For nearly a decade now the word iPod has become a synonym for music player. This not only proves that Apple have an effective marketing department, but also that they have made something special. Their newest version of that original gem is the iPod Classic. This for one means saying goodbye to the old gleaming white iPod and hello to more space than you will ever need for music.
The 160GB Classic holds 40,000 songs or to put it another way 4 constant months of music. This is the same old iPod that has become so popular, just with a new interface. The few new additions are a cover flow feature for scrolling through albums and a tough metal cover for the front - but the click wheel is still here. While only a small detail, the wheel has become the trademark of the iPod and even though the Touch and Shuffle have gotten rid of it, it's nice to have a familiar option.
The flaw with this iPod is it's slow interface - probably busy loading the 160GB of music. That said, you get used to the 2 second delay very quickly. It's a small price to pay for so much storage, you no longer need to carefully chose which songs make the iPod. Although its bulky, true music fans will gladly put up with it's weight for the music they love. This is only a small setback as the iPod has a great new QVGA display and a clearer screen cover which makes a big difference. All in all, you're still getting one of the best music players on the market. The best part- they seem to be getting cheaper by the day.
