I am a fully-invested Mac/iPod user, and I thought the great capacity of the 160GB unit could hold a large lossless library plus a bunch of videos to view externally; NOT!
I love the capacity and am ok with the shortcomings of this being, well, an iPod, but I am very disappointed that Apple crippled the video out port, as I have two dockable accessories that I can't use with this iPod, even with their $50 cable-type "adapter".
This was just a really bad decision by Apple, as it will result in reduced iTunes video/movie/tv show downloads. And why would anyone pay an extra buck for an "HD" episode of a show on iTunes if you can't play it on an external screen? Makes no sense.
This is a strong 4-star unit, in my opinion, without the video out "problem".
The worst part, for me, is that I personalized the back of the thing when I purchased it on Apple's website, so now It's impossible to sell it; be warned!
This could have been a great, all-in-one unit, but Apple unfortunately went backwards with this generation, rendering it a "music-only" type of player.
One very pleased customer. September 13, 2008
I have owned the Apple iPod classic 80 GB Black (6th Generation) for three months by now and I have no problems or disappoints with it. I bought it to replace my 30 Gig iPod Video, which I had for three years. I had no problems with it, either. I simply wanted the upgrade and sold my old one to a friend.
My new iPod Classic's external functions are the same as my old one. The updated internal software is impressive, though, with the new cover flow and the way it displays the files in general. Plus, on my old 30 Gig iPod, when I would scroll through its files while music was playing, there was some lag; but not with the new Classic. Now, when I scroll through my various files as music plays, I've noticed no lag.
Some reviews here have reported about some lag in the software when scrolling through the cover flow, but I've noticed none. Some reviews also reported that the click wheel was not as sensitive as what they would like. Again, I haven't noticed any problem being able to use the scroll wheel. Remember that these iPods are miniature computers. Computers actually do have the ability to learn. The longer you use one, the more accustomed it becomes to it's user until all of the user's habitual activities become ingrained into the very way the computer functions.
The battery life is incredible on the Classic. I've heard of people complaining that their iPods were only lasting roughly 4 years until the battery just quits. The biggest way to deplete a rechargeable battery (which iPods are obviously powered by) is to keep it plugged in all the time. If people would just let the battery get very near to empty each time before they recharge it, they'll be amazed at how long the batteries are actually intended to last (much longer than only 3 years). In a nut shell, just treat the battery well by not leaving the iPod plugged into the computer all the time; that'll deplete it faster than anything. Remember they're rechargeable, not continuously-chargeable.
Lastly, if people would simply treat the iPod with care and not bang it around or drop the thing like so many people drop their cell phones a dozen times a day, they'll find that their iPod will last a lot longer. Again, they're miniature computers, not something simple, like jump drives; they're more complex and have moving parts inside. Too much banging around will eventually knock something loose inside and likely kill the iPod's ability to function like it's designed to.
All in all, I highly recommend the new iPod classics if someone is looking for an mp3 player with tons of file space to store their media.

I think iPod likes to suck your money away, because there is no FM tuner radio, and it costs almost another $50 to have that. What's a stupid gadget!!! I'd like to spend my bucks for zune 80gb (2 generation) which I assume it's more tolerate with people's money.
Awful! September 12, 2008

I've had my ipod for six months now and at first I loved it right up until the problems began. After buying 2 games, my ipod froze up while playing one of the games and indicated that I needed to email customer service in order to restore my ipod. Luckily, I plugged it into my computer to charge the battery, and after about 15 minutes, the ipod reset itself and I did not loose any music at all.
The second problem I have with this ipod and I own a nano as well. If your computer crushes, it is difficult finding the correct software to purchase in order to get your songs back from your ipod onto your new computer (Itunes Library). Once you purchase this software all of your songs still are not transferred back onto your computer.
The third problem is Apple recently came up with a software update that automatically downloaded Safari(Apple's search engine) onto my computer and it ended up deleted all of my yahoo icons and search engines. The Safari software nearly crashed my computer so just be caution about your apple ipod software updates and read the very long disclaimer before downloading or updating anything or you could destroy the settings on your computer.
