Apple iPod classic 160 GB Black (7th Generation) NEWEST MODEL
The new 160GB iPod is by far Apples best iPod , and out of all of the iPods that I have, this is my favorite.
First, the capacity of this iPod is simply unbeatable. I've yet to see another portable media player that can match the iPod Classic in capacity. I have a huge music library, and it's nice to be able to carry every song that I own on my person at all times. What's more, thanks to the iPod Classic's capacity, I also have room to carry a few videos with me, and some of my photos. If you don't like having to pick which songs to load onto your portable media player, the iPod Classic is the way to go.
The second thing that I love about this iPod can be summed up in two words: it works. The 160GB iPod Classic that was introduced in 2007 was extremely buggy, had a non-responsive Clickwheel on many units, crashed frequently, and required a hit-and-miss firmware update to stop the hard drive from spinning even when the device was "off," which often lead to dead batteries. All of these problems left the 2007 160GB iPod Classic warming shelves and earning it the infamous "honor" of being the "worst selling iPod ever," according to Apple. I'm pleased to say that the new 160GB iPod Classic released earlier this month has virtually none of these problems.While it's true that many of these issues were fixed with last year's iPod Classic, there hasn't been a truly functional 160GB model until now.There's no "spinning hard drive bug," the Clickwheel is incredibly responsive, and the device isn't crash-prone. To put it bluntly, this is the iPod that Apple should've released in 2007. Finally, I would highly recommend this product both thumbs up from me. I don't like the iPod Nano; it's too small for my hands, and the screen is too small for my eyes. The iPod Classic is an excellent portable media player and has an excellent interface. To put things in perspective, the 2009 160GB iPod Classic costs $70 dollars more than a 16GB iPod Nano, and $150 dollars less than a 64GB iPod Touch. All in all, I highly recommend this product.
