Comment: Other manufacturers appear to have given up on hard disk-based MP3 players, but not Apple. The latest iPod Classic has a huge 160GB capacity, yet it's no thicker than three £1 coins thanks to its single-platter 1.8in hard disk. You might think the ...
Comment: So, the iPod appears once more, in yet another incarnation. Given the success of the player over the years, we wouldnt expect to revolutionise its product, and so it proves. This is more of a gentle evolution.This new, fifth-generation iPod is thinne...
Good: Improved sonic performance, thinner chassis, great allrounder, stylish finish
Comment: A year ago almost to the week, we brought you the review of Apples iPod classic -- the 80GB and 160GB hold-all iPod. One year later, its available in just a single, slim 120GB capacity, with most features remaining unchanged. So is there any point...
Good: 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
Bad: Only one capacity option; lacklustre EQ options; weaker battery life compared with previously available classic
Bottomline: 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 ...

Comment: It was in 2001 when the world saw the debut of a device that went on to acquire a near 'generic-term' status for portable music players. It virtually became a crime to step out without those signature white ear buds. What we finally have is the 6...
Good: Huge capacity, UI
Bad: Familiar design is now boring, Scratch prone chrome back
Comment: Classic er det rette navnet, for lite er nytt på siste generasjon iPod classic, bortsett fra at lagringskapasiteten har økt og Apple har lagt på prisen med en tohundrelapp. For de ekstra pengene får man 160 GB lagringsplass – 40 GB mer – på en liten 1,8-t...
Comment: Think back to the first new car you owned, how you loved its smell, its glimmering paint, its awesome newness. Then recall, four years later, when it—with its scratches, stains, dings, and unattractive habits—becomes nothing more than a reliable mode o...
Good: Lots of storage capacity; impressive battery performance; Genius playlist support; browse album and artist features; slightly brighter display; charges with FireWire connection.
Bad: Doesn’t include such cool new iPod nano features as accelerometer or spoken menus; those with large media libraries may mourn the loss of the 160GB classic.
Bottomline: Apple has done very little to improve the iPod classic with this iteration—that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It remains the iPod to own if you want to carry a lot of media with you. The Genius feature is a nice addition as is the ability to...
Comment: Apple extends its iPod line with the 6G classic - a successor to the 5G classic - and has quite a legacy to live up to. The Classic is for those who want the video playing capabilities of the iPod without the limiting size of the iPod Touches. This me...
Good: Good battery life, Crisp screen, Excellent interface, Large capacity, Excellent sound quality, Good design.
Bad: Unresponsive click wheel, Restricted to iTunes.
Bottomline: The iPod Classic goes for Rs.15,000 for the 120GB version, which is just about what an 8GB touch will cost you. Depending on whether you want the larger storage space and actual music or just a better convergence device you could make your choice betw...
Comment: Lacking the wide-screen wonder and connectivity of the iPod touch and the 4G iPod nanos gee-whiz accelerometer and shake-to-shuffle feature, the iPod classic doesnt feel new or innovative. Rather, its a tested and reliable way to carry around your...
Bottomline: Apple has done very little to improve the iPod classic with this iteration - thats not necessarily a bad thing. It remains the iPod to own if you want to carry a lot of media with you. The Genius feature is a nice addition as is the ability to quickl...
