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
Verdict: 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.

Title: Apple iPod classic
Pros: Touch wheel is very intuitive, menu additions are great, larger capacities
Cons: Still reliant on iTunes, sound quality could use a little work
Verdict: The iPod classic is relatively plain compared to the nano and touch, and so it may struggle to find a position in the market. However, the massive storage capacity should be enough to attract anyone who has found that the touch's flash memory just isn't e

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
Summary: For us, the newly renamed iPod classic is the quintessential iPod, and on sheer value alone, it blows every other iPod out of the water. At the per-gigabyte price of the original iPod, the 160GB model should cost an astonishing £11,168

Title: Apple iPod Classic
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.
