160GB Classic... ARRIVED

[Deleted member 651465]

Hey all,

My shiny new 160GB iPod Classic arrived.. pics for those who are of the visual persuasion


Firstly, they are shipping in a much better box...much slimmer.

Here it is shaping up against my older 80GB iPod "Video" (on the left)

..and here's my custom engrave message (stolen from hamish)

As you can see it is still thinner than the older 5G iPods, and the 80GB is meant to be thinner again.. i'm impressed!

As much as I'd love all my music in my pocket, it's still too big to fit in my pocket

And they've still got the shiny back, why did they not change them to be like the nano?

Nice new interface..

Bad shot.. sorry, trying to capture the coverflow without the flash.

They've regressed? I think my free one from the promotion might have to be passed on straight away

The classic does look nice, but I'd want to keep it perfect, therefore I'd never take it anywhere

You could always buy a case?

Did you already fill up the 80GB EVH or were you still in a trance from the keynote?

Filled it with pictures and my mega music collection

I have a question about the new interface. If you browse by album or song does it now display the artist next to it? That's something that bugs me on 5g ipods.

Fair enough, you're excused then

I've been thinking of upgrading myself... gonna be running out of space on my 80GB soon. The perils of encoding everything as Apple Lossless

if you browse by album you get a small album art pic with the album title next to it and the artist just below.

if you browse by song you get no album art but the song title and the artist just below that.

Very nice, thanks for the info. I'm assuming the Nano has the same interface?

 

[Slogan]

Nice work, EVH.

Still think I'm gonna go for a 16gb Touch though.

 

[Durzel]

Man, I was secretly hoping the 6G interface wouldn't be that much better so I could put off buying one - but it does look the business

What does Coverflow look like on it? (I was under the impression its on there)

EDIT: Just realised you've pasted a pic of Coverflow already

 

[kvfb97]

edit: you just realised

 

[Deleted member 651465]

Sorry about the coverflow shot.. it looks a lot more vibrant in the flesh

 

[JDMAN]

EVH, a weird question for you but does the body of the new iPod scratch or smudge easily?

 

[Deleted member 651465]

Can't say I'm looking to scratch it, but it definitely isn't as smudge-attractive as the older plastic model

The back bit still collects fingerprints, but the front is very nice (think MacBook Pro).
