...to the increasing line of apple mp3 players. What are the differences? What does it sound like? Is is durable? How much does it cost? These are just some of the questions I will hopefully answer in this review. Right then, on with the show.
----------What Is An Ipod Classic?----------
An ipod classic is the flagship model and latest addition to Apple's mp3 player market. It was released in the fourth quarter of 2007 and is technically the 6th ...

Advantages: Easy navigation, clear large screen, huge capacity, great looking, excellent value for money Disadvantages: iTunes a little annoying, dodgy earphones
...order it off the official Apple website - it's exactly the same price
(£159.00) from Apple as it is from other stores such as Argos or Currys, and you can get an engravement written
on the back of it completely free of charge. Despite saying it could take up to almost 2 weeks to arrive, it came
three days later in perfectly good condition. HOWEVER, if you are going to order it for someone's birthday, it
goes without saying that you order it well ...

...photo viewer I think that Apple have gone too far.
Apple have developed a niche since the iPod is more than an MP3 player but not quite a fully blown multi media player. The iPod has become a bit of a middle-man.
My 20gb iPod was getting a bit tatty and whilst it had served me well it had taken quite a lot of abuse and was getting tired. It was time for an upgrade but I was confused what to buy.
There are so many MP3 players on the market ...

Advantages: Good build, decent sound, lots of storage. Disadvantages: Sound limiting, doesn't convert movies to MP4
...this for you. Shame on Apple for not including the necessary software that's needed to actually use your iPod's to it's fullest.
The iPod itself is if solid construction but it's a little heavy compared to other MP3/4 players. I suppose it's due to it being made of aluminium and not tacky plastic. The screen is very clear and has about 10 levels of brightness. Battery life is quite good and I managed to watch two movies and a couple of hours of ...

Advantages: Great Flexibility, Ease Of Use Disadvantages: Easily Dented, Battery Life
Ipod classic is the latest model in the Ipod family and unlike the Ipod's multi-touch screen this model stick to the same scrool wheel navigation as previous ipods.
The dimensions if the new ipod classic is 4.1/2.4/0.4 inches and weighs at 140 grams. The display is a 2.5" LCD screen with LED backlight at 320 by 240 pixels which is the same size as the previous model but gives a brighter look. The ipod comes with the standard cables and earphones ...

...the aesthetics. Usability is something apple has always prided itself on and it definitely doesnt disappoint. The scroll wheel feels comfortable to use and it is very easy to select what you want with minimal fuss. This gives the ipod the edge over its creative competitors as their scroll system is deeply flawed as its very fiddly.
Audio quality is where the ipod has been challeged in recent generations, but having conducted stringent tests with ...

Good investment Review ofApple iPod classic 80 GBby
sofibarnes
Advantages: Very good value Disadvantages: earphone quality
...and from my experience the Apple Ipod is the best one!
It has most things you could want.
Positives
1. It is very good value for money. Mine was £160.00 which for 80GB worth of space is amazing! I think I must have bought it at a very good time because Apple had started to reduce the prices!
2. There are lots of features available to you; alarm, podcast, movies, photos, able to shuffle songs etc.
3. It is good that the ipod allows you ...

Advantages: Looks good, easy to use, good for value. Disadvantages: Freezes sometimes, repetitive use can hurt hand, screen a bit small.
I found the Ipod 80G Classic looked good and I paid £157 for it and its been a good companion. I think its easy to use and it does exactly what I wanted. I play videos and TV shows from mine and I find that very useful as it is very good quality. I also use it to put photos on and its easy to show people and when I want to look at my memories. Also I know that my photos are saved on it and recently when my computer failed I found it really useful ...

Advantages: Features and versatility Disadvantages: Headphone quality
This is a smashing little device for listening to music files or watching your video clips on the move. As always Apple's design is sleek, stylish and highly ergonomic. As far as battery life is concerned you should get about 30 hours if you're listening to music or 5 hours for video clips.
The iPod 80 GB comes with plenty of features. There are different categories into which you can place your music files. Cover-flow allows you to scroll through ...

WOW!
The 80gb ipod classic is by far the best portable music player i've ever had! not only does it look great, you can store up to about 9000 songs on this beast!
despite the fact it looks rather big and hefty, its actually quite light and you tend not to notice it in your pocket untill you dip in to find some loose change.
the sound quality on it is amazing. you can get all sorts of equalizers for more bass, more treble, etc... to find the ...

Yet another iPod in the huge line of different varieties....
Personally I would say the iPod classic is the most reliable of iPod's especially if you are clumsy and drop things a lot as this is one durable iPod. However this is reflected in the size and it's quite a big piece of kit. Personally this doesn't affect me, but there are a lot of people this will affect who just love having the smallest phone/music player. However, another way the size ...

There's not much I can say about Ipods that hasn't been said before. They're beautifully assembled, quality pieces of kit that are rightfully sought after and deserve their place as the number one MP3 players. So I'll just talk about some of my own personal observations.
Music
All the options you could need. Artists, Genres, Albums, Playlists, Podcasts, Audiobooks, Compilations, Search option, it's a joy to navigate. Animated cover flow is a great ...

I bought my Ipod Classic around a month ago to basically be able to carry all my albums round with me at all times and have a couple of my favourite movies to hand if I am ever bored.
I used to have an Ipod Nano and thought that 2 GB of memory would be plenty for what I needed but soon found that I couldn't fit no way near half of my albums on there and had to cherry pick my favourite songs due to there being not enough space available.

Its a classic! Review ofApple iPod classic 80 GBby
martinfathers
Advantages: Lots more improvements with a lower cost! Disadvantages: itunes not included
So my old third generation ipod (you remember the 4 buttons at the top) died about 6 months a go and i've been meaning to replace it ever since. So as soon as i got paid i poped down to my local John Lewis and picked one up for £159 and you get a years free guarantee with it as well. You can also get the 160 GB model for £229
Where do i start?! This is so different then my old one. Better off course! The one thing i remember it took hours to transfere ...

Advantages: storage capacity Disadvantages: the cost is a bit over the top
...has been two years since Apple launched its last standard iPod and it's not surprising to see the design tweaked this time around. But while it hasn't received quite as dramatic a makeover as the nano this is still a very nice refinement. The most obvious change is to the glossy front fascia, which has now been dumped in favour of anodised aluminium fronts.
Like the nano, the corners are rounded and the edges curve gently towards smartly sharp ...
