Massive storage capacity; long battery life; supports video and photos
Small screen for viewing photos, video; not a significant upgrade from previous version; screen, backing metal not scratch-proof
It lacks the beauty and deep features of the iPod Touch, but the Classic sports huge capacity and great battery life for those with big media collections. ...
Abstract: 40,000 songs! It can hold my current CD collection (which is pretty substantial) and all the music I buy for years to come. Or you can fill it with seven hours of video, though the 2.5-inch, 320×240 pixel display is too small for long term vi...
Apple is doing what it does best, and the 160GB classic is nothing short of it. It packs in a good feature list and is really worth your money.Similar PostsSeptember 3, 2009 -- Nokia Announces X6 And X3 (2)August 10, 2009 -- Review Of Zune HD MP3 Play...

The iPod Classic offers a sleek, understated design with an easy-to-use interface and great podcast support; Genius feature creates new playlists for you; video playback is excellent; and rated battery life is great.
EQ control is limited; some older iPod video accessories may not be compatible; the plastic screen is susceptible to scratching; users are required to use the latest version of iTunes, which may not work on some older computer systems.
The iPod Classic refines the formula that put the iPod on the map. Few can match its combination of storage capacity, battery life, and intuitive user interface. Price range: $234.99 - $249.99 check prices See all products in the series
Abstract: No FM tuner or other impressive features are present. The Classic is perfect for a portable media player that has a lot of storage space to listen to your favorite songs and watch your favorite TV..
Lots of storage (enough for 15,000 songs at a modest bitrate), 36 hours battery-life, Easy-to-use, iTunes cover art feature works well, Well-built... feels like it could handle a little abuse, Price ($249),
No support for FM radio, No support for FLAC (Apple Lossless is, however), iTunes is almost forced for song transfers, Discuss this article in our forums!, Have a comment you wish to make on this article? Recommendations? Criticism? Feel free to head over...
A classic tribute to what has become a tech gadget of classic proportions. ...

Apple has done very little to improve the iPod classic with this iteration - that's not necessarily a bad thing. It remains the iPod to own if you want to carry a lot of media with you. The Genius feature is a nice addition as is the ability to quickl...
Lots of storage capacity; impressive battery performance; Genius playlist support; browse album and artist features; slightly brighter display; charges with FireWire connection.
Doesn’t include such cool new iPod nano features as accelerometer or spoken menus; those with large media libraries may mourn the loss of the 160GB classic.
