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

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...
Abstract: Apples 120GB iPod Classic is one of only three portable players here with a hard disk instead of flash memory. Despite this, it did very well in our battery tests. It lasted nearly 42 hours in our audio test, and eight hours and 34 minutes in our ...

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...
Abstract: Worthy successors to the iPod name. The hard disk iPod is better than ever. The legendary white iPod is no more. In its place is a slimmer brushed aluminium model, in silver or black, known as the iPod classic. Unlike Coke Classic, its even better t...
Abstract: Both players have their strong points, but the best feature remains the simple interface and excellent design. The iPod touch might be the one grabbing headlines, but Apple has given the entire iPod range a thorough shake-up. Theres no longer any suc...
Abstract: With dimensions of 103.5 x 62 mm, the Classic is certainly a reasonable size for an mp3 player. It’s quite thin, particularly the 80 GB version, with a thickness of 10.5 mm (fully 3 mm less than the 160 GB version). The 80 GB model is also lighter, weig...

Apple doesnt make a specifically prescribed video player, but this hot-off-the-presses new generation of its flagship portable is the closest. With the entry-level capacity now 80Gb, and the top end a seemingly impossible 160Gb (more than most new lap...

New main menu UI; have to use iTunes; navigation can be slow at times
Apple has not only exceeded our expectations, its exceeded ones we didnt even have. The iPod classic is a superb audio player with a huge wealth of well-integrated features and intuitive navigation. Our only real concern is that menus can be laggy. ...
My hands-on time with the new iPod classic left me with a largely positive impression. Its less exciting than the nano in terms of its new appearance and fewer major feature upgrades. However, two of those improvements - considerably better battery l...
