  • Abstract:  Worthy successors to the iPod name. The hard disk iPod is better than ever. The legendary white iPod is no more. In its place is a slimmer brushed aluminium model, in silver or black, known as the iPod classic. Unlike Coke Classic, its even better t...

  • Abstract:  Both players have their strong points, but the best feature remains the simple interface and excellent design. The iPod touch might be the one grabbing headlines, but Apple has given the entire iPod range a thorough shake-up. Theres no longer any suc...

  • Abstract:  With dimensions of 103.5 x 62 mm, the Classic is certainly a reasonable size for an mp3 player. It’s quite thin, particularly the 80 GB version, with a thickness of 10.5 mm (fully 3 mm less than the 160 GB version). The 80 GB model is also lighter, weig...

  • My hands-on time with the new iPod classic left me with a largely positive impression. Its less exciting than the nano in terms of its new appearance and fewer major feature upgrades. However, two of those improvements - considerably better battery l...

  • As the latest hard drive iPod, the Classic - with its extra capacity and metal casing - is a good extension to the series. Yes, the silver model falls flat, but the black version is spot on. Wed say the same about the revamped user interface if it wa...
