More than three years ago, I wrote a review about my first iPod, a 20 GB 4th gen model. I'm now on my third iPod, after having an 80-GB 5th gen model. For me, the iPod Classic is the best non-touch screen iPod Apple ...

Pros: More storage for the same price as the previous generation. More battery life.
Cons: Some people may not like the new screen layout with the menus cut in half.

Don't let the name "Classic" fool you, this is a new iPod. The naming scheme basically comes into play because of the new iPod Touch which was released in the wake of the iPhone. Apple decided to give those of us who aren't all ga-ga over the touch ...

Pros: Sounds great, looks great, tons of storage. It's the standard others compare themselves to.
Cons: Miniature hard disk drive is more fragile than flash memory music devices.

Face it. The iPod has set the standard for portable personal media entertainment. It's the one that all the other guys, SanDisk, Creative, MS Zune, etc. have to compare themselves to. The iPod Classic has raised the bar again. As a former user of the ...

Pros: User friendly, bright screen, scroll wheel, iTunes, Excellent Battery Life
Cons: Small screen, cover flow lags, scratches quickly, games are boring

With so many different MP3 players in existence today, it is hard to tell which is the best of them all. Most larger sized MP3 players require a fairly large investment of money; usually $200 or more. The iPod Classic, as of 2008, stands to be the best ...

Pros: Earphone quality as good as any other earbud-style, easy navigation
Cons: Non-stellar sound output (especially via speakers), no SRS WOW

I purchased this edition of the ipod around 3 months ago and it has done just what I wanted it to - keep me entertained while I do other tasks, whatever they may be. Using this product is simple, and even though I had never owned an ipod before I ...

Pros: Capacity, battery life, durability, screen quality.

This ipod is incredible. I am a music freak, and I listen to it constantly. I needed something that has not only good sound quality, but could also hold my collection. I also needed something that had exceptional battery life. The ipod Classic was ...

Pros: Holds an incredible amount of music, easy to take anywhere
Cons: Screen scratches easily, beware the security lock feature

I've had my 80-gig iPod classic for a little over a year now, and it has been one of the best investments I've made as far as home or car entertainment goes. In fact, because I bought the thing I've completely digitized my CD collection (clearing out a ...

Pros: More storage space for the same money, and a beautiful screen.
Cons: Menu changes can sometimes be slow; some accessories may need to be replaced.

First of all, don't think that "Classic" means you'll be getting your older sibling's handed down iPod. "Classic" is meant to differentiate the original-style iPod from the newer iPod Touch, which sports the sleek styling of the iPhone. Right off ...

Pros: iPod Ecosystem, New Interface, anodised case . Zune larger screen, Fm Radio
Cons: iPod smaller Screen, easily scratched case . Zune basic funionality, poor software

Personally I don't like ipods, they weren't what I thought they were going to be. The first ipods I got was a 2GB ipod mini and the one I have now is a 80Gb ipod video. For one thing it took FOREVER to fully load and the battery didn't even last over ...

Pros: Lots of memory, simple to use, clean, attractive style.
Cons: Poor quality earbuds, fragile hard drive

I purchased the 80GB i-pod about 1 month ago as a replacement for a 30GB i-pod. All I can say is this i-pod is GREAT! I loved my 30GB- it just didn't have enough storage for me. So when I decided to replace it, I got the 80GB. I love the features- the ...

Pros: small, easy to use, reliable, great battery life
Cons: annoying procedure for updating photos, contacts, games

I had one of the very first iPods and I loved it . . . but that's not to say there were no problems. Happily, this model seems to have solved the most pressing--especially the issue of the poor battery life on some earlier models. With this iPod, I ...

Pros: Build quality, SOund Qaulity, Excellent itunes interface.
Cons: Menus move a bit slow.

My second ipod, first was a gen 2 10 gig. Classic is an excellent inteface with great features and build quality. It seems redundent to say to many good things about this fine player...it has really all been said by others and many times at that. ...

Pros: The sound is amazing and the amount of storage space is very nice.
Cons: The battery life tends to struggle after one year.

The iPod by Apple is a very nice product for listening to music and storing a lot of music onto one simple and small electronic item. The sound quality is very good and the headphones that come with the iPod are amazing quality! I have been able to store ...
