Title: Apple iPod Classic
Pros: Huge storage (who really has 40,000 songs?) ; Good value ; Anodised aluminium front feels like quality ; Video and photos are bright and clear ; Interface looks even slicker than ever ;
Cons: marred by hard disk lag issues ; Sound quality still, at best, mediocre ; Cover Flow a case of form over function ; New accessories required for video out ;

Pros: Touch wheel is very intuitive, menu additions are great, larger capacities
Cons: Still reliant on iTunes, sound quality could use a little work

Cons: May not work with old iPod docks, CPU is a bit under-powered for what's expected of it, Past its prime?

Title: Apple iPod classic 80GB
Pros: Phenomenal value, Redesigned interface, Three bundled games, Very good audio
Cons: Must re-buy purchased games, May not work with some accessories
Verdict: Apple has annoyed us with its legacy support for games and accessories, but it's still superb

Pros: Bright, clear screen ; excellent battery life, improved user interface, includes three new games, sounds as good as previous full-sized iPod ; attractively priced with good price per GB ;
Cons: Sluggish interface and unresponsive controls, incompatible with many existing dock-connector accessories, can't use previously purchased games, Cover Flow not terribly helpful ;

Title: Apple iPod Classic | Our Review | TechRadar UK
Pros: Elegant and easy to use ; Superb value ; Simple interface ;
Cons: Small screen ; Format restrictive ;

Title: Gadgets That Keep Going and Going and Going
Pros: Tons of storage. Improved interface. "Classic" iPod controls. Easy navigation.
Cons: Cover Flow is a bit slow. Bundled earbuds aren't great.
Verdict: As its name suggests, not much has changed on the iPod classic-it looks a little different on the outside, and there's a useful, but not radical, interface update. The big news is the massive capacity upgrade.
Summary: Meet the new iPod. It looks familiar, huh- That's because Apple's iPod classic is essentially a replacement for the iPod video, or fifth-generation iPod. The main improvement here is storage space-what was once a 30GB or 80GB player now comes with ...

Title: Apple iPod classic (2nd gen)
Pros: Huge capacity ; great sound quality ; support for high-quality audio and video formats ; decent screen ; integration with iTunes for music, movie and TV show downloads ; heaps of accessories available ; sturdy design ;
Cons: Only one capacity option ; lacklustre EQ options ; weaker battery life compared with previously available classic ;
Verdict: 120GB of storage and the addition of the Genius feature, makes up for the slightly reduced battery life over the previous model, reaffirming the iPod classic as our favourite portable audio player on record
Summary: Apple's done it again -- its new 120GB iPod classic is a cut above the rest. This edition has more features, such as the Genius playlist tool, and allows you to watch very high-quality video on its 640x480-pixel resolution screen. As with all iPods, ...

Cons: but marred by hard disk lag issues ; Sound quality still, at best, mediocre ; Cover Flow a case of form over function ; New accessories required for video out ;
Verdict: Although we're pretty certain that Apple will get around to fixing the hard disk lag issue in the future, it's a pretty obvious bug to overlook and mars Apple's reputation for ease-of-use and design panache. Also distressing is the video out issue, ...

Title: Apple iPod classic 2G review

Summary: Lacking the wide-screen wonder and connectivity of the iPod touch and the 4G iPod nano's gee-whiz accelerometer and shake-to-shuffle feature, the iPod classic doesn't feel new or innovative. Rather, it's a tested and reliable way to carry around your ...

Title: Product Reviews: Apple iPod Classic
Pros: Huge storage space, a sleek design
Verdict: A classic tribute to what has become a tech gadget of classic proportions
Summary: The word €˜classic€™ may make one think of sports cars, the classical musician Mozart and Ancient Greek mythology. But what happens when the word €˜classic€™ is associated with a gadget that became a world-wide phenomenon only a few years ago?

Title: iPod classic
Verdict: The classic remains the only real option for music fans for whom audio fidelity is the chief concern, and for that reason, if no other, we hope that it remains in the iPod line-up for years to come
Summary: It's regrettable, then, that those same people will have to budget for a decent pair of earphones, as the ones supplied with the classic are the same as those with other iPods and don't do the player or the music any justice whatsoever
