[JDMAN]

Thanks for that. All thats left now is to decide between the 160GB Classic or the 16GB touch!!! grrr I hate decisions

Good tunes

Meh the iPod video looks nicer, too bad they didn't just update the internals.

Looks like a worthy candidate for when my 4th gen 20GB dies. 2.5 years and counting

Does the new interface still have the option to view compilations from the music menu? I believe the nano's don't have this feature and looking at the demo on the apple site it seems that they have removed this feature in the new iPod.

Argh! Driving lessons or iPod!

My old 20GB Archos gmini 400 can probly go another 3 years... but iWant!

I've heard it's really slow at scrolling due to the cover flow?

Looks cool though!

 

[J1234]

No problems with mine.

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)?

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*

Woot ordered a 80GB black iPod classic earlier, should be here next week

hopefully a good replacement for my 20GB 4th Gen iPod

I've been thinking of getting an Ipod classic for watching videos etc on the train..

What is the video playback like on it? Is the screen big enough to watch tv episodes without messing ** eyes up etc?

 

[griffy]

I bought myself an Ipod Touch and the Mrs upgraded her 4gig nano to a 80gig Classic
Will post some side by side shots tomorrow so you can see the screen difference etc.

 

[Deleted member 651465]

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

 

[VeNT]

is it just me or does that black one look like its got a matt finish?
I'd kill for a iPod with a nice matt finish

 

[Deleted member 651465]

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)
