The iPod Classic is just like the fifth-generation iPod with video. The iPod Classic is much better because it is slimmer, tougher and has a better graphical user interface.

Some of the down side issues with the iPod Classic are that the video output now requires a proprietary cable. Also, audio quality has not improved, some older iPod video accessories may not be compatible, users are required to use the latest version of iTunes, which may not work on some older computer systems.

The iPod Classic is a refinement of the original iPod that put the word “iPod” on the map. It does offer great storage capacity of 80GB or 160Gb, a great battery life, and a wonderfully user friendly graphical interface.
