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!

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

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

They apparently fixed some issues with the Cover Flow lag in a software update. I wonder how well it works with a large collection considering Cover Flow on my MacBook (2GB RAM) can go clucky at times (and eat up all the RAM)?
Click to expand...

My collection is over 80GB (Lossless) and coverflow is clunky on the iPod, the update helped the other menus, and coverflow a little; nothing major though.

It's not as bad on my MBP with 4GB RAM but it's still doesn't scroll like butter*



*Steve Jobs joke ;)
 
The screen size on the classic is perfect for tv shows, but not so great for movies.

The battery is much much longer on a classic though, so it's swings and roundabouts :)
 
It doesn't have a true matte finish like the Black MacBook, but it does appear matte because it's actually brushed aluminium (like the MacBook Pros) :)
