Take the last generation's top-spec iPod, and swap 40GB/80GB capacities for 80GB/160GB without upping the price.Then add a boosted audio output, an even neater interface and a slimmer, all-metal finish. What's not to like about the new iPod Classic?With t...

When Apple announced that it was bringing out a 160GB iPod all other MP3/PMP manufacturers must have dropped a brick. Apple subsequently cut the Classic down to 120GB, which would have pleased them a little, but that still holds a whopping 30,000 songs...

Other manufacturers appear to have given up on hard disk-based MP3 players, but not Apple. The latest iPod Classic has a huge 160GB capacity, yet it's no thicker than three £1 coins thanks to its single-platter 1.8in hard disk. You might think the...

Apple iPod Classic is the first of a series of iPods which eventually branched out to iPod nano, iPod touch, iPod shuffle, and, of course, the iPhone. All iPod Classics have a 1.8-inch hard drive used as storage, with memory capacity varying from 5 GB...

New York? Pah! This is the Big Apple! The iPod Classic comes in at a morbidly-obese 120GB.That’s enough for 30,000 songs and 150 hours of video - or one Kevin Costner movie. It’s called the Classic because it retains the original iconic design...
As good as the Classic is, it isn’t perfect. While the Cover Flow system is a touch of class, it doesn’t move as fluidly as the Flash-based Touch and nano, and menus aren’t as free-flowing. It’s also a little bit of bloater, but th...
It’s like Apple’s shoved the iPod from six years ago in a cryogenic chamber, gutted its innards, and shoved in a whopping great 120GB hard drive. Fantastic for people afraid of change or who have more songs than sense. Apple iPod Classic is ta...

If capacity is your prime concern, the iPod classic is the one to own. But it’s not flawless. Yes, the interface is slicker and sometimes more helpful, but ultimately it’s no easier to find and play your music on this iPod than it is on a 5G i...

The name suggests more of the same but with more space and better value. Hard disk lag issues, video out controversy and just okay sound stop it from being a true classic though.

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.

The iPod Classic is just like the Video iPod, only slimmer, tougher, and injected with a more visually rich graphic user interface.

The iPod Classic is just like the Video iPod, only slimmer, tougher, and injected with a more visually rich graphic user interface.
Video output now requires a proprietary cable; audio quality has not improved; some older iPod video accessories may not be compatible; users are required to use the latest version of iTunes, which may not work on some older computer systems.
The iPod Classic is a refinement of the formula that put the iPod on the map. Few can match its combination of storage capacity, battery life, and advanced user interface.
