    iPod Classic

    Aniket Kadam, Oct 08, 2008 1700 hrs IST

    The Classic is for those who want the video playing capabilities of the iPod without the limiting size of the iPod Touch.

    Good battery life, Crisp screen, Excellent interface, Large capacity, Excellent sound quality, Good design.

    Unresponsive click wheel, Restricted to iTunes.

Design

Apple continues its stellar design with the iPod; the entire enclosure is composed of anodized aluminum and polished stainless steel. The screen feels larger than usual but is still the same 2.5' of the 5G iPod video. However, the screen itself seems more vibrant than before and watching videos on it is a pleasure. The scroll wheel is slightly modified here, the centre button is silvered and slightly concave, the buttons are easy to press and look great.



At the top there is the hold button that serves the standard purpose of ignoring all input when flipped, to prevent accidental input when it's in your pocket.

The dimensions are identical to the 5G iPod classic though for some reason it feels slimmer.
This is "heavy" for an iPod at 140 grams and feels rock solid. The only noticeable change from 5G in terms of design is the rounded edges it has now.

The device is the perfect size to hold in the hand. However, for those looking for an absolutely tiny sized player would do better getting a Nano, the only port on the bottom is the standard USB connector. The device charges via a USB cable when connected to a computer.

Apple ipod rocks!!!No saying no to that.i recntly bought a ipod classic 120gb one...well its rocks..the only difference b/w 5th generation and 6th(present 1)is the UI is slow (guess due to large space 120GB)AND The clcik wheel is fulltoo responsive ..the only thing is to not cover the ipod with anything then the clcik wheel wont work properly

Apple sure plays a lot with its monopoly. But its products are definitely unbeatable. Use any other player, and then use An ipod. You'll know the difference

What do you know about apple and iPod's? I am using a mac for years and am quite happy with my 80 GB Zune and iPod Nano. Apple makes quality products. Enough said.
