 Great Product! July 25, 2008
This is the sixth IPOD purchased by my family. It gets better every generation. Great product. Software is easy to use and downloading is very easy. Apple's MP3 players are the best.
Good but not great...minor disappointments... July 24, 2008

Everybody knows about ipod...no need to say about +ves...
but there are few disappointments compared to few others in market...
1. Ipod classic is bigger than most other models in that area...but I wish apple has concentrated little bit on increasing the screen size atleast about half an inch...
2. No wireless connection where everyone else is giving bluetooth or wi-fi
3. FM radio
4. SD Card capability is not needed, I feel with so much storage but apple can think about it...
5. Built-in speakers...
I think everyone else is cashing in those minor quirks...Hope apple comes up with something new in the next generation...
 Before You Buy One... July 24, 2008

While the iPod classic is nowhere perfect, mostly thanks to a busted interface (minus one star) and the approach of another generation (minus one star), it's still the best value in capacity, especially the fact that you can get 160 GB when, about three years ago, the iPod Photo was priced the same.
There are plenty of improvements. The interface has gone a renovation. First off, it is split in half now, one side with the menu choices, and the other that features icons explaining what feature it is. The capacity is even more of a deal and you can hold a lot more videos and photos to go along with your music for a lower price. While I miss solitare, the other games are pretty fun, and the Apple store has drastically improved their shelves with a lot more games (most of the eary games were a joke, anyway). The cover flow is another cool way to show off your album collection if your into that stuff. The battery has been improved, with 30 hours worth of listening, and It's measured by factors that can easily be reduced by things that don't tax the battery. It's huge and able to use, and people who have owned iPod's in the pass will easily fall in love with it's familiar yet new territory.
The main problem with the iPod classic, is it's interface. iPod's have been always known for it's awesome interface and design ethics. While the menus are certainly good designed, and actually better than the first one (as explained before), the click wheel is extremely sensitive, harder to use, you will mess up quite a bit. My least favorite part, though, is the way the menus lag. I don't expect it to be wizard fast, after all, it is a hard drive, but come on Apple, it's idiotic. It's akin to trudging through a slow computer, what happens when you try to switch users on a computer, and go on your profile while five other programs run in the other. It's extremely annoying. Just check out one at your local Apple store, and try test driving one. It feels like it's going to crash any second, and feels very unstable.
Also, considering that Apple always "surprises" everybody every fall, updating the iPod's yearly, expect to see one. Come people, Apple has updated the iPod lines every year during the fall, there has to be a method to their supposed surprises (madness doesn't quite fit the bill, but you know what I mean). It can't be that hard to show a pattern, and Apple is more concerned with staying ahead than being tricky people. And Apple may not just update the capacity, but Apple have always been able to have some cool new features under their sleeves.
Well, in the end, it's up to you. If the space is enough for you (honestly though, I don't really think 160 GB has much use for the average iPod consumer), love the interface, have the click wheel nailed down, and can stand the lag (some people have no idea it has it, but It bugs me a lot), go for it. For me though, if Apple had cleaned up the problems and it was just released, this would easily been a five star iPod. Even still, it still is a good iPod for those who have extremely large media collections, but be aware of the interface and the approach of another generation.
Love it! July 24, 2008
My husband surprised me with this Ipod for my birthday. It's my first one and I'm really happy with it. The sound quality is amazing, and you get all the features an Ipod can offer you such as video, pictures, music, etc. After using it every day for five months I haven't had any problem with it, it works perfectly. I really love this product.
The best iPod yet! July 23, 2008
I had tried an iPod touch for about 6 months because I thought the wi-fi internet would be cool. It kind of was, but you'd be surprised how hard it can be to find a wi-fi hot spot, and with only the 8gig model, I could only have some of my music, and 1 or 2 movies to watch. So I traded it in for the 80gig classic iPod and all of my music and movies fit on it, and I still have another 40 gigs to go.
