Testimonials...
OMG!!!!!! This website helped me so much! I just got my first iPod yesterday and this helped alot.
SallyAnne, USA

You are a genius, I thought I had downloaded iTunes 7... I didn't have to reset, everything came up as was on it when it crashed. I cannot thank you enough for not giving up, this one had sentimental value that you cannot believe and they do not make the black nanos anymore. I tried everything on the internet, and you are the only one that replied and kept at it until you solved the problem.
Thank you.
Buddy Kniffen, Midland, Texas

Wow Daniel! What a fantastic service. I really didn't expect such a prompt response, if at all. And thanks for your advice. I certainly will be downloading from the sites you have listed. We are bathing in summer heat here, whilst I guess you are sheltering from the approaching winter. As a student it is not unusual to work through the night and I must say, how fantastic it is to have music all night. And such excellent quality sound too. So thrilled to have iPod up and running!
Thanks again.
Ciao

User Interface

The new iPod classic features an enhanced user interface with fancy visuals like the split-screen menu with preview of cover art and Cover Flow, with which you can browse music by album cover.

Look and feel

It is made of black and silver anodised-metal casing which makes it less likely to scratching. The headphone jack has been moved to the bottom from the top as in previous iPod models. It's also a bit thinner than its predecessors. The 80GB is 10mm thick... down from 11mm for the previous 30GB model... and the 160GB is 13mm thick... compared to 14mm for the previous 80GB model.

The screen is 2.5in (320 — 240 pixel) as in the older version. Battery life is improved dramatically. The 80GB new iPod classic can play 14 hours of music or three and a half hours of video whereas the 160GB model plays 40 hours of audio or 7 hours of video.

What's in it for me?

There isn't much to the new classic from its predecessors apart from having an improved user interface and being sliimer. The 80GB holds up to 20,000 songs and costs $249 and the 160GB version can hold up to 40,000 songs and costs $349. New iPod classic also ships with three games... Vortex, iQuiz and Klondike.
