The newly image-led interface is excellent, and this model is the slimmest iPod ever
Review Verdict: The move to a metal rather than enamel faceplate finally rids it of its age-old susceptibility to severe scratching. If only this would adopt the 16:10 screen and touch-sensitive interface of the iPod and iPhone, and then, format support and resolution as

The sixth generation of iPod has huge storage capacity, but with the touch on the scene is it past its sell-by date?
Review Verdict: If capacity is your prime concern, the iPod classic is the one to own. But it's not flawless. Yes, the interface is slicker and sometimes more helpful, but ultimately it's no easier to find and play your music on this iPod than it is on a 5G iPod. Given t

QuickTake:
Pros: Bright, clear screen; excellent battery life, improved user interface, includes three new games, sounds as good as previous full-sized iPod; attractively priced with good price per GB
Cons: Sluggish interface and unresponsive controls, incompatible with many existing dock-connector accessories, can't use previously purchased games, Cover Flow not terribly helpful

First look: Apple iPod classic
Comments:
There's no getting around the fact: Apple's iPod line was in dire need of a refresh heading into this week's press event in San Francisco. And Apple provided that refresh in spades.
Review Verdict: My hands-on time with the new iPod classic left me with a largely positive impression. It's less exciting than the nano in terms of its new appearance and fewer major feature upgrades. However, two of those improvements - considerably better battery life

Review Verdict: The iPod Classic is a refinement of the formula that put the iPod on the map. Few can match its combination of storage capacity, battery life, and advanced user interface.
QuickTake:
Pros: The iPod Classic is just like the fifth-generation iPod with video, only slimmer, tougher, and injected with a more visually rich graphical user interface.
Cons: Video output now requires a proprietary cable; audio quality has not improved; some older iPod video accessories may not be compatible; users are required to use the latest version of iTunes, which may not work on some older computer systems.
