Apple iPod Classic 80GB

 

Renewed and still one of the best players around.

Complaints about the restrictive file format support, volume level and games compatibility aside, if you're in the market for a high-capacity music and video player the iPod Classic should be high on your shortlist. Its years at the top of the MP3...

Apple iPod Classic review

 

Yet another new look for the king of portables

Elegant and easy to use ; Superb value ; Simple interface

Small screen ; Format restrictive

Amazingly elegant, if restrictive, the iPod's massive capacity means it's still one of the best media players around

Apple iPod Classic review

 

What's not to like about the new 160Gb iPod Classic? Nothing, except the headphones

Vast capacity for the same money ; subtle but stylish new look ; even better sonic performance

Pathetic headphones

Carry your entire music collection in uncompressed format – with room for a few movies – and play it back in style, too

Apple iPod classic - First Look

 

Launched at the Beat goes on event in San Francisco and then televised around the world, Apple has announced a new iPod; the iPod classic. But should you drop everything and run out and buy one? We managed to get our hands on one at the London event in...

Metal casing, CoverFlow

No touch, no real change apart from metal casing and some software tweaks

Apple iPod classic 80GB

 

For us, the newly renamed iPod classic is the quintessential iPod, and on sheer value alone, it blows every other iPod out of the water. At the per-gigabyte price of the original iPod, the 160GB model should cost an astonishing £11,168

Phenomenal value, Redesigned interface, Three bundled games, Very good audio

Must re-buy purchased games, May not work with some accessories

Apple has annoyed us with its legacy support for games and accessories, but it's still superb

Apple iPod Classic review

 

Is the Apple iPod Classic still relevant, or is it time to put this iPod out to pasture?

The ; offers a solid, understated design with an easy-to-use interface and unbelievably generous capacity.

EQ control is limited; the plastic screen is susceptible to scratching; and the only way to move media on and off the device is through iTunes.

The iPod Classic refines the formula that put the iPod on the map. None can match its combination of storage capacity, battery life, and intuitive user interface.

Apple iPod classic 2G review

 

Lacking the wide-screen wonder and connectivity of the iPod touch and the 4G iPod nano's gee-whiz accelerometer and shake-to-shuffle feature, the iPod classic doesn't feel new or innovative. Rather, it's a tested and reliable way to carry around your...

AppleiPod Classic

 

The 6G iPod is not the 6G iPod ' it's the iPod Classic. Will this aluminium-clad mega-player be able to live up to its heritage?

Amazing storage capacities. Build. Performance. Price

Sluggish operation. Slightly bulky
