80GB iPod classic Sixth Gen. Black

Pros: Excellent features, large capacity, sleek, good battery life, easy to use

Cons: Back scratches easily (it can be prevented with a case)

The Bottom Line: This is a great gadget for music lovers of all ages. Whether an upgrade or a new purchase, this will satisfy all of your personal multimedia needs.

Review: I digitized my music collection in my first year of college after space and time constraints made juggling my CD collection increasingly frustrating. The transition coincided with my discovery of iTunes; this fabulous music player and organizational ...

Pros: Stylish, reliable, plays movies too, massive capacity

Cons: The standard ear phones are awful

The Bottom Line: A great offering from Apple that will last for years

Review: iPods have come a long way from their humble roots of being a personal music player. With the ability to play music, play videos and be used as a photo viewer I think that Apple have gone too far. Apple have developed a niche since the iPod is more ...

Pros: Massive storage, great sound, superb Apple design, long battery life, navigation enhancements

Cons: Still scratches easily, included earbuds are lousy, be sure to upgrade

The Bottom Line: Best non-touch screen iPod yet. Industry-leading sound quality and ease-of-use, combined with huge capacity, amazing battery life and new interface enhance the user experience.

Review: 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.

The Bottom Line: Apple never ceases to keep it's products changing and update, the iPod Classic is not simply a name change, it's a new iPod, and you'll like the changes

Review: 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: Ideal for the music lover that doesn't want to carry separate devices.

Cons: Always bigger and better iPod-type devices being released

The Bottom Line: No better method of storing an entire music collection and taking it with you.

Review: An iPod?A friend of mine a few years back made an interesting comment to me that stuck in my head:  "There's no reason to buy CDs now-a-days."  I don't completely agree with that, as there are some artists that can't be found on ...

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.

The Bottom Line: It's the standard and for good reasons. The storage is huge, it's easy to use, and looks and sounds good

Review: 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: Sound quality, user-friendliness, storage space, lots of accessories available

Cons: Click Wheel can be unresponsive, initially digitizing CD's is time consuming.

The Bottom Line: Highly recommended; more functionality than most will need.

Review: I've been a musician for 10+ years, and have collected more CD's than I can keep track of.  When I noticed that I was only listening to a few albums, I bought a small generic MP3 player for the gym.  I tired of it pretty quickly, because I ...

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.

The Bottom Line: Apple does a great job making great products that are well worth the price. This new iPod is no exception!

Review: 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: sleek, light, aesthetically cool, sound quality superb, easy to use, has radio and recorder

Cons: doesn't come with a jacket, and hard to find a jacket because it's so new

The Bottom Line: I highly recommend it for anyone who is looking for an alternative to ipod, and who is looking for more features than ipod

Review: Just as everyone is crazy about ipods, and that tons of assessories are designed and manufactured for ipods, I find the features in ipods are very limiting. My previous mp3 player was an iriver, where the sound quality was satisfactory. However, I ...

Pros: compact, versatile and capable

Cons: easily lost

The Bottom Line: Buy one it will pay for it's self over and over again.

Review: Working six hours a day preparing food with little to no contact with any other person can become very tedious and boring. One week of this was enough to prompt me to find some way of entertainment. The IPod classic black 80 GB was the perfect ...
