Massive storage capacity
Supports video and photos
The iPod Classic is just like the Video iPod
Only slimmer
Tougher
And injected with a more visually rich graphic user interface.
Lots of storage capacity; impressive battery performance; Genius playlist support; browse album and artist features; slightly brighter display; charges with FireWire connection.
Doesn’t include such cool new iPod nano features as accelerometer or spoken menus; those with large media libraries may mourn the loss of the 160GB classic.
Apple has done very little to improve the iPod classic with this iteration—that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It remains the iPod to own if you want to carry a lot of media with you. The Genius feature is a nice addition as is the ability to...

Despite large hard drives and batteries, outdated 2.5” screen and interface continue to fall behind Apple’s best devices in ease-of-use and quality of overall media playback experience, forcing users to pick between great screens or the hard d...

This text will be replaced The Apple iPod classic 120GB has become a political statement more than a music playing device. Its for users who wont give up the idea of taking their entire library, or a few good months worth of music at least, every ...

Abstract: Apple didnt make much of a fuss over the second-generation upgrade to their iPod Classic, but there are a few details worth noting. First off, Apple has discontinued their 80GB and monstrous 160GB models and now offers only a single version of the Cla...

Abstract: The iPod Classic 80 GB is surprisingly small, yet robust. This picture illustrates the size well: When I had the Sansa View, I found myself becoming an expert in fields I had no interest in, specifically MSC v. MTP modes, just so I could load music...
Abstract: The iPod nano may be cuter and the iPod touch cooler, but when it comes to bang for the buck, the iPod classic is a great bargain. It’s available in an 80GB (US$249) or 160GB ($349) that can hold 20,000 or 40,000 songs, respectively. 40,000 songs! T...
Abstract: I believe it was They Might Be Giants who once observed that just because a songs old, that doesnt mean its a classic. Theyre correct, of course, and far too many DJs and VJs and all other manner of Js make that mistake. Now, weve got a classic ...
Say so long to the scratch-prone plastic. Thinner than ever. Improved software interface. Excellent screen.
No power adapter. Previously bought games won’t sync. Time to buy a new case.
The iPod classic and the iPod nano are the best of their respective product lines ever released. Will you be lucky enough to get one this holiday season? We hope so. iPOD NANO
