 What's not to like?... September 27, 2007
9 out of 24 found this review helpful
All this complaining, i just don't get it. People need to just step back and think for a minute about how revolutionary this product is. You can carry your whole music library and all your photos around in your pocket and watch tv shows and movies to boot. For my buck, the ipod is still far and away the best option out there. The navigation system is so much better than anyone elses not to mention the sound quality, the itunes interface, or the secondary accessory market. the problem i guess is that they set the bar too high too many times. me personally, i couldn't care less about the ipod touch (who needs it?), i'm just giddy about 60gigs for $249....
 When customers are viewed as sheep!! September 26, 2007

Yes.....iPod created the wave with its beautiful mp3 player line. People loved it and placed complete trust in Apple. What ever comes out of Apple, must be the best and costs reasonably......The business strategy is to take people there before the corporations drop them down and make a helluva lot of money for lesser and lesser. I remember iPods used to come with chargers et. al. which has to be bought seperately now. Now with this jukebox what is called as a 'Classic', No TV out, poorer quality of audio. They brought in a newer and a cheaper chip that is not only a poorer performer but also a feature chopper!! Apple has disabled the TV out in an effort to sell another of their $50 product. AV cables work no more. Tell me something.....why will somebody watch a movie on a 2.5inch screen, unless they are waiting in a stinking airport? I also think their menu-ing system has slowed down a bit. Definitely they have been infected with Microsoft's monopolizing disease.
Here I am one of the first sheep to buy this product.....It is a shame. If you find a 30 or an 80 gb 5.5Gen iPod.....Simply buy it. Run for it since people are drying up this product from the market. I am sure this is an opportunity for other manufacturers to get ahead.
Big Disappointment September 26, 2007

I bought new iPod classic 80 GB yesterday and a day later I think I am ready to return it. There are several problems with this iPod. If you never owned iPod before you may not notice these issues. However, if you owned iPod video or iPod photo you will be greatly disappointed.
Things that I don't like:
1)You can't enlarge album artwork anymore
2)The artwork doesn't load immediately when you browse your music.
3)When you browse and click on artist it gives you all the albums that you have and tells how many songs are in each album which I find annoying since I have lots of classiclal music and it doesn't make sense when you read that Mozart's Symphony No.40 has 4 songs.
4) Cover Flow doesn't support all album artwork. Some just won't load on iPod. I don't even bother to talk about that feature. it's useless
However things mentioned above are not major problems. They are very subjective,just something I dislike. The big problem with new iPod classic is its click wheel. When I used my new iPod for the first time I even thought maybe something was wrong with my fingers instead of suspecting that something maybe wrong with click wheel. That's because I had iPodphoto 60Gb for 2 years and it worked exceptionally well. But after reading all negative reviews online I realised that everyone has the same problem with click-wheel. How can Apple allow this to happen when they always brag about their patented clickwheel in the ads is beyond me. It's just a shame. I like the design and the bright screen of new iPod but who wants to wait for music to load for five seconds or who wants to try adjusting volumes multiple times because click-wheel simply doesn't feel your touch.
Like some other reviewer mentioned here I really wanted to buy iPod touch but 16 GB capacity is a joke in our age.I think Apple is just teasing consumers and will probably release 60 GB or bigger versions of iPod Touch close to Christmas to make huge sales. It's kinda sad what Apple has become...
 They break September 26, 2007

I dont know if Im the only other person having this problem, There is so much space it is very cool looking and shows picture, never figured out the video stuff, oh and i also owned a 30g older one befor i bought this one, the problem is I run, alot but not like crazy, whatever i just work out, so they break. the running or olyptical makes them jiggle and break on my arm so I am forced to get a Nano, they are work out safe, at least thats what the gyu at the Max store said. SO annoyed I have to buy yet another one just over a year after i bought this one

i returned it 2 days later, after i've found out ipod nano and old ipod are more responsive. how come apple allow supposedly new products to be released with less impressive user experience than the one they hope to repalce...
