I finally caved in & bought an IPod. I've never been anti-IPod but never thought I would need one as I'd been using my phone as my mp3 player. With a 1GB memory card in the phone I thought that would be enough. It was for a while but eventually I found myself listening to the same songs over and over & having to choose what to take off to put more on. I collegue of mine had an IPod and an FM transmitter. I really liked the idea & when I found out about the 160gb IPod Classic decided to take the plunge. I haven't bought the transmitter - deciding to buy some speakers instead. EASE OF USE The IPod menus are easy to ...  Read the complete review

People often criticise Ipods and opt for the alternatives such as a Creative Zen or a Sony MP3, but in my opinion, you cannot beat an Ipod...Especially an Ipod Classic. If you want ease of use, high amounts of storage, sound quality and a large range of accessories then you are definitely looking in the right place. Storage The 160GB model Ipod has the capacity to hold up to 40,000 songs in 128-Kbps AAC format, up to 25,000 iPod-viewable photos and up to 200 hours of video, I for one, most certainly cannot quite fill mine! Quality Although the included Apple Ipod earphones are not high standard, with the purchase of some ...  Read the complete review

The iPod classic is actually by far the best iPod for anyone to buy if they want to own a portable media player with massive memory. I bought one and was not dissapointed! I really like this iPod! It certainly took a step up from the iPod video... Improved design, now with a Chrome Backplate and much appreciated bigger memory. The Cover Flow feature found on the iPod may be slightly pointless in some peoples eyes but I feel that its a nice little feature to have available! With most iPods you find that you will be organising your iTunes Library so that your iPod only carries certain songs and artists but now you can carry your entire music and video library ...  Read the complete review

I have had my Apple 160GB ipod classic or ipod video for over 4 years now and it has served me well! I have the black version, but it also comes in silver (which my partner has). With 160GB of storage this gadget can store your music, photographs and even videos which can be played back with headphones or you can hook the device up to loudspeakers to play back your music. According to Apple 160GB will store 40,000 songs, 200 hours of video or 25,000 photos. This will obviously depend on the size of your music, video or photo files though. ~ Presentation ~ The ipod is about 1cm thick, 6cm wide and 10 cm long. The front of mine is matt ...  Read the complete review

==== WHY I HAVE AN IPOD ==== I have never been one of those described by marketing psychologists as an early adopter. Equally, I am invariably wary of products which seem to put style above substance. As a result, I was a late convert to the virtues of Apple's iPod, one of the first technological and style icons of the new millennium. However, just over a year ago, I bought an 80Gb iPod, on which I listened to predominantly audiobooks, radio podcasts and spoken word, mainly in the car on the regular long journeys I have to undertake for work. Then last week when on holiday in the UK, car thieves stole my iPod, I had no hesitation in seeking to ...  Read the complete review
