The Apple iPod family album

By James Kim, Jasmine France, Derek Fung and Donald Bell on 18 September 2008

Apple iPod Classic

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.

  • Good: Huge storage (who really has 40,000 songs?) • Good value • Anodised aluminium front feels like quality • Video and photos are bright and clear • Interface looks even slicker than ever ...
  • Bad: ... but marred by hard disk lag issues • Sound quality still, at best, mediocre • Cover Flow a case of form over function • New accessories required for video out
  • Specs: Hard disk • 100GB • 320 x 240 pixels • Yes • See more specifications
  • RRP: AU$349.00

    I can't believe my iPod only came out in 2005... it feels ancient compared to the new iPod classic, no video, no games, no flipping through cover art to select the next song.... I can't wait for Christmas...
