    Both players have their strong points, but the best feature remains the simple interface and excellent design. Read more

    My hands-on time with the new iPod classic left me with a largely positive impression. It's less exciting than the nano in terms of its new appearance and fewer major feature upgrades. However, two of those improvements - considerably better battery life and a major boost in storage capacity - are welcome changes and should make the classic especially attractive to those who want to listen to large music libraries on the go and away from outlets.

    As the latest hard drive iPod, the Classic - with its extra capacity and metal casing - is a good extension to the series. Yes, the silver model falls flat, but the black version is spot on. We'd say the same about the revamped user interface if it wasn't for its inconsistencies. Some backgrounds are white, others black. Some screens have iPhone-style widgets, others are more like the old-style iPod UI. Buyers will benefit from many of the improvements - the search, t... Read more

  1. iPod Great, iTunes a shambles

    Unfortunately, given Apple's twinning of iPod with iTunes, it's virtually impossible to review an iPod without being dragged into reviewing iTunes. That's a shame, because the 80Gb iPod Classic is great. There were only a few disappointments with it: 1) the disk drive makes it much heavier than I expected; 2) the screen is too glary; 3) the price does not include a cover or charger. Still, it's got scads of space, the battery life is good (don't get stung buying a pow... Read more
