iPod Classic gives your music and video room to move. It also has plenty of energy (up to 40 hours of audio playback2), good looks (a sleek, all-metal design), and a great personality (a brand-new interface with Cover Flow). In other words, iPod classic makes an ideal companion.
With 80 GB of memory of storage minimum, the iPod Classic can store the contents of most users' music collections with room to spare for photos, games, videos, television programs and even movies.
The other improvements that have been added to the iPod Classic include a brighter screen, improved battery life, "cover flow" album viewing, easier searches for songs, artists and albums, and more intuitive song playing options.
iPod Classic sounds great with the included bud style earphones, but if you don't like the included headphones, there are hundreds earphones you can choose from in all price ranges and every configuration. There are also hundreds of add-on products for iPods including docking stations, auxiliary speakers, FM tuners, FM converters, cases, and the list goes on. No other personal entertainment system is better supported by third party vendors.
