- Storage and battery
- I have a rather large music collection. At least, compared to the average Joe/Joanne. Nearing around 180GBs, it's good to finally see a product that can handle most of my collection. Personally, I dislike Apple. I don't like Macs, I don't like iPods, I don't like iTunes, and I really can't think of anything about them that I do enjoy. However, at 160GBs and a 40 hour battery, I think I am more than willing to take the plunge and buy one of these as soon as I get the finances to justify it.

- I may have to go to 40 hour days!
- I think 160 GB is NOT excessive. In fact I think it ROCKS! If I fall down with my IPod in my pocket I hope I have the bass boost on so I can cath the vibrations. Besides I don't carry it in my pocket I use a belt clip so I think I'm ok. Speaking as someone who has legally gathered about him tons of music, podcasts, and video for the IPod I think 160 GB is just about right. This year I have spent months in the hospital and on the couch recovering from three surgeries and a lengthy hospital stay. My 60 GB kept me sane but now and then I could have used a bigger one. Especially since I had no access to a TV for months at a time. Keep up the good work Apple.

- At last!
- I don't yet own an iPod, and no, I'm not Amish! I have been sitting on the fence for years waiting for an iPod that has the capacity I need. My CD collection is 75Gb, ripped at 256k MP3. My partner probably has a further 15Gb.
I don't want to have to pick and choose albums to carry on my music player, I just want an iPod that holds EVERYTHING and has room for GROWTH.
This is it, at last.
I finally get to join the 21st century and own an iPod. Thanks Apple. - 2007-09-06, 36 of 72 people found this review helpful, Rated:

- I think this was just released a little too late. I mean all of us are already rocking our 30,60,80 gb ipods. Why go and buy another one!!! And it just is not fair to those owning an ipod that found that this new "ipod classic" is the same price or even cheaper than the 80 gb!!! Dissappointing. But still, Id go out and buy it, considering the new layout and so-called "features."

- hubris
- i think 160 is a bit excessive, especially in this day and age of global warming and international crisis. also, if you think about it, they could have shrunk the size quite a bit by maintaining the hard drive at a reasonable memory level. if you fall down with 160gb in your pocket it's going to hurt a lot more than if you have, say, 40gb in your pocket due to the additional volume/mass. at some point we just have to say "enough's enough!" with the memory wars. i mean if it's 160 now it should be 200 next year and 365 the year after that! i see no end in sight.
