From Our Research Team:

Take your tunes with you anywhere!



The Apple iPod classic is a modern icon, allowing you to pack an incredible amount of songs, photos, and videos into its slim, ultra-portable body. And now it's even better and more powerful! A built-in 160GB hard drive holds up to 40,000 songs in the great-sounding AAC format, while the iPod classic can also store up to 25,000 photos and hold up to 200 hours of video. Aside from being an amazing resource for listening to your favorite music, you can use the iPod classic to store and check your latest mixes!

Apple iPod classic at a Glance:
  • Music at your fingertips
  • Cover Flow
  • Photos
  • Movies and TV shows
  • Podcasts, audiobooks
  • Games and extras

Music at your fingertips
Use the Click Wheel to adjust volume, navigate songs, browse in Cover Flow, or explore the Music menu by playlist, artist, album, song, genre, composer, and more. Want to mix things up? Click Shuffle Songs. iPod classic makes your music look as good as it sounds, thanks to its big, bright, color display.

Cover Flow
If a picture says a thousand words, think of what all the album art in your collection might say. With Cover Flow on iPod classic, you can flip through your music to find the album you want to hear. Use the Click Wheel to browse music by album cover, then select an album to flip it over and see the track list.

Photos
iPod classic holds up to 25,000 photos you can sync from your Mac or PC via iTunes. Use the Click Wheel to scroll through photo thumbnails the same way you scroll through song titles. To see a photo full screen, click the center button. You can even view photo slideshows - complete with music and transitions - on iPod classic or on a TV using an optional Apple component or composite AV cable.

Movies and TV shows
Buy movies from the iTunes Store and you can sync them to your iPod classic to watch anywhere, anytime. The gorgeous 2.5-inch display makes your movies pop. And iPod classic keeps you entertained for up to 7 hours. Long flight or darkened room? Adjust the brightness for even more video playback time. You can also browse thousands of episodes of your favorite TV shows on the iTunes Store, buy them and sync them to iPod classic. Watch last night's episodes this morning, or buy a whole TV series and play a pocket-size marathon.

Podcasts, audiobooks
The iTunes Store features thousands of free video and audio podcasts, including indie favorites and offerings from such big names as ABC News, Comedy Central, ESPN, PBS, NPR, and many more. Browse and subscribe to podcasts, then sync them to your iPod classic. You can even play video podcasts on TV using an optional Apple component or composite AV cable. The digital shelves of the iTunes Store are stocked with thousands of audiobooks - including exclusives - so you can catch up on your reading wherever iPod classic takes you. iPod classic recognizes where you left off and bookmarks your place. You can even adjust the reading speed to suit you.

Games and extras
Put hours of fun at your fingertips. iPod classic comes with three games - Vortex, iQuiz, and Klondike - and you can download more from the iTunes Store. All iPod games are designed specifically for the iPod interface. And all of them look great on the 2.5-inch color display. Calendars, contacts, and a clock appear in the Extras menu, along with a few more handy items. Take the screen lock, for example. Spin the Click Wheel to choose a four-digit combination and protect your iPod classic from prying eyes. If you forget your combination, just reset when you sync. Or use the built-in stopwatch to log your best times.
