iPod gets the video advantage with the Apple iPod Classic 80GB

Strengths: Amazing storage space, excellent battery life and offers video

Weaknesses: Older iPod accessories do not work with this iPod, audio quality is like the earlier iPods

The iPod has already garnered tremendous user support via its ground breaking range of features and Apple fans usually wait for the next product launch with great anticipation. The 80GB iPod Classic falls in that product range and offers the added advantage of video which is quite cool. The overall construction of the iPod Classic is quite sturdy as well and you should have no worries about taking this video-cum-music player on your next trekking trip.

The audio quality of the iPod Classic has only improved marginally and the screen feels a bit too compact. You can also throw away your older iPod accessories when you upgrade to the iPod Classical since they are unlikely to be compatible with this new version. Talking about accessories, you also need to use a propriety cable for video transfer but that is a tolerable pain for most iPod users.

What works very well for the iPod is the fact that it comes with the twin benefit of good battery life and very high storage space. There is competition in sight when compared with these two features and that gives perfect excuse to buy the iPod Classic. I would also suggest that you turn a blind eye to the pricing of the iPod as it is definitely one of the most expensive mobile media players available to users at this moment.
