With 80GB or 160GB of storage, iPod classic gives your music and video room to move. It also has plenty of energy (up to 40 hours of audio playback), good looks (a sleek, all-metal design), and a great personality (a brand-new interface with Cover Flow). In other words, iPod classic makes an ideal companion.

The iTunes Store features thousands of free video and audio podcasts, including indie favorites and offerings from such big names as ABC News, Comedy Central, ESPN, PBS, NPR, and many more. Browse and subscribe to podcasts, then sync them to your iPod classic. You can even play video podcasts on TV using an optional Apple component or composite AV cable.

Audiobooks
The digital shelves of the iTunes Store are stocked with thousands of audiobooks--including exclusives like the entire Harry Potter series--so you can catch up on your reading wherever iPod classic takes you. iPod classic recognizes where you left off and bookmarks your place. You can even adjust the reading speed to suit you.

Photos
iPod classic holds up to 25,000 photos you can sync from your Mac or PC via iTunes. Use the Click Wheel to scroll through photo thumbnails the same way you scroll through song titles. To see a photo full screen, click the center button.

Search
With up to 40,000 songs on your iPod classic, you need an easy way to search your collection. A built-in search function lets you use the Click Wheel to type out the name of the song, artist, album, audiobook, or podcast you're looking for. iPod classic returns results instantly as you select letters.

Extras
Calendars, contacts, and a clock appear in the Extras menu, along with a few more handy items. Take the screen lock, for example. Spin the Click Wheel to choose a four-digit combination and protect your iPod classic from prying eyes. If you forget your combination, just reset when you sync. Or use the built-in stopwatch to log your best times.

Much better than people say.5
A few years ago i purchased the 1st Gen Nano and loved it! It was a great Ipod, But unfortunetly the screen died, so i went to look into a new Ipod.
A few of my friends had Classics, but the click wheel's were unresponsive and laggy, so i had doubts about it. they were all abolished when i bought the New Classic, it has a wonderful Interface, and a amount of storage.
Although the Click Wheel is a tad slow, it seems to vary in different Ipods, but Overall, its great. You will Love the Big Screen, the storage, the Interface, and many other cool features on the Ipod.

Thanks Mr. Jobs2
It lasted 3 months. I've NEVER dropped it. It doesn't have any viruses. My computer has no viruses. I've restored it 20 times and it wont add or delete new songs. The apple people won't listen to me because i don't have a warranty. After reading many forums about my problem, every thread ends with people telling the OP he needs to buy a new ipod. I'm not inexperienced with computers so I know what I'm talking about when i say that I've tried everything. I should have bought a Zune.

Excellent Product5
I received this product as a gift recently and I absolutely love it. I have an older model (ipod nano generation 2) and this one has much better improvements.

The design is very sleek with no buttons sticking out. I was surprise of the size of it; very small and could be carried around easily. The screen resolution is great with vibrate colors and text can be easily be read.

The controls are very simple: just slide your finger on the wheel to select your music and press play. I love how the button are clearly labeled; it's very intuitive.

The graphical interface are easy to understand. You have a main menu to choose from: Music, Video etc. The songs are listed in order for easy access. My old Nano ipod doesn't play videos and with this, watching movies on the road is a blast.

The give this produce a 4 stars out of 5. It would be nice to have an expansive slot for increase memory and a compartment to replace batteries.

Overall this product deserves high recognition.
