Apple Ipod 80GB

Advantages: Big memory, not heavy in weight, long battery life
Disadvantages: None that I can see

...I purchased an Ipod classic and I must say that it is one of the best purchases I have made. It has a massive memory and easy to use with iTunes. Movies, TV programmes, music and photos, everything is on mine and it is so easy to add and take off things you don't require for a while. I have 80GB and I have 600 photos, 520 songs and 60 movies on it and I still have 40GB to go. Absolutely brilliant, my friend has just bought a 160GB and it is so easy to use he doesn't need my instruction to use it for the first time. With a large compacity this is certainly one for all generations and is great if you are travelling because you can take advantage of the long life battery and watch films, tv or listen to music while you travel....

Ipod Classic 80gb

Advantages: Incredible memory and looks
Disadvantages: possibly too much memory?

...This is probably my most treasured possession. With the size of the memory, you can store more pictures, music and videos than you could ever possibly need. A pro and a con there... If your not going to fill up 80gb, i wouldn't recommend buying this ipod. At the moment i have nearly 6000 songs, and 9 (approx. 1 hour length) videos stored on my ipod classic, and still have 47.3 GB space free. If you can fill it, it's incredible value for money. If you can't, it seems a little pointless. It's very easy to use, you can make playlists on the go, the games are extraordinarily fun- not something i'd normally think about, but the ipod version of solitaire has kept me amused on many a train journey. The battery life is very good, as long as you don't continuously fiddle. The alarm is good... but has failed to wake me (a deep sleeper) up...

bravo apple team! apple ipod classic 80GB

Advantages: great quality.
Disadvantages: expensive

...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 perfect sound for the song you are listening to. the only thing i would say is bad about the ipod classic is the touch pad, sometimes this can get stuck or it wont sense your fingers, so it can get abit annoying trying to scan your whole archive of music when youre struggling to get from the a's to z's! The headphones! if you really want to get the best out of your ipod classic then change...

Apple 80gb Ipod

Advantages: Very good sound quality, looks great and even has games!
Disadvantages: Ipod and accessories quite pricey, but worth it!

...If you\'re looking for an mp3 player then this is the one to get. Watch vidoes, browse through photos, listen to music and play games! I recently upgraded my 60gb photo ipod to this 80gb video one. The sound quality remains fantastic and the extra 20gb gives me enough space to add some music videos as well as video pod casts such as Ricky Gervais or 8 out of 10 cats to name but a few. As you may have seen, it looks fantastic - it is smart, sexy and very clean looking. With only the 2 circular buttons on the face you can stop, play, skip, fast forward and rewind your tracks. At the top there is also a hold button which allows you to disable all of the buttons so that if you accidentally press one of them, nothing happens. Very handy for jogging, or simply walking down the street. The screen on this model is slightly larger than...

Ipod Classic 80GB

Advantages: Very Easy to use
Disadvantages: Unresponsive scroll wheel

...I decided to buy the Ipod classic so I could use it watch movies for when i went on holiday. First impressions where great, I loved the sleaker new design from the case even to the USB lead. The music quiz is a great improvement from the previouse model it's like a game show. The Ipod is easy to use as always no problems with putting music on there and no problems with movies. The movies themselves are of great quality and handy on long journeys to watch. The battery also lasts a long time if you charge it for long enough when you first get it but I found if you are watching a movie on it then reduce the brightness so the battery lasts that bit longer. The one major problem I had was the lack of response from the scroll wheel. A lot of the time it doesn't respond at all and then shoots all the way past the song you...

iPod 80gb

Advantages: stylish, great features
Disadvantages: poor earphones, shiny silver back

...The iPod Video 80gb is the ultimate in portable mp4 players dominating over 50% of the market. It is suprisingly small and fits into trouser pockets very nicely and is the ultimate cool accessory to have. Also the iPod is good value at £200. This thing is like a small hard drive, 80GB is the amount of storage I have on my laptop. There is so much space on this thing that I doubt you will fill it with your music collection unless you have 20,000 songs. The ability the iPod has to play videos is great as you can download music videos and other videos such as comedy videos and cartoons off of iTunes for free in some cases although the screen isn't the largest and you will not be able to see films that well because the screen is small. Another great feature is the ability to store pictures. On your iPod you can now store your...

Review of Apple iPod 80 GB

All you need to know about the Ipod Classic 80gb

Advantages: Too many to list... just read the review
Disadvantages: Barely any, maybe the screen is a tad small

...Up 'till about 2 months ago i was proud to be one of the few people who didnt own an ipod of some sort. I considered myself to be going against the trend, standing against the monopoly that is the ipod. How wrong i was, it wasnt untill i'd got through about my 3rd MP3 player in a year, that i decided enough was enough and i would go against my beliefs and take the plunge. One of the best retailing decisions of my life. Firstly, you dont realise the true elegance of this machine untill you have it in your hand. No picture shows the incredible lightness and the beautifully styled metal backing, you really have just got to try one out. Also due to the removal of the conventional hard drive from the previous models, its new flash memory based system is completely and utterly silent. The one drawback i have with the design is that is smudges...

Apple iPod classic 80 GB - Good or Bad?

Advantages: Great design, Fantastic sound quality, Easy to use
Disadvantages: A bit frail, battery problems, Rubbish after sales warranty

...brought this item from ebay with full warranty for £200 as opposed to £299 from uk high street stores last year and have been very happy with its great sound quality and bass sound, and its great easy usability compared to rivals, although i have had some problems along the way, including, terrible battery life (4 hours continuous play) and the fact that the ipod would generally just freeze and not reset its self until it was synced with the computer, which was an absolute nuisance as i listen to it throughout the day!!! so i took it to the apple shop in oxford street and they 'fixed' it. but again it kept losing battery life and freezing. i took it back a further 3 times before they finally agreed to give me a new one. i thought maybe it was an isolated case but its happened to a few people i know too. so beware when buying one in...

APPLE 80GB CLASSIC

Advantages: YOUR FAVOURITE MOVIES AND COMPLETE ALBUM COLLECTION IN YOUR POCKET
Disadvantages: SOUND LEVEL ON MOVIES NOT 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. Now having 80GB it's surprising how much you can actually fit on it. I currently have around 15 movies, a season of lost and over a 100 albums and am still well under 30GB. It's unbelievable. Unless you would like to put all your movie collection on to your Ipod then I can definitely assure you that an 80GB capacity would more than cover your requirements. The Ipod has a great new feature...

iPod Classic truthful review

Advantages: Easy navigation, clear large screen, huge capacity, great looking, excellent value for money
Disadvantages: iTunes a little annoying, dodgy earphones

...**UPDATE** After having this iPod for 18 months now, I thought I'd update my review as parts of it are no longer true. This review was updated 22.07.09 :-) ** UPDATE** I'll have owned my iPod Classic for two years when December comes, so at the end of this review I'll give you an update on how it's running almost 24 months after it was first purchased. I was hesitant about buying an iPod as my first, an iPod mini a few years ago, broke and never mended itself as soon as I bought it. It was sent back and I've been using other (decent) players since. But iPods are so popular I decided to give them another shot and, truthfully, am very pleased that I did. After using a perfectly good Samsung YP-Z5A 4GB Mp3 player, I was bought the iPod Classic 80GB (in black) for a Christmas present. Firstly, I would order it off the official...
