The new iPod classic is a huge disappointment with only one positive note. When Apple had their live music event last week, Apple should have trimmed the scroll wheel to the size of the nano’s wheel, increased the screen size, or increase memory capacity beyond 160GB. Instead they failed to do everything that would improve the iPod classic. Yes, we now have a 160GB model as oppose to the 120GB model. However, the 160GB model was already released two years ago despite the fact that it was a bit on the bulkier side. On top of that, the black model still has that cheap AWFUL looking plastic casing on the top that seems to have been manufactured at a dollar store. The iPod is a decent MP3 player and its ease of use is great. But its flaw comes in the fact that its failed to EVOLVE properly. The Zune atleast has a huge 3.2 inch screen while the iPod size has remained the same. Another sad note is that Apple of course has gone ahead and poured all their creative ideas into the iPod Nano by giving them those great fashion colors and now they even have the luxury of a built in camcorder that records video in High Def from what i hear. The videos can also easily upload to Facebook or YouTube. Plus, the Nano now has a FM Radio.
If Apple couldn’t provide the Classic model with Fashion colors they could have at least given this so-called new model a built in camera/camcorder or the FM Radio. Apple, does this make any sense?
Pros: Big memory for music lovers with an extensive music library
Battery Life
Cons: No evolution whatsoever
Small Screen Size that has not changed in over 6 years
No camcorder/camera
Cheap Plastic Cover
No Fashion Colors
No radio
No wi-fi
No FM Radio
No customizable backgrounds
Metal back still gets scratched easily
Cheap ear phones etc

While the ipod classic is easy to use, the quality isn’t up to snuff. After only 4 months of use, it started skipping out of tracks in the middle of a track to another track. I checked online and this problem is not unheard of. Unfortunately, none of the recommendations to fix this problem worked for me. Repairing the ipod costs as much as getting a new one, so I’m out over $200. My husband has had a Microsoft Zune for 3 years now and has had no problems.

Has this a couple of days and am very satisfied. The only problem I have with it is that it uses the same version software that the previous generation did. Apple failed to add Genius playlists to it like it did for the new Nano.

Apple dazzles, plain and simple. It started when I bought my first Apple computer, an Imac in 2007. I gave up on PC’s because they mostly were stressful to use and dread having to get in to a conversation with most technical advisors. If it wasn’t the language barrier or the attitude or the length of periods on the phone it certainly was the many programs that basically downloaded themselves wether I chose them or not. Anywhoo, since 2007 no serious problems have occurred while enjoying my Imac plus the shower singer in me has found the sorely needed wings it surely wanted through Garage Band and later Logic Studio, two amazing music programs for professionals and wannabees like me! Then in June 2009 Iphone 3GS was released and after having lived without a mobile phone since 1999 I decided it was time to own one, specially when I got stuck in a couple of situations that require phone calls outside of my safe home. The Iphone blew my doors away! Awesome device and the part about dealing with ATT not so nice. I find these type of companies money hungry and domineering and thanks to some judges their monopoly might come to an abrupt end any time soon.
Enter Ipod (Sheer Joy) exquisite design, incredible amount of storage (music, pictures, videos, etc) and really an all around great thing to own. In my case my car has an auxiliary jack and the simplicity to connect the Ipod to the stereo in my car is awesome. The optional cables allow the Ipod to connect to a TV and thrill friends and lovers with home made movies, real movies, etc. To say that Apple has the upper hand on all these products that are too cool for regular school is an understatement. One thing I will say: I am happy I joined the Apple group for even in their customer service they are above average, with very rare exceptions. I gave an Ipod touch to Chrisito (my favorite person in the whole wide world) and watching him use it daily, hour by hour, filled me with joy. Because the whole purpose of this type of products is to increase the excitement level in a person’s life and at this, Ipod Classic succeeds brilliantly! Yes I am excited, happy and proud to walk around with my Iphone, Ipod and who knows what other apple product in the future. It is all about how smoothly their products, so far, work. 5 Stars for the new Ipod Classic. For music lovers specially!

I have quite a family of IPODS each programed for special “mood”, but I could not pass up getting this new classic with 160 G’s. I’ve already loaded it up with the complete iTunes libraries in my three macbooks and I still have oodles of space left. I like the idea that I can have this kind of variety when I’m out and about. At home I hook the iPod to my TV and catch a movie about twice a week. I’m also impressed in Apple bringing down the price for such a quality product. When I bought my 80 gig classic it coast about $300. I must say my 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation shuffles , 60 and 80 gig videos and 3rd generation nano are very pleased with this new addition to our family. Papa Macbook pro and Mamma I Book G4 and Auntie G4 also welcomed 09 classic as she has made it possible to free up even more hard-drive space for future projects.
