What Are Fifth Generation iPods?
A fifth generation (5G) iPods was the first iPod model with video playback. It was also the second full aesthetic redesign of the original. Facts Videos could be downloaded to the iPod 5G using iTunes software (Release 6.0). It could also play television shows commercial-free.

Other major features included a 2.5-inch 320X240 QVGA screen (upgraded from a 2.0-inch screen), a smaller click wheel, video playback in MP4 and H.264 and a choice of color scheme (i.e., white or black).
