Apple 160 GB iPod classic

Great!!!!
160 GB for 300 dollars!!!! come on that is great for this day and age. It is like having a computer in your pocket. It is made very sturdy and is way to easy to use and load up with movies and music. The screen has great resolutioin and controls are great.

Good and Bad
Ok The Ipod Classic’s are a step forward and a step back. First Apple purposely disabled the video out feature unless you use their cables. This is all for more Dollars which for how much these things cost and the money they make off them is just ridiculous. I have had several problems with this new Ipod from syncing errors to general data issue’s I bought one of the first released so I believe it had to do with that since I got that unit replaced it has been fine. The Cover Flow is neat I don’t know why people complain about it if you don’t like it don’t use it. So the good with the new Ipod models would have to be the space and then the cover flow feature which I like. The Negative points are as always - apple, their customer service, and the disabling of the video out for third party devices - just underhanded. It is still a great device so if you are not to upset about having to spend 50 dollars on cables than it will be a good bet for you.

Apple 80 GB iPod classic

A happy new IPOD user
Easy to use and looks good. The cover flow is a nice feature, and I find with 15 or so CDs imported (since getting it a few days back) it works speedily i.e. no delay in the artwork appearing. I have a silicon cover and this has a thin film covering the click wheel. It works well. The clarity of video playback is great.
I find the equalizer is best off (not one EQ setting seems to enhance the sound in the way I like), but apart from that it seems a wonderfully designed music player. I give 4 rather than 5 stars because I am never keen on products which do not allow you to change the battery.
Finally, Amazon have a good price on it.

The iPod classic features an updated design on the digital media player you already know and love. Some of the new bits include a sleek all-metal enclosure, a massive increase in storage space, a thinner body, and a brand-new user interface featuring Cover Flow. Cover Flow allows you to easily browse through your music collection by flipping through each album’s cover art using the Click Wheel. When you find the album you want, you can flip it over for the track listing. Just like you’d do with a real CD or vinyl.
