Apple iPod (5th generation, late 2006) (2006)
The 5.5G refresh of the video iPod with 30 and 80 GB capacities and a brighter display.
The late 2006 iPod added 80 GB at $349 and cut the 30 GB model to $249. It also improved the display and battery. Collectors target it as the best 'iPod video' for storage mods because the 5.5G ran Rockbox and accepted flash replacements.
