Yes
The Bottom Line:
Although the included headphones and small screen size are a little disappointing, the iPod Classic excels at storing media with a great battery life.
The iPod Classic allows us control over our entertainment.
Item Description: An iPod Classic is a device that allows a person to store almost any type of media right in their pocket. It can store music, movies, TV shows, pictures, games, you name it.
Capacity: An iPod Classic 6th Generation can hold roughly 80GB of media. This will hold 20,000 songs, 25,000 pictures, or 100 hours of video, depending on the file size. I have had this for over a year and I still have plenty of room.
Portability/Reliability: An iPod Classic easily fits in every pocket I have, being that it is only 4 in. x 2.5 in. This allows me to carry it anywhere I go. It is also light, being only about 5 oz. Even though it is a relatively small item, it is well-built, and doesn't feel like it's going to break right in your hand.
Battery: The iPod Classic greatly improved its battery over its predecessors. My previous iPod (a 30GB Video iPod) only held a charge of about 4 hours. But I was pleasantly surprised to find that this iPod allows you to listen to music for about 8-9 hours, or videos for about 4-5 hours. The battery is lithium and completely rechargeable. The battery is able to charge via USB cable (included) plugged into a computer or a charger for a wall socket (sold separately). Also, most docking systems today charge the iPod while in use.
Media Types: An iPod can store music, pictures, videos, and games. However, these files must be in the correct format in order for the iPod to recognize it. A music file must be in MP3, WAV, AAC, and AIFF. If you are ripping CDs into iTunes (the online store) you are safe, as the files will be in MP3 format. Video files must be in either MPEG-4, M4V, or MOV, no exceptions. Pictures I found worked best if they are in JPEG format. As for games, the only games available are those in iTunes, so don't expect to be able to play Halo on your iPod any time soon.
Downloadable Media: Apple has an online store called the iTunes Store. In addition to storing your media in the library, iTunes also allows you to purchase and download music, movies, TV shows, games, and podcasts. They have done a very good job trying to make everything available, but some artists aren't, like AC/DC or The Beatles. Songs range from $0.99-$1.29 each but albums cheaper if bought as a whole. Movies are mostly sold at $14.99 each, while TV shows are usually $1.99 each. Games are $4.99, which is a bit expensive to me.
Negatives: Not everything about technology is perfect, though. My iPod occasionally freezes, and although it can be easily fixed by resetting it, is still a downside. Also, the screen can be easily scratched, so I suggest buying a case for protection. The last negative thing I can say is the warranty. An iPod only comes with a 1-year warranty. I think that Apple can at least extend it to two years, but in any case, protect your iPod. Also, the screen size is, although very clear with a Max Resolution of 320 x 240, is still rather small at only 2.5 inches diagonally. Finally, the headphones that come with the iPod Classic aren't realiable and will usually break within a year.
My Experience: The iPod Classic meets nearly every one of my expectations. It allows me to listen to any one of my songs without having to fumble for CDs, allows me to watch a purchased episode of South Park with a single click, or play some Solitaire to kill some time. It is a perfect piece of technology essential for anyone looking for portable fun and entertainment.
