv i1255 Slim Desktop DVD Player and Dock for iPod (Black) (Electronics)
I've had my iLuv i1255for about a month now and I'm very pleased with it. I purchased it primarily to watch movies from my iPod (30 gig video)on my TV, and play DVDs, which it does just as advertised.It was super simple to set up and there have never been any problems integrating it with the iPod. I've had no problem navigating through the iPod using the unit's remote and the video quality when playing iPod movies is good. The unit is also very good as a simple DVD player, and I've had no trouble doing slide shows on the TV from my Kodak digital camera photos after dumping them to a CD. Music was not my main reason for buying the unit, but I've played just about every album and playlist on the iPod through the TV and have been pleased. I'm very satisfied with my purchase and believe it was money well spent.

Clever & Convenient,

This review is from: iLuv i1255 Slim Desktop DVD Player and Dock for iPod (Black) (Electronics)
This device is a convenient and reasonably priced product for iPod owners who do not own a high definition television but nevertheless want to view video from their iPods on their televisions. The player also contains a regular DVD player and is very easy to use. Buyers should be aware, however, that the iLuv remote control does not work with the iPod Touch. I was a little disappointed to learn this only after I purchased the iLuv but because I own other iPods (a Classic and a Nano), I was able to simply dock and use those ones instead.

50 % of time frozen, no "play all" option,

This review is from: iLuv i1255 Slim Desktop DVD Player and Dock for iPod (Black) (Electronics)
The iluv i1255 is full of bugs , it would freeze half the time just browsing the ipod , it would not let you "play all" the songs from a genre, artist, or play list. Does not skip forward video nor song, the DVD function are decent. I used a Ipod classic 80gb for this review
