The IPod classic is a very nice product this model has what I would call jet black plastic face and the back is shiny metal which is silver this makes it look sleek sexy and stylish

This iPod has never broken down on me neither has it failed me in any way yet with a long lasting battery and lots of memory for videos and a good screen for watching them with.

This is not my first iPod classic but it is one of the few apple products I have in my home there good products but I just haven't got round to getting a Mac yet.

I had and do still have my little iPod classic with a 60GB hard drive but sure enough I filled it up after a year or two even low I was told by the man at the store it would be all I would ever need.

So I bought a new one a bigger and better one then out came the iPods touch just a short time after I got the iPod now I will have to spend even more on it and so on.

The screen is tiny and it's an LCD screen I'm not sure of the exact size but it is quite large.

If you were to compare this version of iPod an iPod classic with the all new iPod touch it lacks in memory size at the moment the maximum is only 16GB around 144GB less than my iPod.

But it makes up for this with these features a scratch resistant touch screen and web browsing capabilities.

I got my iPod in jet black in The Carphone warehouse for £240 pounds but the price could have fallen since I got it. I have only had this iPod for a few weeks but it's pretty much the same as the 60GB model with the exception of the HDD being much larger at over 100 GB larger.

I have found it very useful so far for storing all my music and videos not to mention movies I was able to store a copy of a movie on my iPods and connect it to my TV and watch it I have to say it looked pretty good but still would look better through DVD.


Not only is the a great screen but if you really want you can purchase an TV cable so you can connect it up to the TV since its 80GB you can put movies on their easily and the picture quality is quite good.
The battery on this iPod can last up to 24hours on standby and seven hours of constant playback of videos or music.

I have an iPod classic in jet black which makes it quite easy to mark and it shows up badly making your new iPod quickly look old dirty and neglected.

If you are buying this as a gift for someone or just for you should think about giving them an iTunes gift cards.

These gift cards can easily be picked up in many stores for example even most supermarkets can supply them.

I myself never used them but have been told they are sold in the value of 15 and 25 pounds and so on.

If you don't need that much you could always get the 80GB iPod that's good but you never know when you need more.

ITunes can cost £2 per TV show if you want to put it on your iPod but there are places to get them free online.

Thanks to the music's industries no share policies iTunes has a feature where you cannot remove files from your iPod and if you even try to attach your iPod to a friend's computer and they have iTunes it will synchronise with that iTunes account and remove all the things already on there.

Luckily for some reason unknown to me iTunes and many other companies are cutting back on their sharing restrictions nowadays hopefully helping peer to peer networks and maybe someday they will allow that type of sharing on iTunes.

Unfortunately there is a just a little bit more bad news you cannot delete anything on the iPod on till you remove it from your iTunes gallery and plug your iPod into your computer and synchronise it put what's on your friends computer on your iPod .

If you own an iPod I'm sure you will agree that the worst thing about them is that when you take it out of the box first time is all shiny and new but within days is scratched and covered in sticky finger marks which make it all look very dirty.

Also if you are buying this as a gift for someone or just yourself you should consider adding in an iTunes gift card with it they are sold in many places.

I would also recommend you get a cover or case for the iPod as well to help stop it from getting scratched and dented I have a genuine leather case it lets you access the keypad charge he iPod use the hold switch see the screen and attach the headphones without taking it off.

So overall this is a good product with a lot of good features made by a good company. I will be considering buying more Macintosh systems from now on but they do have to get this product more scratch proof.
