Apple iPod classic (120GB)

by Nate Lanxon

Comments:
120GB of storage and the addition of the Genius feature make up for the slightly reduced battery life over the previous model, reaffirming the iPod classic as our favorite portable audio player on record.

Review Verdict: will always be more suitable for the gym, but for other purposes the classic's size and weight shouldn't be an issue

Apple's iconic audio player gets even better with the addition of a brighter screen and more storage.

Review Verdict: Movies debut as well in the iTunes store built into iTunes 7, along with features such as automatic downloads of cover art, and a "cover flow" view of the iTunes library that lets you flip through albums as if you were examining a rack of CDs

apple ipod classic review: The name suggests more of the same but with more space and better value. Hard disk lag issues, video out controversy and just okay sound stop it from being a true classic though.
