Product Functions: Photo Viewer
Strengths: Better-looking interface graphics, face is less scratch-prone, cleaner sound
Weakness: Sometimes sluggish menu transitions, less responsive clickwheel
With the iPod Classic, the original, hard-drive based iPod gets a long overdue refresh (after the stopgap "5.5 G" update last year) with some promising features. By far the biggest change is the interface. Finally making good use of the iPod's color screen, which heretofore wasn't much more than the original iPod interface in color, the Classic splits top-level menus into two panels, with menu...
Strengths: EVERYTHING, looK, feel, LOUD, powerful, battery is awsome. Product is way more than just an MP3 player. Im sooo happy with it..
Weakness: Doesnt come with itunes but whatever just download it for free. Get new headohones if your running or active with it. Cover flow sluggishness has been fixed by at least 75% by apple.LOVE this ipod
If you buy this iPod I recommend getting a better set of headphones. Most importantly buy a case to hold your iPod in. I personally have the kind that wraps around my arm cause I workout and run so much. I’ve seen the Zune in person and the thing is kinda ugly compared to this iPod and it feels cheap; the iPod feels like a million bucks. Its slick and the wheel is 10 times better than what the...
Strengths: Great storage capacity.
Weakness: Small screen, Cannot use generic cables to connect to your TV.
Overall, this product is excellent. It has great storage capacity and great output. The screen is kind of small for viewing movies, but it still okay for most uses. I have been able to store a huge number of songs, tv shows and even quite a few movies on it and I still have plenty of space. The one thing that surprised me and that I only found out by going to online forums was that the feature...
Strengths: Automatically syncs to I-Tunes. Easy to use and navigate. Lightweight. Large memory.
Weakness: I had some problems getting it to work with FM transmitter but I finally got it and it wasn't problems with the actual ipod.
This is my first ipod. I've had this ipod for about a month and have yet to have any problems. My only problem is most likely that I got one with a large capacity that I will prob never fill up. I think it's great that I can upload video, but have yet to try that. It has a very nice sleek design.
Strengths: Glass screen and Metal case more durable then plastic. Lots of add-ons. 80 Gb is massive storage. More then enough. Looks very sexy in the palm of your hand. Bright screen. Stock Earphones are great.
Weakness: Sluggish cover flow and menu transitions. (Due to there being a HD in there.) My usage averages 16hrs MAX before Batteries need recharging. No case. Warranty sucks.
Overall I really like this iPod. Having to download iTunes is no big deal right now. At least they post it unlike Creative (You know what I mean). Having no stock case mean extra cash down but I usually don't use stock cases cuz then suck. The Earphones are pretty good. Plays video and movies very well. Audiobooks are great. No problems so far. And I have yet to have a freeze up so far. I went...
Strengths: Very durable and solid construction. Sleek gadget feel. The video screen is crystal clear. The controls are very intuitive.
Weakness: The enclosed earphones are cheap. The screen could be larger for viewing video. Viewing video with this screen can be tiring if view for long hours.
Apple again has renovated an already great product with its overall construction to the intuitive controls and design. The presentation of the coverflow art makes it a joy to view it all the time. A great sleek gadget for anyone of all ages.
Strengths: Huge Capacity, Excellent Sound Quality, very slim and easy to carry and handle, easy user interface with split screen, artwork with navigation, quick search feature
Weakness: No Power adapter, No video ouput requires separate cable, Click lacks quick response and senstivity.
This is a great product. Has excellent battery life and huge capacity and light weight. Has bright LCD with split screen. Navigation with added artwork. Worth the price. Has 3 Games but no software provided for dvd to video uploads with conversions.
Strengths: Capacity...Reliability...Compatibility with many accessories
Weakness: Haven't found a weakness yet.
Previously had purchased a Zune, but was very unhappy. After consulting friends, I chose the Ipod Classic instead. Plan to transfer all my old CDs and be able to listen to them while driving without having to do the "disc shuffle".
Strengths: Intuitive, 80GB, screen is vivid, video mp3
Weakness: Screen size
Overall its a great product. Nice clear screen, reasonable battery time and good capacity. Great sound. Down side would be cost of unit acc. Battery not replacable, if it goes down so does the iPod.

Mixed Bag of good and the bad
Strengths: Well-priced, Sleek look, lightweight(not as light as nano though), all metal casing, a super bright screen, loads of storage space
Weakness: doesnt come with the iTunes CD, the soft covers for earphones, sleeve case for ipod missing, no FM, no inbuilt speakers, clickwheel response sluggish as also the song artwork takes time to show up!
I would like to start my review for this iPod by saying that I have owned a 30 GB video 5th gen iPod for 2 years which was stolen from me. When I saw that the prices on these classic iPods have been slashed because of iPod touch launch I decided to buy this one. I like it when taken for the overall look and feel needed in a MP3 player but as i have used iPod before there are some things that I...
