In the respect of quantity and quality i think this product is the best out there, you can carry round your entire music library (unless like my partners yours is larger than life) in basically your hand. Yes its still a little bit bulky but nothing like the gargantuan bricks they used to be. The socket on the top i also find really useful for when you have it in your pocket unlike the other iPods where the socket is on the bottom. Maybe they could bring out a few more choices in colour for the ipod classic.
One thing i don't like about them is the wheel- i find it sticks abit too much, unlike the nano where the wheel runs smoothly this one seems abit.. jerky, one minute it goes too fast, the next wont move at all.. and vice versa. Plus when theres so many songs it gets tiring trying to find what you're looking for. But all in all a great portable music player!
