Grooving on the music with the cool new features of iPod Classic


I really love my iPod classic and just like me, you might be one of the proud owner this cool, eye-candy shiny gadget. It's thin, sleek and modern design, would surely make anyone fall in love with this baby.


iPod classic is very rich in features and it is the most innovative, and the most lovely(for me) released iPod. This portable media player is marketed by Apple and is the mos
t sophisticated model of the iPods. There have been six generations of iPods and iPod classic is the latest one. With advanced technology of user interface, operating system and some other features ipod classic is the latest ipod by Apple.


Though iPod classic has got many things similar with its previous generation iPod the advanced technology lies in its whopping hard drives. I own an 80GB iPod classic but there is also a 160GB model, which is an ideal archive for your songs and videos. The other change that you can notice inside the iPod classic is OS that has been upgraded with the menu system. The other major change that is noteworthy is the battery life. In smaller version with 80 GB, you can get 5 hours of video and 30 hours of songs. The larger version with 160 GB memory you can get 7 hours of video and 4 hours of music.


If you look at the features of the iPod classic you will find many pros and cons. The first thing that will catch your fancy is the dual screen menu system. In this system you w
ill find the menus covering only half the screen. Some critics say that it would be beneficial only if you need to see something else in the same screen. Otherwise, it is just a waste of space on the screen. But as for me, I still find the upgrade for the interface excellent. In the sixth generation iPod classic Apple has introduced a more powerful search system. You are going to store a lot of files in this device and the search by spelling system is a pretty useful upgrade. The video of the iPod classic is not much different from the iPod but you can get a marginally better quality in iPod classic. The better thing is that, you can play a full length of film on your iPod classic in one charge.


The games included are also fun to play. I personally like to play vortex but there are also other games such as iQuiz, Klondike which are all new and have much improved graphics. On the downside however, this device is not well-suited for 5G games. Even there is no other game available other than these three games. And the chances are also there that the polished metal back is prone to scratches (and I really hate to see my iPod getting scratched).


The chief difference between ipod classic and its previous version is its capacity of 80GB and 160GB, its new software and smaller shape. Ipod classic is thinner and lighter. Basically, it is a refinement of 5th generation iPod. And you can find it as an evolutionary step by Apple in the field of iPod than a revolutionary one. If you like music and videos very much (just like me) whether on the go, just hanging around or relaxing, then this gadget would be definitely be best for you.
